The candyman can’t
Hallowe’en is a peculiar American holiday. Come the evening, parents let their kids loose on their neighbours, dressed up in scary, silly or cute costumes. Looking all gothic, they proceed to knock on doors to ask for candy. Most adults indulge them, and stock up on sweets for the occasion.
But what if you stock up, and nobody came? What if the kids had a more reliable source for their sweeties and just went to their regular sugar man? To counter the costly impact of competition, Baltimore has issued “no candy” signs to known sex offenders. I kid you not.
