A Halloween Suggestion For Those Who Hate Children…

Several people — including some I thought were my friends — have sent me info on a new Frankenstein's Monster of a candy from the Brach's company. I shall quote from that company's website…

NEW to store shelves: A full course meal presented in a unique mix of candy corn flavors. BRACH'S Turkey Dinner includes all of the traditional Thanksgiving favorites. From roasted turkey, green beans and stuffing to ginger glazed carrots, cranberry sauce and sweet potato pie. Flavors include Green Beans, Roasted Turkey, Cranberry Sauce, Ginger Glazed Carrot, Sweet Potato Pie & Stuffing.

It has been a long time since I ate candy corn and instantly wised-up to the fact that it tasted like neither candy nor corn. Given that it can't taste like what it's named for, I have a hard time imagining it ever tasting like roast turkey, glazed carrots, cranberry sauce, etc. But if you want to try it, go ahead. Don't let me stop you. Just understand that everyone you know will assume you're also one of those people who injected themselves with Lysol or bleach when Trump suggested that might be a cure for the coronavirus.
