Boy: Halloween is coming! Halloween is a week from Monday! Halloween is coming! Frazz: Izzy's folks might want to reconsider when they buy their trick-or-treat candy.
Bald boy: No, you have to start early because it disappears!
That sugar rush shows up anyplace, doesn’t it…maybe many parents just aren’t paying attention when their kids spazz out after a handful of candy…probably will be the last to know when the kid’s doing drugs, too…
“You have to start early because it disappears” is a cause-effect fallacy. Candy disappearing early is the effect of buying candy early, not the cause. And we don’t want to mix up candy disappearing athome with candy disappearing instores, either.
Wolf Emperor.. right. It’s self-delusion, just like crumbs having fewer calories than a whole piece of cake… so you eat the piece one crumb at a time… ;o)

it certainly disappears around this house, every year we buy a few bags about a week before… and then we have to go buy more the night before

Buying eight times as much candy as the trick-or-treaters ever get, is what’s keeping the economy from going belly-up altogether.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. [urp]

(The fallacious statement is likely just an excuse just to eat more candy.)

Dang. I’ll have to watch Monday Night Football in a bar, then, so the trick or treaters are in bed by the time I get home.

I tried to buy Halloween candy when we went to the grocery store today. Hubby said NO. Darn, he’s onto me.
