My face to the clerk when I put the two-pound Hersey bar on the conveyer belt:

You should switch to Tony’s. Much better chocolate.
I’m referring to an actual event during my teens. I’ve learned better since.
I am middle aged and went trick or treating with my wife last night. We just walked around a neighborhood we used to live in and said hi to all the neighbors, especially the ones who lived there when we did.
Nonsense. I still go trick or treating with my kid. You just have to step up your costume game.
Setting up to give out candy can be just as much fun. Although I might have overdone it this year. Got lots of leftovers.
I’ve definitely been afraid of that in recent years. Historically I’ve taken it as an opportunity for my own celebration and health be damned, but so much candy has gotten bad enough that I just don’t enjoy it.
And no I can’t afford good candy for hundreds of screaming kids who will never know the difference.
