You’ve just taken your kids trick-or-treating, but, as your sore feet finally get to rest, you’re left with a powerful craving for sweets. If you don’t enjoy the cheaper, classic candies from your child’s Halloween haul, then it’s time for the adults to treat themselves. Here are a few trendy candies that you’ll love, and you don’t have to wait for Halloween to enjoy them either! Sneaky Stardust Most sour candies are named to inspire fear, but Sneaky Stardust is an adorable name for this sweet and sour gum powder candy! What is gum powder, you ask? With an initial sweet texture almost like Pixie Dust, this candy powder turns into gum in your mouth! It’s definitely a magic trick, hence the name Sneaky Stardust.
You’ll love the packaging of this candy just as much, though. It comes in brightly colored, resealable jugs that almost look like sweet tea jugs. You’ll find three sour flavors available on the market: Sour Blue Raspberry, Sour Green Apple, and Sour Strawberry. Kidsmania Soda Can Fizzy Candy Do you remember the fizzy candies from the 1990s and early 2000s? If you want a nostalgic flashback, you don’t need a time machine. Not dissimilar to a six-pack of soda, Soda Can Fizzy Candy comes in a miniature six-pack of plastic cans with four different flavors: Lemon-Lime Sprint, Loca Cola, Grape Splash, and Orange Crash. You’ll love just how adorably fun-size these

They should be relatively easy to find at a local Walmart or you can buy it in bulk on The Wholesale Candy Store ($12) or Amazon ($18). If your kids like them, you could even use these as an easy reward for chores or good behavior. DinDon Fruity’s Ju-C Jelly Fruit Candy These jelly-bursting candies sparked a TikTok craze in 2021! Although they’re a bit pricey, many people were excited by the interesting, but tricky, way that you eat this unique treat. Basically, the candy is fruit jelly set in a thin plastic, fruit-shaped mold, and you have to bite into the candy in order to break the plastic and burst the jelly into your mouth. Some say the most successful way of eating Ju-C Jelly Fruit is by biting as far into the fruit as you can, or pressing near the long end of

Eat beforehand and stay hydrated. Be sure to eat before setting out into the maze and don’t bring any glass bottles with you, as it can be dangerous if broken. Furthermore, do not consume alcohol before or while enjoying your time at the corn maze. Be prepared . Accidents can happen, usually at the most unexpected times! It is important to always have a first-aid kit handy. Be sure to call 911 in an emergency and let staff know what is going on.
Fall brings apple cider, pumpkin patches, fun seasonal outfits, and corn mazes. Unless you are visiting a “haunted” corn maze, you and your family probably won’t be chased by a chainsaw- wielding serial killer while you try to navigate through. However, safety risks are still present. Here are five safety tips to keep the fun coming during your next corn maze experience.
Follow the rules. At the entrance to each corn maze, there should be a sign stating the rules for visitors. For the safety of yourself, your children, and others, be sure to read each rule and follow along. Always accompany your kids in the corn maze — it is a maze, after all! Watch for tripping and fire hazards. Keep your eyes peeled for any obstacles on the path, including holes, bumps, ruts, and
corn stalks. While navigating a maze, it can be easy to forget to look down while searching for the exit. To prevent fires, you should also avoid smoking and never use matches or lighters. Wear proper footwear. Ensure that you and your family all have proper footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes, while exploring the maze. You never know what kind of critters or potentially harmful hazards may appear in your path.
As long as safety is the top priority this fall, fun will be had by all!

3 HAUNTED SPOTS EVERY GHOST BELIEVER WILL LOVE Ghosts Across America
October is one of the best months for travel in the U.S. With mild temperatures and gorgeous, colorful leaves everywhere, there’s no better time for a cross-country road trip. Add some Halloween flair to your October vacation with these three ghostly attractions. Visit the most haunted town in the U.S. — Waynesville, Ohio. Sure, New Orleans may have a spooky past, but it doesn’t compare to Waynesville. Many residents and visitors think this Ohio town is rife with ghosts.

This one’s for those who love mysterious creatures. Pine Barrens is a mass of forested land that spreads across seven counties in New Jersey — and its most famous resident isn’t human. The Jersey Devil has a long, storied history

The society leans into the local fascination and hosts regular walking ghost tours and ghost hunting classes. Stay a while at Hotel Monte Vista in Flagstaff, Arizona. Guests at Hotel Monte Vista have often enjoyed long stays at the downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, hotel, but not everyone leaves. Constructed in 1927, the hotel is host to a number of reported ghosts.

Man SuesWoman for Texting During a Movie Date
We’ve probably all found ourselves annoyed with someone who uses their phone during a movie at the theater, but have you ever been so annoyed that you sued them? That’s what Texas resident Brandon Vezmar decided to do back in 2017, following a “first date from hell” (as Vezmar put it) with Crystal Cruz. According to Vezmar, about 15 minutes into “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” Cruz was texting on her phone. When Vezmar asked her to stop texting, she refused. Then, Vezmar suggested that she step outside of the theater to text. Cruz took his suggestion and never returned. Most people would chalk the experience up to a bad date and move on, but Vezmar was so indignant that he reached out to Cruz the next day and requested that she compensate him $4 for the pizza and $17 for the movie ticket he’d paid for. If she didn’t pay, he
threatened to go after the money in small claims court. When Cruz initially refused, Vezmar made good on his threat and filed a petition in Austin, Texas.
and had negatively impacted his and other moviegoers’ experiences of watching a raccoon and a talking tree (among other beings) save the day. He claimed that while he sought modest damages, it was the principle of the thing that really mattered to him. He called Cruz’s behavior “a threat to civilized society.” As entertaining as it might have been to see that case fully make its way through the legal system, the lawsuit was eventually dropped after the TV show “Inside Edition” reunited Cruz and Vezmar and filmed her paying him back for the date. As the camera rolled, he counted his cash and considered them square. Unlike “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” there were no good guys in this story — but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining to read about after the fact!
Vezmar made the case that Cruz had violated the cinema’s no cellphone policy
