My annual announcement: When shopping for Halloween candy, please follow one and only one rule: AVOID HERSHEY'S. They haven't changed their evil ways. Hershey's supports child enslavement in the West Indies - where it gets its chocolate.
Unfortunately, all the sub-par standard candy (M&M's, Milky Way, etc.) is owned by them too. But there are plenty of healthier options (raisins, granola bars, or closing the door and shutting the lights).
On a sweeter note, years ago, I began to write a playful Halloween poem. But my warped brain and lustful sweet tooth penetrated inappropriate terrain. So began my poetic erotica series. Accidentally. Don't blame me. Blame the dark and milky ones that I can't get enough of. Wink.
Enjoy.
Candy porn, yes! Candy corn, never! (The only thing worse than candy corn are those so-called circus peanuts!)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, those circus peanuts> What idiot thought of those? I do like candy corn, but I don't buy it - another Hershey's product.
DeleteI actually did a post about candy corn seven years ago! https://silverfoxlair.blogspot.com/2011/10/davidz-rantz-children-of-corn.html
DeleteFun. I'll check it out. Thanks, Silver.
DeleteI hope you get lots of, as you say, dark and milky treats for Halloween, Robyn!
ReplyDeleteYou're very kind, Debra. I hope so too.
DeleteSuch humble beginnings!
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to Hot Tamales. Of course, they are probably owned by Hershey's as well.
Ha.
DeleteHm, I don't think they're owned by Hershey's, Alex. I'll research that. But I think you're safe.
PS Looks like you're safe, Alex. Hershey's doesn't own them. They don't have chocolate in them, either, so that means you're even safer. Alas, they aren't wrapped. =)
DeleteHappy Halloween, Robyn! Hoping all your chocolate dreams come true. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie. Happy Halloween all month long.
Deletecandy porn and more...oh you and your wicked ways.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner. My niece is getting married Halloween night - that's a howler!
You have a bold, brave niece. That's gonna be a scary, fun wedding!
DeleteJust remember stranger danger and make sure that chocolate is well wrapped before opening.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Pat. I appreciate your consideration for public safety. Smiles.
Deletetricks AND treats - that's how I like it.
ReplyDeleteTwo for one package deals are the best. Right, Wilma?
DeleteCheers.
Didn't know that about Hershey. We went there in August too.
ReplyDeleteI'd been to the CA site before it closed. I was, and still am, very disheartened to learn about them.
DeleteHow do you come up with so many naughty ways to add treats to the tricks?
ReplyDeleteSexual repression. I mean, I simply think about sucking, chewing, and eating...candy, Elizabeth. Naturally.
DeleteHappy pre-Halloween days.
Talk about a Halloween twist! ;) Here to say hello! It's been awhile. :) Hope you have an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteYou're so good about that - keeping in touch with longstanding friends. Thank you, Rosey!
DeleteHow could anyone ever get enough of your sweet candy?
ReplyDeleteAw, Jono. You're a good one.
DeleteThank you.
I don't eat chocolate, so I should be good to go. Do they own Brachs? I do consume many bags of the mellowcreme pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteI believe so, Diane. Sorry.
DeleteI had no clue about Hershey's. wow! Great poem- I hope Halloween brings you tons of chocolate Treats!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Holli.
DeleteHappy Holliween! =)
My candy corns really arouse you, huh?
ReplyDeleteLast night, this spammer left several comments on half the blogs I read, including my own. What a PITA!
ReplyDeleteHaha! How stupid are they? I mean, to tell every blogger they're spamming, essentially, "You are the most brilliant, informative, blah blah blah." For one, and only one, part of their stupidity: They assume all bloggers are out to teach the world high level lessons. Eat my candy corn, idiots.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Silver. You made me chuckle. I needed that.
Mummies gone so slide on in hahaha - controversial! Yet hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs Robyn!
xo
Truly controversial - mummies should not be left out of the fun.
DeleteThank you, my friend. xo
What a wicked girl with candy porn and all... wonder what it is like to trick-or-treat down Pennsylvania Ave?
ReplyDeleteThat would be truly scary, especially on Halloween.
DeletePS For a moment, I thought I had another spammer. Didn't recognize the avatar - very cute.
