Author enjoys a bowl of leftover candy corn at Thanksgiving

Standing in line at Gelson’s last week, I spotted waxlips and chocolate marshmallow pumpkins!  Sadly, the wax lips were sans fangs, so I declined purchasing.  I immediately IM’d allhallowsteve who told me that Target’s Halloween decorations were already up.

The saddest part? An elderly gentleman behind me in line watching me as I pondered the candy.

“It’s Halloween candy!”

“When is Halloween?  The end of September?”

“No, the end of October.”

“Oh, when I was young, I always remembered these things.”

That made me sad.  I tried to make him feel better by saying something about the lack of seasons and how easy it was to forget, but I don’t think it helped.

Any other candy spottings?  Let us know!
