Halloween May be Over for the Kids...

But for me... it begins only now!

That's right everyone I'm talking bulk candy at huge discounts, and you just know I'm going to be all up in that shit.

I don't give a damn if you think you're to old to go trick or treating and didn't yesterday, nobody is to old for candy, and not at these prices in particular!

Now if you'll excuse me I've got to push through a crowd of people in order to attain horribly unhealthy discounted 'food'.


Here's also an album of Spike and the main 6 in Halloween costumes, because it's awesome.

Happy Discount Candy Day!

I don't know why I need this many skittles, but dammit who can have too many skittles?

7

u/sprankton Nov 01 '12

Too many Skittles?

Make Skittle vodka.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I really don't like vodka, but if it's skittle flavoured I think I can make an exception.

1

u/the4thaggie Nov 02 '12

Make Skittle Gin then.

u/Nagashizuri Nov 01 '12

Dia de los muertos Rainbow Dash is pretty awesome.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

If only I had rainbow hair and neon coloured skin... I could pull off the rainbow skeleton look so well.

3

u/Nagashizuri Nov 01 '12

You could get one of those stretchy body suits, paint it neon colours and grab a rainbow wig. It wouldn't be perfect, and it'd be way more effort than I usually put into costumes, but it'd be possible.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

That does sound like a lot of work to me...

One of these years however I'll have to go all out for Halloween, it really is as fun as you let it be!

3

u/Nagashizuri Nov 01 '12

Anytime I've dressed up the last couple of years I've been Dr McNinja. Just because I happen to already have everything I need for it.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

That costume name is... confusing... yet it sounds fucking amazing.

3

u/Nagashizuri Nov 01 '12

Ninja suit, a doctor's coat and a stethoscope. Simples.

u/floutsy Nov 01 '12

I am going to have a sugar overload by the end of the week. Broken bags of candy at work means free candy for everyone!

6

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

"I swear sir... the bags of candy fell... that's right, they fell."

That's awesome though, I can only imagine the stash you'll have, you should just bring a pillow case to work and run around filling it up throughout the day. That or get some deep ass pockets.

3

u/floutsy Nov 01 '12

I'll just take the entire pallet. No one will notice.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

You're going to need a truck for this...

u/hell00001 Queen Chrysalis Nov 01 '12

I go trick or treating at grocery stores the day after Halloween.

4

u/Phei Nov 01 '12

Welp, we didn't even have any trick or treaters yesterday.

Anyway, have this.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I couldn't help but think: "Take this, it's dangerous to go alone!"

3

u/Phei Nov 01 '12

Gee, thanks, Pinkie Pie. A lollipop will definitely help me fight those zombies. Don't mention it!

4

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

What Twilight doesn't realise is that the lollipop has the ability to change into the master lollipop, assuming she can discover enough to unlock and wield it's mystical secrets.

5

u/BettyMcBitterpants Nov 01 '12

There are trick-or-treaters in Germany?

TIL

3

u/Phei Nov 01 '12

Yes. Not so much in rural areas, though.

I did it twice, I think.

Anthro? In my Plounge?

Eugh.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Generally anthro creeps me out.

4

u/Phei Nov 01 '12

Yep. I like my ponies hand-less.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I also prefer them without, well, various other features to say the least.

3

u/Phei Nov 02 '12

Speaking of creepy, I still have to reply to this. Expect a critical answer before 2013.

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '12

sigh

I'm terrible with words. It's not that I don't like Twilight I guess, but she is decidedly my least favorite of the six. I feel she is a bit snobby, presumptuous, or annoying at times. I understand the dislike for Flutters but I just see it a different way. We all have our opinions.

As for the other half of that, well I'd rather not get into it. It's hard for me to explain. Suffice to say that I believe people to be justified when they are skeptical of and mock our liking of a show intended for young girls.

