I was in the grocery store this week and they not only had egg nog out already in the dairy aisle but they had about a third of the case branded as Halloween egg nog replete with crappy illustrations of witches on the cartons and bottles. My mind boggles at the idea of marketers sitting in a meeting going, well, egg nog really sells great around the holidays, but how do we get people to drink it sooner? I’ve got it by jove! Halloween egg nog!
No one needs to drink egg nog more than maybe twice in a year. And both of those times should be in December at parties where the host had a bunch of cheap rum to get rid of. Halloween is a holiday for getting an extra 3,000 calories in candy, not in two glasses of egg nog. I hate you Halloween egg nog.
