While grocery shopping yesterday

I came upon a display of Halloween candy.

Can't remember ever seeing the stores putting it out in July!

and as it is Summer, the candy will do better on the sales floor in the air conditioning. Not all backrooms have a/c and that can be a little tough on the chocolates.

We love having candy around. I'd like to see chocolate covered cherries, Peeps and Cadbury Eggs in July, and what's wrong with pining for candy corn and peanut brittle in mid summer?

And any little marshmallow-filled, chocolate covered animal. (Bunnies are my favorite).

I just got home from the store an hour ago and while there I noticed all these displays for candy. There was candy on sale everywhere. I didn't notice any references to Halloween, just lots of candy. Couldn't figure it out, and forgot about it til reading this thread. What's going on?
