Halloween candy displays have arrived even earlier this year. The Covid-19 pandemic has candy manufacturers like Hershey hedging their bets for what is typically their biggest season. https://t.co/KS7G4lKit9

aren't those candies always around lol

[ohwutevernvm]

There’s bulks of em around! Even at 99 cents stores lol

It's always on the shelves this time of year though.

Anyway, I'm all about fun size Snickers, Reese's peanut butter cups, and Kit Kats. However I really wish there was an alternative to Kit Kats cause Nestle is evil. They always pull me back in with their Halloween themed wrappers.

I love the way they phoned in kit-kat.

Also once again, Americans have the best candy varieties. I remember shopping at Target last year and they had a mix of chocolate bars that were all peanut butter based and another one was all caramel based.

'Candy variety' and you're not following up with 'Japan'? 😂

[my_moloko]

lol Japan always has a bunch of flavours I'm not interested in. Honestly my main interest in American candy is the amount of peanut butter chocolate bars they have. Like yes please give me a peanut butter Twix.

[senshicalico]

same. i always eat way less candy in japan because the chocolate (outside of the koalas lmao) just does not jive with me. I also hate sour shit and that's what half the selection is lol.

on the flip side when i do find something i like it's not outrageously sweet like candy here in 'murica. it's always a shock to my system when i move back and get a freakin' hershey bar, lol.

I'll still eat Halloween candy and watch scary movies but yeah, Halloween is #cancelled. I think most holidays will be canceled at least in my family they are. We kept 4th of July to 6 people and Thanksgiving, Xmas will probably be the same.

its gonna be a weird and interesting holiday season

[spoil]

I have a feeling people are not gonna be able to not having a traditional Christmas though, my heart goes out to retail workers. It's hard enough working during a regular holiday season now you have to worry about possibly getting sick because so many people are going to shop anyways.

[jarellano89]

True. Im sure the corporations are gonna put their schedules in overdrive, moreso than usual. Hopefully they close everything down on Christmas like how they're doing with Thanksgiving. Also how is black Friday even gonna work? That's gonna be a fuckin mess.

YES GIVE ME All THE CANDY CORN AND MELLOWCREME PUMPKINS.

[darklitplanet]

mellowcreme pumpkins are my ultimate halloween-time vice lmao...mixed with some peanuts or pretzels.....so good

[bitchsdangerous]

Dollar Tree near me had mellow creme pumpkins out along with candy corn two weeks before the end of July!

I do loooove the pumpkin mellow creme, but they had my all time favorite Werthers Green Apple Caramels. I need more bags + the pumpkins this time.
