Candy and Eggs

It doesn't take a mathematician to figure this out. Being cheap on Halloween + Kids that want candy + an excuse to cause havoc = one egged house.

Now first of all you probably all want my address so next year you can drive up to my house and enjoy all the candy wonders that I give away on Halloween. I'll be honest with you, although I do share my treats with my friends, I don't really go all out buying crazy stuff to give away on Halloween. Having said that I know what's good and I'm decent enough to give away mini chocolate bars of decent quality. I think that's fair. So this year I went and purchased the required number of treats I figure would work and come Halloween I filled my biggest bowl and was ready to give away candy.

For the most part the night went well. Lots of costumes, little kids freaking out, candy everywhere. Then while giving out some treats Allison came across an interesting discovery. What she found could be considered more horrible than a staple in an apple. (Having said that if you're giving out apples, don't bother putting staples in them because no kids going to eat an apple with a full bag of candy to chose from.) What we came across was a package of Glosset Peanuts, with only one Glosset in it.

I know I could hardly believe it myself, but the proof is in the picture. I should also mention that in this bag we found floating around a piece of chocolate with peanuts in it out of the package. It didn't look like any of the bars either; not that finding an identifiable treat would have been that much better.

I'm not sure why this all happens, I know that they have standards and quality controls but this seemed really odd to me. Cheap Halloween candy is pretty common, you can read my last article to see that, but I don't go that direction, I prefer to get something a little nicer and I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

Maybe they want my house to get egged, maybe that's their little joke that they play on the whole world? Fortunately for me their little plan didn't work, my house stayed egg free and this little package of Glosset horror will never see the light of day. Why do you ask?..

Well I ate it.
