Why is the candy always gone?

Children trick-or-treat to get their Halloween sugar fix, but grown-ups know that November 1st is the day when we clean up, hitting half-price holiday-branded candy sales. That’s what Justin tried to do, and he was horrified when he stopped by CVS to hit the half-price sale and found only Santas and reindeer, as far as the eye could see. Or at least in the seasonal aisle.

He writes:

Cvs has skipped the time honored tradition of half-life Halloween candy and give straight to Christmas! I went in with my coworkers expecting to find great deals and instead found icky full priced Christmas candy!
