What would Halloween be without candy? Would we still dress up? Would we cancel Halloween?
And since Halloween is all about candy, why isn't there a holiday revolving around ice cream or
Little Debbie snacks? I don't know about you but I think Star Crunches and Cosmic Brownies are just as good as candy if not better. And isn't Halloween a nightmare for people with braces? They can't have most of the sweets that we receive on Halloween and the same for diabetics. For them, Halloween must be a reminder of their limitations rather than a cause for celebration. And back to my original question: What would Halloween be without candy? Would dressing up alone be good enough reason to have Halloween?
I speculate it would be meaningless without candy- we would all be a bunch of weirdos. And if we substituted candy, it just wouldn't be the same. The traditional/ normal Halloween gives us childhood nostalgia. And besides, it would feel weird collecting Fudge Rounds and Marshmallow Treats on Halloween night. Halloween can be done only one way- going door to door in a ridiculous costume collecting candy.
So without candy, Halloween wouldn't be Halloween- it would be a new holiday or a cheap substitute.
So devour candy, eat the delicious steps to diabetes- it is your duty as an American.
