Hey GenX, remember these? It was kind of a jackpot. I mean, it was special to get one of these, right? I love Halloween-themed candy or Hostess Halloween-themed cakes. So much fun. Do you remember these?

Halloween Calculations: I bought 700 pieces of candy! I usually get 300 trick or treaters. I can give 2 pieces to each kid! I will eat 150 pieces myself. I might need more candy!

Coming tomorrow morning, 6AM! OOO OOO OOO, you’ll love it. It’s fun. It’s funny. Sign up so you don’t miss it! 10 Greatest Movie Twist Endings That Screwed Up GenX! Bonus content this week. I hope you like it!

Halloween Scary Thoughts Before Bed: If you wake up tonight and see someone standing in the corner, whatever you do, don't close your eyes. It gets closer every time you blink.

Halloween Scary Thoughts Before Bed: If you hear someone calling your name from outside your bedroom window tonight, remember, that's exactly what the vampires did in Salem's Lot.

Halloween Scary Thoughts Before Bed: If you hear scratching under your bed tonight, just remember, that’s how the real story behind The Exorcist started.

Where do you stand on these? Did you eat them when they ended up in your trick-or-treat bag? Would you hand them out to children this year? Would that be considered punishment? Yeah, I like them, but they’re a poor substitute for a snack size Snickers. You’re not counting these a candy are you? 👀👀👀

Halloween aphorism: I give myself permission to check behind the shower curtain every time I go into the bathroom, night or day, chance or no chance of anyone being there.

Halloween aphorism: As a grown adult, I give myself permission, at the end of the night, to run my ass up the stairs out of the darkness after I turn the lights out on my way to bed.

Do people even interact on Bluesky? I scroll past 100s of accounts and postings, and the accounts have 5-10,000 followers and they are getting 1-3 likes. I thought it was just because I took a lot of time off, but it seems like it's the norm.

This candy seems to have said something bad about your mother? Other than circus peanuts, which are obviously not candy at all, these seem to be the most hated candies. Anyone brave enough to like them? Other hated candies? Happy Halloween.

Halloween Aphorism: Even though I’m grown, I am 100% allowed to be afraid of crossing a black cat's path. Yes, I even turn my car around to avoid it. No, I’m not kidding.

I found individually wrapped circus peanuts! In a 5 lb bag! What do you think of giving them out for trick or treat? Doesn't Gen Alpha need to experience these?
