Halloween Warning: Put The Peanut Butter Away Gramps

I was shopping tonight and I went down the Halloween candy aisle. Mixed in with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Rolos, Skittles, Milky Way bars and all of the other high quality candy I saw the one thing that sucks about Halloween ... peanut butter kisses.

I mean really ... why do they still make this crap? The only people who ever buy it are those who are over the age of 80 who want to torment children for coming to their house and knocking on their door, or those who actually like it and know that there will be leftovers since no one born after 1930 wants to come within five feet of this stuff.

Every year, Mrs. RoadRage and I stock the candy bowl with Three Musketeer bars, M&M packs and other candy that kids want. And, as we get near All Hallows' Eve again, I plead with the Greatest Generation to move out of the 1950s and start buying candy that you can actually squeeze and won't break a window if you throw it at it. Keep the peanut butter kisses in the pantry hand out a tootsie roll, or just turn in for the night.

But don't throw the baby out with the bath water...keep the "Bit-o-Honey" around.

No ... Bit-o-Honey's have to go, too. If it doesn't hurt your health, it's not worth eating on Halloween.
