A Few Questionable Choices

With just a week left of the spooky season, it seems like a good time to take a look at a few Halloween products that didn't quite live up to our expectations, as well as some that just didn't make any sense in the first place.

Everybody loves Bones Cheetos and looks forward to their return in the fall. Burt discovered the Cinnamon Sugar version this year.

What did Ivy think of this non-cheesy flavor?

Apparently, not much. Guess she'll be sticking with the white cheddar.

Then there was the case of mistaken identity when Kibitz brought home what he thought was a bag of regular Kit Kats done up in Halloween packaging. Unfortunately, it wasn't the regular chocolate bars but a new version covered in green marshmallow flavored gunk. Ugh!

Keeping with the foodie theme, picking up these Jack and Shelly Tiki mugs seemed like a good idea back in August when it was 90 degrees. Right now, when it's barely above freezing, I'd rather be enjoying some hot chocolate than sipping on a Mai Tai while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Sometimes things just don't perform as promised. These creepy bone candles were supposed to drip blood red wax but instead it's a not very scary pink. To me, it would've been better if they hadn't dripped at all! I think I'll save them for Valoween, they might fit in better with that color scheme. 

Moving on to questionable choices, last month I picked up these glow-in-the-dark socks and honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. How did I not realize that socks barely show at all, especially when their worn with shoes and long pants, duh The glowing might be visible if they were worn with shorts and sandals and that's never going to happen, ha! Oh well, they're fun anyway and really light up in the dark, if I ever happen to look at them when I'm in the closet with the lights out.

Then there are those things that seem to make no sense at all. 

Does a mug really need a lid?

Finally we come to the lumbar pillows. Those totally misnamed, overly long, trendy cushions can really only be good for one thing.

Pillow fights. Watch out Burt!

These were the worst choices we have made this year, so far - but there's still a week to go.

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!
