Have you ever gotten a piñata for your child's birthday party or a family get together? You get them because they are fun. Yes, it involves hitting, but you are hitting an inanimate object to make candy fall out of it. That is its purpose. Apparently there are parents who don't want their kids to ever experience the craziness that is a piñata because they don't want to encourage violence. What is the world coming too when a piñata is too violent. If you are a parent that feels that a regular piñata is to violent you can now buy non-violent piñatas.
