I have candy here from literally months ago as well, various candy bars, M and Mls, thin mints, sour apple rings ( love those ) red and chocolate licorice, caramels, mixed wrapped candy like mints, butterscotch, Werthers, etc. . I used to buy one or more of these in the store each week - never buy them anymore.
I still remember the moment (a few years ago) when I went looking for the Easter candy and it was gone because my hubby had eaten it. That was a watershed moment - I used to be the one who ate up all the chocolate! (He pointed out in his defense that it was a month after Easter. And so it was. I was just used to candy being there until I finished it off... and NOT a month later, lol!)
