Halloween Parties are the best time to see your friends, neighbors, family members, and co-workers drunk, silly, and dressed up and looking utterly ridiculous. Pack a bunch of these in your bag along with a video camera, so you can get footage of the boss saying, "I VANT TO SUCK YOUR...JELLO SHOT!" while he shoves two in his mouth at the same time. (Then maybe play it on the monitor at work anonymously)
