Each year at this time, I direct you to this posting of mine in which I explain why I've never liked Halloween and why no one really likes candy corn.
Each year, it prompts a batch of mail from sane people who agree with me that Halloween is a bad institution. It also however brings in e-mails from congenital liars who claim they actually eat and enjoy candy corn. Jeez. You people are almost as bad as the fibbers who claim cole slaw is edible.
This Halloween, as with most Halloweens in years past, no adorable little trick-or-treaters will come to my door seeking candy that they shouldn't eat because it's from strangers. Just in case someone does show up however, I've bought treats to hand out — little Halloween-themed bags of pretzels. I bought these because I'm going to wind up eating the treats myself and while I don't eat candy, I do eat pretzels. One time a few years ago, I did this with little boxes of Sun-Maid Raisins and a kid reacted in horror. It was like I didn't like children so I was giving them something semi-healthy. Hey, if I didn't like children, I'd give them candy corn. Or worse, cole slaw.
