In the spirit of Halloween... oh wait- that has already passed. I should know since it's early November and EVERY SINGLE STORE on the planet already has Christmas stuff out. Not that I mind- I love Kris-mas...but we still have another holiday in the horizon. But go figure that is not the point of this post.
The point is there is some STRANGE~ WACKY~ZANY~and downright koo koo candy out there y'all! I guess I've never really paid attention to candy that wasn't peanut buttery/chocolatey or peeps (I know! I know! ewww) OR to product packaging. {{Which is strange since I used to work for a company with the #1 recognizable brand in the world.}} Since my uber foxy husband is a packaging guru- I've started to notice. So today I noticed. Two very disturbing packages. First up: Jungle ropes. Marshmallow. Jungle. Ropes. What about that doesn't sound delicious? Not only are they individually wrapped- but there is also a KISSING MONKEY ON THE PACKAGE. Hmmmm...

Next up: Bumble beans. 41 flavors of bumbly-beany goodness. I mean... who buys bumble beans? Doesn't it make you think - since there is a BEE on the package- that this is something dangerous? Now before you get on your "don't eat sugar/glucose/fructose/baby-toes" high horse- that is also not the point of this. The point is this: aren't bees mean? Why on earth would you want to eat a mean bean?
So besides the fact that my husband just makes me an all around better person- he also has taught me to look for these packaging faux pas. That being said- I'm off to start the weekend with my monkey-men. Have a great night faithful fans! Beware of the bumble beans (and bees!)
