Holidays: Part 2



Q: My child always brings home a nice bag of loot after trick or treating. Is it okay for me to eat some of it? To make sure it’s safe of course.



A: Dive in, Halloween is a special occasion.



Halloween is the night during which the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead is at its thinnest. What does this mean? You are in danger of being attacked by dead people. (Not zombies so much… well it might be zombies) You and your family are in danger, but luckily snack-sized Snickers and Mike and Ike’s are the prophylactics of the spirit world. It’s long been known that candy is used to appease the angry spirits. By eating candy, you not only make them happy but you can repel them. Sort of like vampires and garlic.


Pros: Gobstoppers can be used as weapons if you find yourself under actual zombie attack.


Cons: Those people that hand out raisins or toothbrushes are practically giving ghosts the GPS coordinates of your family.
