Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 01, 2021

Hah! Fortunately for me, I’ve never had that temptation.

Chips and cheesies, that’s another matter.

I have Almond Joy and chocolate caramels…and I live in a retirement community where there are no children. What?

Ours make it to Halloween. We have no Trick or Treat here. Our development has a Trunk or Treat instead.

I always have a belly ache the day after halloween.

Ha! October first and you’re just buying your first bag… amateur! My husband begins in August!!

Aunty is just checking to make sure the candy is safe to eat. That’s all….

Scary!

Halloween is only starting to be “celebrated” in some Indian cities now, esp. by Indians who have returned from stays in the US. Doesn’t excite me much, nor my kids…

We have the opposite situation. We stock up. We have very few trick or treaters, so we have a lot left over. We put these into sandwich sized zip lock bags and throw them in the freezer.

We’ll pull one out and put it in the fridge’ about once every other week. We’re usually done with them about St. Patrick’s Day.

So, Aunty, didja see Ralph Drabble in line, too??

You waited until October to buy Halloween candy that won’t make it?

Aunty probably showers in a candy corn storm!

Got your costume dialed in already too….Oh…

We buy a bag of stuff that WE like since we don’t get many callers (too far removed from the main road, which is also a paved cowpath).

Costco sells 5 lb bags of chocolate.

Halloween candy went up for sale a month ago or more…

same here

I did that last week.

Mine ran out about a week ago.

We just DON’T turn the light on. That way no kids. That’s how it runs in our small town.

halloween overtook valentine’s in popularity here a few years back. “here” being japan…

At my house, I used to end up with about 2/3s of the candy I bought left After Halloween.

I gave very Generously. I just have a very low sales resistance when it comes to Chocolate.

It could be even Worse at my current house because I haven’t seen a single “Trick or Treater” in about 10 years. I live near one of those churches that has campaigned for years to Kill Halloween. Plus, there are very few kids in the neighborhood. Oddly enough, about half the neighbors put up Halloween decorations every year. The ones Without Kids, as far as I can tell. If the kids around here go Trick or Treating, I suspect they go to another neighborhood with more & better candy.
