Ah, the spooky season is upon us, and while Halloween is all about tricks and treats, who would have thought that the true mischief could be found in a cookie? Enter Little Debbie, not one to be outdone by the likes of Hostess, presenting us with a classy pumpkin-flavored treat. As far as I know, these little delights are the only mass-manufactured pumpkin-flavored treats gracing the shelves of my local supermarket. So, buckle up and read on... if you dare!

Picture this: Halloween is in the air, and you're on the hunt for something mischievously delicious. Little Debbie’s Pumpkin Delights catch your eye. But beware, for behind those innocent pumpkin faces lies a hint of evil. There’s something about the expressions on those gooey faces that sends a chill down your spine.

Maybe it's the sinister sneer, the crinkled brow, or that seemingly insincere smile, but one can't help but wonder if these delightful treats were crafted not by Little Debbie, but by Little Devil himself. Perhaps it's that touch of partially hydrogenated evil that gives these pumpkin spice cookies their irresistibly yummy flavor.

So go ahead, indulge in the Pumpkin Delights, but heed this warning: don’t turn your back on the box. There's a mischievous spirit lurking within those sweet, innocent-looking treats, just waiting to surprise you with their devilishly delightful taste. Happy haunting, and may your Halloween be filled with both tricks and treats!

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
