American's will spend $7.4 BILLION on Halloween this year. $7.4 BILLION. I phuking LOVE America. We have our priorities in order and we know how to have a good time!
Men will dress like women, women will dress like tramps (Hey, I'm just calling it like I see it. "What are you?" "I'm a sexy nurse". Sexy nurse? Really? When's the last time you saw a sexy nurse when there wasn't smarmy 70's guitar music playing in the background. I'm not saying sexy nurses don't exist. I'm just saying you have better odds of running across the elusive spotted white leopard than the sexy nurse.) and kids..awe, who gives a shit about the kids, this has turned into an adult holiday! Don't believe me? Adults will spend $1.4 billion on costumes this year versus $1.1 billion on kids costumes. And this year Halloween is on a Friday...forghetaboutit!
Speaking of things I'd like to forget about. American's are expected to spend $350 million on costumes for their pets. To put this in perspective, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised $100 million. Yeah, we have our priorities in order all right. But hey, you can't say Mr. Kibbles doesn't look adorbs in his Frozen outfit.
Now here's something I can get behind. We will spend $2.5 billion on candy for Halloween this year. Notice I said "we" this time. I totally support any candy spending any time of the year. And the best part is holiday marketing leads to after holiday discounts. I once filled a shopping cart with conversation hearts on February 19th. Best day of my life...OF MY LIFE!
So whether you are the girl whoring it up as a sexy nurse or the crabby old bastard riding it out in your empty house with the lights off, I hope you get your $7.4 billion dollars worth. And just think, in a couple weeks we can start spending our money on Thanksgiving celebrations!!!
