Late Night Skittles

Cool girls from the Bronx know that the only acceptable late night candy is Skittles. They really don't get any cooler than this. No fake ID required.

Team Hulk or Team Frankenstein

It's so hard to decide if I like Edward or Jacob more. What a tough decision.

I spotted these exceptionally collectible boxes of sugar-filled Twilight: New Moon Sweethearts candies at Duane Reade. Totally guaranteed to rot your teeth and make you even more brain dead than you already thought you were.

Here Comes Halloween

Can you believe it's already September? I have to remember to change the calendar to the new month. I always seem to forget for a few days and I think it's bad luck if you don't change the calendar right away.

It's amazing how quickly the weather dropped a few degrees. I've been going for bike rides in Central Park every day and you can feel the weather changing ever so slightly. Of course, Indian Summer (my favorite season) will be coming along soon enough. It looked like a full moon today when I was riding in the park which would probably explain my incredibly odd day, but I looked it up and the full moon isn't until Friday.

Like many things in life, such as crazy New York City girls, cell phone bills and dry cleaners, you can never really figure out the weather so I shouldn't even bother. However, one thing you can predict is that as soon as September hits, the Halloween marketers will be out in full force. I'm not always a huge fan of Reese's, but I've got to give them credit for getting these new packages out right away. Obviously they were anxious to get them into stores all summer. Halloween is the biggest candy selling time of the year next to Easter.

Delickoricious?

C'mon, surely they could have come up with a better way to describe the new candy Kazoozles than "Delickoricious?"

Did they consider blowjoberific?

I gotta admit that the thought of chewy ropes sounds pretty incredible. Ok, actually they are lemon ropes with cherry filling. And Pink Lemonade? Lemon + Cherry = Pink Lemonade. Color me confused.

Goblins & Ghouls

Halloween is coming. The supermarkets in NYC are selling colorful pumpkins. I've never seen them give pumpkins hair before. This particular store has all sorts of candy from around the world at the cash registers. I never buy it, but these penguin packages (no idea what is in them) look intriguing.
