What does this have to do with the post

I'm talking about how candy is mostly eaten in December, not November

I don’t think that’s true, candy canes are not nearly as popular as Halloween candy. Who even eats candy canes really?

What the fuck is "Halloween Candy"? Is that a candy cane scythe, or something?
In Australia, we don't have any special lollies or chocolates for Halloween, other than Halloween style packaging or gummy eye balls.

Halloween candy is like 99% of the candy in stores but packaged in small containers to hand to kids. It’s by far the most popular time In the US to eat candy. It’s not specifically “Halloween candy”, every candy is Halloween candy, right now is just when we in the us eat it most

Another reason I don't want to go to the US. From the sounds of it, your lolly selection is just a bunch of misshapen candy canes that you refer to collectively as "candy". Do you guys not have chocolates, sucker lollies, or gummies? What about lollipops?
Clutch_papi t1_iuhbth1 wrote
We have all of that and much more haha😂 wtf are misshapen candy canes? No one eats or likes candy canes here. We like chocolate bars, hard candy, gummies, etc.
Golett03 t1_iuhbwil wrote
But you don't hand chocolate or gummies out on Halloween?

Idk who you’ve been talking to but you’ve got the wrong idea. America is known for its “unhealthiness” and sugar. We definitely have a good candy selection
Clutch_papi t1_iuhbyqz wrote
Yes we do, that’s primary what we hand out.

You literally just said that you don't like "candy".

But you said you hand out candy. Gummies are lollies and chocolate is chocolate
Clutch_papi t1_iuhc9ji wrote
In the US, any sweet is considered candy. “Lollies”, lollipops, gummies, chocolates, suckers, hard candy, licorice it’s all called candy no matter what type.

I said no one likes “candy canes”. You know the peppermint hard candy? They are mainly just for decoration.

Lmao. This comment chain reads like this guy is an alien attempting to understand the human concept of candy.
Golett03 t1_iuhiqaq wrote
Oh, so it's like you guys calling g-strings "thongs", thinking that Christmas is in winter and not being able to measure shit?
Golett03 t1_iuhiu1s wrote
Yeah, today I learned that there's another thing Americans get wrong.

Dude, you’ve been pretty hostile from the start over this candy nonsense. What’s your deal?
Golett03 t1_iuhj6ke wrote
Until my final 2 comments, I was just asking questions.
Ok-Software-1902 OP t1_iuhz7u2 wrote
Bro the post says “Halloween candy”
Golett03 t1_iuhzq8j wrote
And, if you read your comments, the only thing called "candy" that I knew of was "candy canes".