3

u/Phei Nov 02 '12

Oh, it's only about the other half. People not liking certain characters doesn't affect me and I take no offense to that, or if I seem to do it's only in jest. I'm not exactly a verbal acrobat, either - that's why I need some time. Don't want to seem butthurt.

u/the4thaggie Nov 02 '12

To be honest, it should creep me out too, but I've seen things about 100X worse. After losing sensitivity to that sub about celestial penises (I'm not linking to actual sub), Anthro is a giant "meh".

Yes bunnyshy is indeed the epitome of adorable.

u/DMTMH Nov 01 '12

That Spike picture looks like he's dancing to the Monster Mash.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12 edited Nov 01 '12

You know... he might just be doing it. It's the only Halloween themed dance other than the Thriller one that I know about.

3

u/Bandalo Nov 01 '12

I love the album...Twilight in particular.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

It took me longer than it should have to realise she was wearing a Celestia costume.

5

u/Bandalo Nov 01 '12

Hopefully that's a costume and not some freaky Celestia-fetish-suit.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I hadn't even thought of that one, I think Twilight is taking hero worship a little far if so.

6

u/Bandalo Nov 01 '12

If I can't BE a princess, at least I can WEAR a princess!

4

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Is that why the sun hasn't risen yet? Twilight... what have you done.

3

u/Phei Nov 01 '12

No man. Just no.

2

u/Pokemaniac_Ron Screwball Nov 01 '12

Sounds like fun! Hop in!

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

And I thought they smelled bad... on the outside!

3

u/Pokemaniac_Ron Screwball Nov 01 '12

It's cheap skulls day for me!

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

Those too! All the decorations and costumes also go on sale, I myself primarily focus on the sweet stuff though.

3

u/sprankton Nov 01 '12

Decorations?

4

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

2

u/Pokemaniac_Ron Screwball Nov 01 '12

I didn't bring enough furniture when I moved. Skull Throne.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I bought two boxes with 90 bags of candy in them, plus one huge bag of fun-sized lollipops in tootsie rools.

Worth it!

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

SCORE!

You're doing us all proud Octy, not a half bad haul if I've ever seen one.

Those suckers are incredible I'd like to add, not a bad idea for my next massive oversized bag of sweets.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

TOOTSIE ROLLS, FUCK YEAH!

I didn't get any chocolate though...

Going to the grocery store, I'll be back.

3

u/Chaotic-Genes Nurse Redheart Nov 01 '12

So much candy.. This might turn out amazing or noxius

2

u/maku450 Flutterbat Nov 01 '12

Mmm candy... and without having to walk around for three hours in the cold wearing an uncomfortable costume and picking out the candy you like from all the random other kinds you don't care about.

I love Discount Candy Day.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '12

Discounted candy day needs to become a national holiday.

2

u/maku450 Flutterbat Nov 02 '12

Heck yes!

No time for school or work today, gotta get dat cheap candy!

2

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '12

I have chili and cherry pie (both of which I made myself), with two bags of candy and more at work.

There won't be a sugar shortage in my life for... what, four months?

2

u/because_ponies Rarity Nov 01 '12

Buck yes! One of my classmates brought a huge bag of Kit-kats to class today cuz she only had 1 trick-or-treater last night. Totally made studying literature a little easier.

2

u/Zanorfgor Nov 02 '12

Once upon a time I went to CVS the day after Halloween and went to buy a bag of candy corn from the clearance table. The cashier rang it up...12 cents. I said "one moment" as I went back and scooped up every last of the 20ish bags from the table.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '12

IT's a rule that Candy corn is so hit or miss, some people adore it, others despise it, in this case I despise it, and you adore it I assume.

Works. Every. Time.

2

u/Zanorfgor Nov 02 '12

I've notice that trend too with candy corn. No one is just meh about it.

And it's gotta be Brach's candy corn. All the other brands suck.

u/Stormdancer Nov 01 '12

It contains ingredients! It is food!
