@NEWSMAX Prices and people realizing commercial candy isn't real chocolate and full of dyes, chemicals and corn syrup, some bugs thrown in. Give kids healthier options.

@NEWSMAX I call B.S.. Sure hasn’t swayed people from going to professional or college sports games, tailgate parties, etc., etc. (Very expensive by the way). Packed stadiums, people still driving their cars. Not to mention all the booze flowing at those games.

@NEWSMAX Thats why you go to these overstock, or discontinued stores like Ollie's or Big Lots and look for candy which is much cheaper
Just carefully look at the bag for any defects and the sell by dates and you'll be fine.

@NEWSMAX And the evil that surrounds us all. I gave away my Halloween decor and won't be celebrating the demonic nature it as taken. But I'm going all out for Christmas. And starting it early this year!
