Gothamist HQ inexplicably only has vibrator "candy" bars
Yes, finally someone exposes the office candy conspiracy. One assistant editor at Golf Digest tells CityRoom that around Halloween time, “I can’t even make a trip to the water cooler or to the restroom without passing a bowlful of fun-size chocolate favorites."
But where did these magical little candy bars originate? You may have previously thought they were from secret elves or Oompa Loompas, but that is wrong. CityRoom cracks the candy case wide open, reporting back that "Much of the office candy, we’ve been told, comes from parents siphoning off some of their children’s Saturday bounty. Other candy is simply left over after the trick-or-treaters have passed through. Storms on Saturday night in New York City may have depressed trick-or-treating traffic, leading to even more leftover candy." So now you know! It's scary to contemplate who'll break stories like this once the Times makes cuts to its newsroom.

This explains why my No.2's are more pungent than usual. Talk about the Hershey squirts! Green apple splatters all around!
that's hysterical!
Your pencils smell?
ugh, everyone already knew this. and this article could have been written in 2 sentences.
i have an entire bag of butterfingers, i'm bringing in tomorrow. so much for all those diets! mwah! ha ha ha!
Rrrrreally? you wasted more time typing this article than i did reading it.
but the article doesn't address where in the office i can leave all my razorblade apples.
Did you know the Metro Desk of the NYTimes has more than 60 full time reporters? I think about that a lot when I hear people bitching about the death of journalism and how American democracy is going to be screwed if the Times goes bankrupt.
And then I read articles like this, and I think to myself, you know, maybe they could get by on only 50 reporters- or 25 reporters. Sure, we might get less Halloween candy stories, but we'd find ways to get that kind of content from other venues, like wheredoescandycomefrom.com, or whatever. At the very least, I'd like to see them make some of these cuts before going to Congress and begging for a bailout.
Latest Wall St. rumor: Google is interested in buying the NYT.
I've put on like 5 pounds since Saturday just eating the shit candy at home that we won't let our 4-year-old eat.
It's really good taste, mind blowing.
