I honestly don’t even know what to say about this but … 4-year old Suri Holmes-Cruise, in the arms of her mother Katie Holmes, was photographed with a box of candy that is, IMHO, pretty inappropriate for a child to have. If you can believe it, Suri was holding a box of gummi candies that are penis shaped. To be honest, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Check out the crazy photos below.
Katie Holmes won’t be winning any prizes for her questionable parenting techniques. Not only was she out with daughter Suri, four, until well after midnight, but her precocious toddler was later snapped clutching a box of very inappropriate sweeties. Suri was seen closely examining a box of ‘Penis Gummies’ sweets as she and mother Katie, 32, paused to talk to friends before leaving ‘dessert only’ restaurant Serendipity 3. The box features cartoon like drawings of male genitalia, and unsurprisingly Suri seemed somewhat captivated by the brightly coloured packaging which contained penis-shaped jelly sweets. Katie seemed as oblivious to adult candy as she was to the late hour. The phallic shaped sweets were quite clearly an inappropriate choice for the four-year-old. A spokesperson for the restaurant told MailOnline: ‘The Penis Gummies sweets were purchased by the group from the gift shop at the front of the restaurant.’ It is not clear if they were a gift or a takeaway treat for little Suri.
What. The. Eff???? I mean … wow … really? Granted, a 4-year old prolly wouldn’t understand the inappropriateness of this kind of candy and, in fact, the human body isn’t something to be ashamed of but … penis candy, really? I’m really at a loss for words. Help me out, y’all. What do YOU think about this?

Granted suri has no clue what that is, but katie fails for not taking that away from her.
If she is too young too be rid of the pacifier then she is too young to have a penis in her mouth. What the hell is wrong with them? I understand it’s just candy, but…why penis shaped? Even is she asked for it and threw a tantrum which I wouldn’t be surprised if she did on occasion, as a parent you are allowed to say “NO.” Just tell her this candy is for grown ups.
I thought the candy itself was amusing, but your comment was even better.
Yikes at all my grammatical errors!
“If she is too young too be rid of the pacifier then she is too young to have a penis in her mouth.”
THANK YOU!
Yeah, Ella made my day, too :D
Brilliant. Amen.
I think Suri picked candy off of the shelf and Katie didn’t notice. I am sure she is embarassed by this and I am also pretty sure this was unintentional. I am also guessing that there was a lot of commotion with the papparazzi and people in the restuarant that this was easily missed. I for one find it absolutely hilarious and think it would be ridiculous to assume that this is naything other than an innocent mistake.
It is nice to read your sweet words but mothers are generally required to have sufficient sence to ensure their children are protected – if you cannot do this then don’t take them out exposing them to after midnight liaisons and allow them to hold items that will surely make the news. If it is a set up then mum is just as responsible for this as those who planted the items providing a huge image awareness for the product. Touch of Paris Hilton’s brilliant marketing – but this is not brilliant but supremely stupid to use your child in such a way.
My daughter had REALLY quick hands at that age. Kids just pick up what catches their eye. Katie probably took it away from her once she got a look at what the baby picked up (hopefully).
YEAH – when it says “until well after midnight,” apparently, they were out buying ice cream in that same place at midnight! http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20474086,00.html
So, she has her child out eating ice cream in the middle of the night and is letting her buy penis candies! WHAT THE!?
I’m gonna guess she was buying her the ice cream, and Suri saw those and asked for them. . .bc of the bright colors, etc. Haha! BUT DANG, I mean, it’s okay to tell your child “no” without an explanation. She coulda been like, “no, those aren’t for little girls.” LOLOLOLOL!
Um….. why is this kid out past midnight?
She probably picked them up from her Daddy’s nightstand. But seriously, what kind of mother allows her child to have something like this. I honestly believe that Katie is being drugged by Tom and the Scientology church. Sick and sad…
lolololololol!!!
I know that kids have quick hands and all, but another question is WHERE were they with Suri where she could have picked up this candy?!
My thoughts exactly……..!
Thats what I wanna know!! They don’t sell penis candies at the local Walgreens… the only places I know that sell stuff like that I probably wouldn’t go to with my 4 year old.
Its her daddy’s favorite candy!
Lets scrutinize every part of someone else’s parenthood and see if we find a sparkling record.
Honestly of all the things she could be doing wrong as a parent, I hardly think cock-shaped sugar is really going to do that child any harm.
What will Tom say about this???
I might be a bit unconventional, but I dont think it is a big deal. People in the US make way too big of a deal about nudity and body parts.
I think the childhood obesity epidemic is far more harmful to children than looking at cartoonish anatomy.
@krissy I agree. I am a mom… I wouldn’t buy it for my child but if that was at a store and if she saw it and asked me what it is. I would just tell her it is a male private part and laugh cuz its a silly candy and not for kids. I wouldn’t judge a parent if they gave some to a kid though. It’s not gonna kill them or damage them mentally. People are really uptight these days.
I agree with both of you. Here in Europe, any parent would have told her to just put it down on the shelf and laughed it off. No scandal here, it’s just some silly candies.
And here in Italy, nobody is shocked seeing young children being strolled around by their parents at night. It can be a frowned-upon behavior, yes, but essentially we all mind our own business. Nobody is calling social services on other people – unless they do very bad, bad things to their children.
