New “real” article coming this weekend — and maybe two if I’m quick enough. Meantime, the Countdown’s been updated with a review of the new hotness this Halloween season, 3-D Bloody Words, essentially giant Fruit Roll-Ups shaped like deadly phrases. They’re kinda cool, kinda not, but definitely in style. Remember, the Halloween Countdown doesn’t stop for the weekends; come back Saturday and Sunday and every damn day till THE day for more four-paragraph ramblings on things I found at pharmacies. Speaking of which:
Atomic Fireballs! They weren’t extinct, but I haven’t seen these babies in a looong time. There was a deli within walking distance of my public school, so the big thing when I was in the fifth grade was spending anywhere from 2-5 bucks for huge bags of the nickel-each Fireballs. We were obsessed with them, and this being a five-pack for a quarter, I’m happy to report that they’re still the same low price. I don’t really require them to win the affections of my classmates these days, but if I ever need to cleanse garlic sauce from the pallet, there they are.

Fireballs. Nope, never could keep ‘em in my mouth for long. Sour stuff I can usually handle, but not fireballs.
sadly, ive never had a fireball
but ive had plenty of generic window clings, in fact have a frankenstein and a ghost right now, too bad that stuff didnt stuck to your fishtank, im sure the ’stay out’ would have warned away an intruders wanting to steal the little food pellets or whatever the hell fish eat now and days.
