According to a new survey, Snickers are the most popular Halloween candy to receive and give away this holiday season. That’s a heaping load of B-S! Everybody knows that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the true champion of Halloween.
I better check my sources. This same survey also says that:
“86% of Americans decorate their homes at Halloween.”
and
“Of the pumpkins marketed domestically, 99% of them are used as Jack-o-lanterns at Halloween.”
Now the second fact, simply can’t be true. What about canned pumpkin pie for Thanskgiving? Does that just magically appear nowadays? Do we ship all the canned pumpkin pie mix in from a the far off land of Pumpkinonia?
I would believe that 86% of households with kids might decorate, but the last look down my block at Halloween, there were more dark houses than ones with ghosts in the lawn.
Of course I should take this all with a grain of salt. The survey also says: There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with “orange” Eminem on 60 Minutes proved me wrong. Forward to 5:15 in the interview and enjoy the laugh.
