1-MBD 2012 Candy-1131

When it comes to Halloween candy the world is made up of two different kinds of people. Those who buy early and spend November onwards working out as penance for eating it all before Halloween, and those who wait until the very last minute and can’t find the kind that they like to eat. I urge you to wait until the last second to buy your candy not only is it picked over, it might even be on sale!! Chomp, chomp, nummmm… nummmmmmbbbbmmmm

Let’s get real. If it is at all edible and purchased sometime before the “oh my gosh did we really forget to get candy 4:30 pm deadline when all the littlest tricksters hit the pavement toward the path of greater sugar consumption, it’s a goner. A long gone goner.

Nope I don’t like them that much, it’s just that we bought them for _______ insert name here, he/she/ [me]. I don’t even like this kind. Just imagine if I did. What category are you, early purchaser, easy eater. Or I’ll take anything, as long as it’s candy. My mouth is full, can’t talk…