I too think the little girl must be a really spoiled brat, but who am I to judge her mother?
The only thing that concerns me is: shouldn’t they both wear stockings, or pantyhose, or socks, especially the child? In NY it must be still freezing these days!!
I’m with ya’ll as well. She more than likely doesn’t even know what a ‘penis’ is. She probably can’t even read the word correctly. Big deal. Let the kid hold a box and look at the colours.
Im less concerned about how innapropriate the candy is, and more the fact that she’s allowing a child to eat sugar at that time of night. Surely she wont sleep well after that
I am disgusted by the parenting techniques of these 2 assholes. Their scientology bullshit theories that children should make their own rules is going to bite them in the ass.
woah. what’s next for little suri? a vibrator? i used to like her cos she’s cute but she’s gonna grow up into a spoilt little brat like paris hilton.
Can never start too soon with the man-eater training.
I just drank three fishbowls of rye and gingers and LOLed at this! I guess I’m on the ‘okay with it’ bandwagon. But my hangover tomorrow may change that! HAHA!
Until then, where can I get some gummy penises?
All I can think is..I want some!!
I think Suri mght still be on west coast time so she was eating her treats at 9pm not midnight.
This looks like and sounds like a pretty incriminating story, but before we go and bash Katie for lack of responsible parenting, a few things: Serendipity has a teeny tiny narrow waiting area that is also a gift shop of sorts. Lots of gag gifts, etc and you are literally pressed up against it all while you wait. It is very likely that Suri picked this up while she was being held and katie didn’t notice right away/ have time to take it out of her hands before the photo was taken. Also, I don’t know how long they’ve been in NYC, but we might want to consider a time difference. Maybe they were still mentally on west coast time. Not trying to make excuses for it, but I’m just saying, what we see isn’t always what actually happened.

“woah. what’s next for little suri? a vibrator? i used to like her cos she’s cute but she’s gonna grow up into a spoilt little brat like paris hilton.”
Are you serious?? You used to like her but now you don’t? She is four years old. Jeez!!
haha oh boy. wonder if there’ll be any respones from the Cruise/Holmes camp at some point to this
u know sometimes when youre out shopping for groceries with ur child and the little one asks- mommy can i get the candies please and she grabs the package, the mom wouldnt neccessary pay much attention and just would allow the child to get it. therefore i highly doubt she was aware of the type of candies that they are.
and to be honest with sucha colorful packaging you may never think that certian things could be written so i dont think we should be assuming that Katie Holmes purchased these kinds of candies for her daughter on purpose.
oh please, this is ridic. im sure she grabbed the package and katie was unaware that it was full of candy dongs.
What kind of mother would take her 4 year old to a restaurant that sells candy dongs though? I have a 4 year old and I am fully aware that they are grabby, but I would never take her anywhere we would have this problem, though. And what kind of a parent keeps their child up till after midnight to go eat???
They’re in so many time zones, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just keep her bedtime in one zone instead of changing it every time they travel. As for the penis gummies, I bet lots of benign stores sell them. As a mother, I never would have suspected they were penises at first. Seriously, who had ever even heard of such a thing?
are you blind? the photos clearly show the obvious.
Yeah, honestly, Katie probably glanced at the package and saw that they were gummies, and said Suri could get them. I HIGHLY doubt she would knowingly allow her to have those. Also, that last picture kind of looks like Katie may have realized it and is laughing with whoever she talking to.
Please… how can you not notice the word PENIS staring at you in giant letters on the box??? I would hope a parent would not let their child just grab any old thing off the shelf. Katie appears to be having a conversation with someone and ignoring Suri… she was probably happy that something was keeping her quiet and didn’t bother to see what it was
UH OH!!! Somebody got a hold of daddy’s candy stash!!!
@Rocco11 — LOL
I want to give her the benefit of the doubt & assume she didn’t realize the gummies were in the shape of penises….but judging by the picture Suri is holding the box little inches from Katie’s face! & I wouldn’t keep my preschooler up past midnight but I thought a previous commenter had a good point about different time zones.
First of all, that box says PENIS in big, bright letters and it’s right in front of Katie’s face. There’s no way she didn’t see that! I would definitely see what was in my kid’s hand before I bought it! She BOUGHT it, right?? So how could she not realize what it was?
Secondly, doesn’t anyone else remember how Katie herself has publicly claimed that it was just “so hard” for her to tell Suri “NO”??? She probably “had” to get them for Suri, just because Suri wanted them and she didn’t have the guts to tell her she couldn’t have them.
Katie seems kind of ignorant in the parenting department… and that kid is going to be a hellion because of it.
suri seems to be used by katie as an accessory rather than a child.
Ok, the article said they purchased the candy from the gift shop. Obviously they understood what they were paying for. Firstly, who the F**K makes candy like that? Secondly, what parent in their right mind would purchase that for their child, whether they grabbed it or not, temper tantrum or not? Really? Really? I am a parent and I wouldn’t be taking my child to a place that sells these let alone buy them. What happened to happy meals and playgrounds for Pete’s sake? Just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean it’s a license for stupidity. God!!, any idiot can have a baby!!!
