...smell my feet! Give me something good to eat!
Halloween is silently approaching, and I need to make my shopping list before they jack up the candy prices.

What are you filling your Halloween candy bags with? Kids aren't the only one Trick or Treating nowadays ;)

I never liked candy as a kid.  I would collect it and it would just sit in a bag for weeks. Eventually I'd give it my sister or my parents.

I would have preferred something like mashed potatoes.  But I guess that would have been logistically impossible.

Mike- Not fresh, but the frozen kind would have been a good one. There was this weird lady from my block who never had candy. Instead she'd just find whatever was in her house and give it away. On different years we got staples, a frozen lean cuisine dinner, a notepad, pens from her doctor's office, and my favorite- catnip.

Even Mars/Hershey/Lindt shit is old...I interned with Lindt while in undergrad, and the first thing they taught us to do was how to read the codes on the back of all commercial brands. The codes; the month, day, year and plant the candy was made.

If half the regular sized crap sitting around Duane Reade's checkout is 18+ months old...you don't even wanna know about your fun-sized treats.
