Trick
There is nothing 'fun' about fun-sized candy bars which are priced to sell and staring me in the face whenever I enter a convenience store. Large bags mixed with Snickers, Three Musketeers, Butterfingers and more are saying 'buy me.'. And with these recessionary times it only makes sense to stock up for self and any potential Trick or Treaters. My friend Miranda purchases her candy on the today, on Halloween because she just can't stand to have it in the house as it's too much 'fun' to eat. I purchase candy I have no desire to eat, which means no chocolate. I've bags of Mine n Ikes, Mary Jane's and Fun Dip. No little goblin will turn their nose up to this stuff and I won't eat it because it's not my preference. If I had a bowl of fun-sized M&M's in the house they would last maybe two days and I'd feel terribly guilty when I was staring at the empty bowl they were placed it. Then I'd convince myself that I needed to run ten miles to burn off all that sugar. And have you tried the Candy Corn M&M's, an exclusive item sold only at Target? Wow, they are worth the work out. I do hide the Fun Dip from my kids, this stuff is pure colored sugar. Kids on sugar equals a crazed parent. I try to keep most sugar consumption to daytime hours when there's a chance of working it out of your system easier by doing homework and chores. Yes that's it homework and chores. Maybe Halloween should happen earlier in the day so our sugared kids can do homework and chores after consuming massive amounts of their sweet 'loot'. If I'm supplying the costume and candy it's only right, right?
