How did you come upon this combination?

I have one point of datum and one observation: my almost-nine year old LOVES candy corn, like, would eat a whole bowl if I let them; and why aren’t we hectoring Gen Z over their pick of Hershey’s? We’re going to argue about Snickers and not the blandest chocolate that still has a brand name? I’m aghast. Hershey’s is…

Oh no, help, I think I’m the target audience for this and I want it.

Thank you for your condolences!

His nice, hardwork-and-luck image was a little ruined for me when one of his first pieces of advice for people in his COVID-recovery IG video was “If you’re going to see loved ones, get a test the day before.” My dude, that is a Rich Person Solution. On the bright side, he did eventually get around to recommending…

During this time, my partner and I were SUPER into Franklin & Bash on TNT. It was mostly pretty dumb, but the mains were having a real fun time and I loved the supporting cast.

We got to know our neighbor once. He was super friendly! Helped us move in! We hung out all the time, had drinks, went on double dates! We met each other’s families! And a couple of years later, he was convicted on child pornography and abuse charges!
