Rock fizz on arch street in old city has all the candy. I spent 17 bucks on it today im not the only one. This is the day people can get together and kind of really geek out about it. Seems like halloween does that for candy. Hammer and salt water taffy down my fat throat i thought of the 2. 7 billion americans will spend on candy this halloween. Cracked open a box of in other words at wal mart im the only one eating trick or treat supp supply. I ate half of it and there were trophies of children. My problem. I was like oh my god i had to hide upstairs and turn my lights off. Candy industry numbers well buy a third avenue billion dollars more candy this year than we did in 2011 just the thought made me woozy. A little sick to my stomach. Maybe it was the taffy.
