No better way to start the week than by going back and watching a few of these

Since Amazon is thinking of having some fun (obviously an oxymoron) and the banned Lighten Up posts were brought up my ADHD mind had to scroll through and find some oldies –

I have no idea where else to post this – maybe we need an “Amazon Idiocracy” page – but I just got this today. Maybe it’s intended for 2025??
Even my (rather) strange mind simply can NOT make this stuff up.

Went to the grocery store today to buy some more candy for Halloween (got Reese’s at Costco, but want something with no chocolate or peanuts).
Got there just in time!

Still scrolling through the dead “Lighten Up” files and finding some gems (bear in mind my sense of humor can best be described as 'different/weird/disturbing depending on the day). –

When there are not enough, “Lighten Up,” posts in a day, it might be prudent to revive some older ones, particularly it they are seasonal.

Those Cadbury snow balls (and every season they come out) are my crack! I am so addicted to them!

You still give out Halloween candy?
Our building gives out a list of Haloween candy giving apartments, and provides signs for the doors of apartments welcoming trick or treaters. Our building tries to discourage those who do not live in our building (we are 600+ apartments) from trick or treating here, but it mostly does not work.
I gave out candy for a few years, until our son was of an inappropriate age to go around to collect candy from our fellow apartment dwellers.
When he used to collect so much candy that it was inexcusable, I gave it out to other kids who showed up at our door and took the rest to the office where I used to work, and put it on the receptionist’s desk, making it available to all of my former co-workers.

We’re in the 'burbs, so get a few door-to-door kids. Not a good enough area that we get the imports coming in, and it’s only a block or so to the eruv, so none of the kids from there go out.
We tend to get anywhere from 5 to maybe 25 kids come by, usually in just a few groups.
The weird part to me, compared to when I was a kid, is that trick-or-treat starts about 3:00, and it’s mostly over by the time it gets dark. When I was a kid, we went out after dinner.
And since we tend to always have Reese’s on hand (one of the few candies with no corn, so Nisha can eat), not a problem having a couple of bags of it. In fact, I’ll check the store on Friday to see if there is any left that is marked down.

I’ll also mention that another thing that blew my mind was when I worked in a liquor store (yes, a LIQUOR store) in Manhattan the number of trick-or-treaters that would come by. I think it was something like 8 cases of blow-pops or something similar that we would go through. Odd enough to go to a store for ToT, but for little kids (and some not so little) to go to a liquor store just shocked my southern sensibilities.

But… but… but WHY ?
Other than candy corn, which I feel kind of guilty about liking (sugar and food coloring), it doesn’t even count without chocolate.

And thank you to the original posters from whom I stole those. (Sorry, I do not remember who to credit)
