Well at least you will fool people into thinking it is new. Christmas and Valentines Day candy is obviously a regift.

You lost everyone there. Silly.


Actually, lower cocoa harvests might be the one thing that makes people sit up and listen about climate change.


Hurricanes, flooding, dying polar bears all okay, but come for our chcocolate and we finally become very alarmed.

You're going to be missing it for a long time, because Trump didn't do a single thing about climate change. Those cocoa harvests suck now, and there is no end in sight.

It's time to switch to non chocolate candy.

This year I bought full size bars from Costco, since we don't have many trick or treaters.

Halloween is racist.
