Sweet deal

Last year we talked about the movement to change the date of Halloween, but it looks like it will be held on October 31 again this year, even though the meteorologists are calling for that day (Thursday) to be rainy and poor weather for door-to-door candy gathering.  That's a shame.

But even if you or the kids can't go traipsing around the neighborhood dressed as Awkwafina or Freddie Mercury, you can have a free Snickers bar.

You see, the people are Snickers were involved in the effort to change the date of Halloween for obvious reasons, but even though they fell short of that goal, which carried with it the promise to reward us all with a free candy bar, they are still going to hand out candy this way:  Just go to OneMillionSnickers.com to sign up for a gift card good for one bag of Snickers Fun Size bars (worth $3.90).

Let me know if it works!

Party City was also involved in this effort, but they had promised no reward. As someone with a lot more time on his hands than brains, I hereby offer this idea to the good partiers at P. City:  offer everyone a free hit of helium!

If you get one, please call me and leave me an extremely high-pitched voicemail!
