Today is a sad day as Halloween is officially in the books. Now I’m sure most of yall think that I am mourning the passing of another night of costumed hi jinx, but in truth this is a eulogy of Popcorn balls. I was at Wal-Mart, early last month doing what one does at Wal-Mart (Namely trying to return stuff for store credit, you call it a scam, I call it enterprising), when I saw a display for Popcorn balls – a box of 12 for 3 bucks (you just can’t beat that). Now we all know that I’m quite the hard core hooligan, but I swear to you, I was as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas (I believed I might have even went as far is to let out a 2 step skip). Now at first I thought what a stroke of luck… I love popcorn balls and I have successfully located some… score! Upon further review, someone (who will remain nameless for killing my buzz) pointed out that they were “Halloween special edition” popcorn balls, because apparently people only eat popcorn balls during Halloween. I’d almost go as far as to say it’s an outrage that such a delicious snack is only available once a year, but what are ya gonna do? Sad day indeed. So long story short… although I’ve bought several boxes to stock up, the popcorn ball is now on a 12 month hiatus until next Halloween.
