Hershey’s is now backtracking and claims they will not have a Halloween candy shortage. Last week, Hershey’s executive Michelle Buck said Halloween candy would be in short supply due to supply chain issues and ingredient shortages. Now, Hershey’s says, “…[they] will have even more seasonal product available to the consumer this year than last year.”

Now you can live your best “Squid Game” life, without your ACTUAL life being on the line. There’s an immersive game experience coming out next month in nine cities across the USA.

It’ll be a 60-minute game for groups of up to six people. The people participating will wear a visor that tracks their motion and use touch screens to complete six challenges from the show like Red Light, Green Light and Dalgona. Players must survive each challenge to advance in the game. If they fail, they lose a VIRTUAL life. And if they win, it puts money in their piggy bank

It debuts September 21st and booking has already opened. The closest one to us is in chicago but thats a pretty good excuse for a road trip.
