Bad Candy Rant

I don’t know about you, but I never buy or eat candy except around Halloween. That’s the time of year I’ll eat a Hershey bar, or a Snickers, or a peanut butter cup. The rest of the year, nah. But in October…absolutely. That’s why I want to know why groceries are hiding the good stuff. If you want “Fun Size” bags of Milky Ways, forget it. You might find Snickers, but they try to hide them. Instead, they are pushing weird stuff this year. Mounds, malted milk balls, gross eyeball chocolates. Please. We want the holy trinity of Halloween candy: Snickers, Milky Ways, Reese’s. Spare us the Fun Dips, the flavored Tootsie Rolls. (Don’t even get me started on the idea that a “Fun Size” candy is little. To me, Fun Size would be very, very large. But that’s another rant, for another day….)
