Ridiculousness!!!

Ok, I love my new phone and all it's capabilities, but this is the first time I was motivated to take a picture of something in the grocery store.

Ridiculousness!

ADVENT CALENDARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, the type with the little windows where candy goes! On sale, near the checkout line in the commissary. And yes, that was during the grocery run this morning, which (last I checked) was Columbus Day in mid-October.

What the heck is Christmas candy doing in the store!?!?

The only time seasonal goodies should be brought out early is for Easter, because Cadbury eggs are not available other times of year. All other seasonal candy is the same as normal, but colored specially for the holidays (Halloween M&Ms for example). There is no need for Halloween candy in mid-August, and there is no need for Christmas candy in mid-October. Seriously, who buys it? It's not still going to be good when December rolls around, and where are you going to put it for a month and a half before you start using it?

Just rubs me the wrong way...
