We're already seeing Halloween candy in the stores, it's still summer! I guess by Labor Day, we'll start seeing Xmas items. Every year, they knock the sales of holiday merchandise back further and further. The way it's going, pretty soon Easter stuff will start showing up in October or November!
Should just keep it all out year round. Maybe we would finally become desensitized to it. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I was seeing the super packs of Halloween candy in July when I went to Costco. I did not hesitate to pick some up for the perfect munchie snack
So gross. This country is filled with junk. So much junk food. It's time the government does something about it and Michelle Obama making bad school lunches worse is not the answer.
I don't even like candy anymore. Well, I hardly eat it. I can't do all that sugar. I feel terrible afterwards. Amazing as a little kid I could eat the whole bag like nothing. If I want a snack then a lot of times I'll eat peanuts, a chewy bar, a piece of fruit, or fruit leather (similar to fruit snacks but made from real fruit and not just some gummy garbage) I do like bags of chips but don't get them too too often. I like eating the Baked Lays..which are a little better for you but I just like them better anyway.
Same here dude, I stay away from all that junk too. Except I distinctly remember feeling bad as a little kid after eating too much junk then. Now, it's more of a mental thing for me to stay away from all that as much as it is how bad it makes me feel after.
Halloween candy? Please, here in the UK we already have Christmas cards out in the shops. It gets earlier every year!!
I don't remember if I ever did it but one of the all time worst Halloween party game was "Bobbing for Apples", in which kids would have to try to catch an apple in their teeth from a basin of water. The unsanitary nature of this game aside, I simply did not find apples appealing enough to partake in this activity. Pin the Tail on the Donkey sucked, as well.
Its just went crazy the world. Our hunger as consumers is out of control, and you cant blame the companies really. After all if silly cunts are going to buy this crap then they are tge cause. I love xmas everything about it, but every year the stores and tv spoil it a little every year with all tge commercialism. Either that or im getting old lol This thread got me thinking, I havent had any chocolate in ages guess you do lose interest in all that shit jubk food. I eat a lot of fruit though, have done since was little Sent from my SM-T210 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
shiiet, im loookin to stock up for munchies. cant go to costco stoned though, waaay to easy to overbuy. some of those food items are so big, makes me feel like a kid again holding that big ass bag of chips or cookies haha.
All the pumpkin stuff is out too. Like Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin creamer, pumpkin bread. Did we even have a summer this year??
We have just starting getting in christmas stock at the supermarket that I work at. I agree it is getting earlier and earlier.
I was saying this myself when I was at Wal-Mart the other day. It's crazy that this country only cares about "sales sales sales" and forgetting the true spirit of a holiday and selling it when the time is near. It kind of ruins the anticipation/build up of said holiday since it's already around us so early.
