Extra Candy
by: Taryn Gifford

   What to do with all that extra Halloween candy you spent hours trick-or-treating for on the chilly night of Halloween? Here are some ideas in case you just simply don’t know what to do, and hopefully these will help you make that very important decision.

1. Make a necklace. There really is no real point for this, except that you could hand them out at school and be super cool (this will fast be the new trend, mark my words). Simply poke little holes at each end of the candy wrappers and string ribbon through the holes. Your friends will look absolutely fabulous and you can even trade so you can all wear different necklaces, kind of like Mardi Gras beads.

2. Make a milkshake. There is absolutely no need to pay for a four or five dollar milkshake at Coldstone when you have Halloween candy. Simply throw your favorite ice cream and a little milk in the blender, add a few Butterfinger or Reeses and voila: the perfect shake.

3. Bribe freshmen in the halls. This may not work, but it’s worth a try. Say, for instance, your backpack is a little heavy one day. Offer to give that special freshman a bag of candy to carry your bag. Maybe you’ll make a new friend.

4. If all else fails and you still have tons of candy, you could always drop it off in the journalism room (room 207). We’re always in need of some food for thought.
