For me it’s about ghosts, goblins and witches! I give out full size candy bars at my house.

with the good stuff to brave the cold and wind that usually accompanies the first snow of the season. I’ll post pix as soon as I get my scary stuff out. My favorite holiday and I do it big. 🎃😈🧙🏽?♀️

Just an FYI... I pass out mini bottles of “cheer” to the parents who brave the elements too...

I mean, I think it's amusing that this is something that you look forward to and I totally get the fun size candy

but you do know Hallowe'en is like two months from now, right?

I saw Thanksgiving & xmas stuff in stores last week... capitalism, there's always someone trying to help you let go of your money in their direction.

although I will eat three or four of the bite size and then the saving isn’t saved.

Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and BooBerry. Growing up, we always had the first two in stores year round, and BooBerry was a treat now it's just once a year, which is probably good... I mean the colors of the cereals aren't exactly found in nature.

A couple years ago they re-released Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy but with updated flavors since the originals I guess were horrible (never had them as a kid).

It's got too much of the candy that I wouldn't touch even as a kid. They've got the good stuff, but it's like an afterthought. For some reason, that place came to mind when I saw this thread. It was still worth the trip, however, just for the spectacle of all that candy in one giant store.
