I can think of a lot of ways to burn off a fun-size Milkyway that are lots more fun than the candy bar.

I like Halloween because I like giving candy to children and this is the only day I can do it without people thinking I'm some sort of pervert.

From the looks of it tonight, I'll be carrying a Tractor Trailer. (I give one, I eat two)
I also have a case of regular size Milky Ways...for the older kids.

...I bought the absolute worst candy I could find this year; green apple/caramel lollipops and candy corn taffy. Sorry kids, but at least I won't be tempted!

We have a long entry and it takes a minute for me to get there! It's probably 20 feet long.
