This is the one that almost got away! Thanks to social media, I find so many seasonal products on Twitter and Instagram long before I ever do in stores. On one hand, that's a good thing because it makes me aware of items that I may have overlooked otherwise. But, on the other hand, it can be pretty aggravating when thousands of people are posting pics with one of the coolest Halloween things of the season and I can't seem to find it anywhere. The tease is what sometimes makes the hunt more fun and all that more worth it, but when it becomes impossible, it just gets frustrating. That's what was was happening with new Candy Corn Pebbles. In reality, this box was one of the first images I noticed back in early September when I searched #halloween2014 on Instagram. One guy had it and I figured, okay, soon enough it'll be available nationwide and I'll snatch one up. Then, weeks and weeks went by without any sign of transition. Finally, on October 23rd, I resorted to the last of all resorts - Ebay! $13 later, I'm no longer left out in the cold, I'm simply questioning my life's priorities.
