Halloween Overload

[bjarvis]

A few days ago, Kent agreed we should arm ourselves appropriately with candy should the neighbourhood kids come trick-or-treating. What harm could it do?

When I was out shopping on Sunday, I bought a couple of bags of little Kit-Kat bars as they're something I always looked forward to when I was a kid. And I tossed in some M&Ms for variety. And then some Three Musketeers as Kent likes them. And things kinda got out of hand from there.

I was a good boy: I didn't touch the stash before Halloween. Not much, anyway.

And not a soul came to our door. Nada. We have 15 lbs of freakin' Halloween mini candy bars to give away and not a kid approached our house. Now I have to eat the entire basket of goodies myself.

BURN IN HELL YOU LITTLE TWERPS!

Kent is of the same mind as you: buy crap so we won't be tempted to nip into the inventory prior to Halloween, or cleaning up the leftovers after. I'm of the utilitarian mindset though that we should get something we like so that we won't be wasting anything left over. The snag is the quantity of leftovers at the moment. Even my office mates are sick of candy currently.

in theory, I'm with you and not kent on this one. But being diabetic is NOT fun at this time of year. (sigh)

as to "sick of candy" -- the shelf life of kitkats and similar munchies is considerably longer than post-halloween-candy-fatigue. Friday of next week - chocolate appetites will be back up to normal levels.
