Halloween Candy
I find that the stuff in the black and orange wrappers (long a punch line) is not that bad.
Candy corn, overrated? Waxy? discuss.
Chocolate is still the high runner in this office, whereas laffy taffy will still be around next summer.
More than once as a child I got .07 cents. I don't know how they arrived at this figure, but I thought if every house would agree to do this a kid could theoretically become a millionaire over the course of several years of intense trick or treating. But my childhood theory doesn't hold water, you would have to hit 14,285,714 houses, that's 1,428,571 in each of the ten prime trick or treating years. You'd have to subcontract labor, and that would never do. Fuzzy math for ten year olds.
