Werther’s Candy has rolled out jeans with 30 pockets meant for holding one caramel each. Would you wear these?

Brands seem to be doing anything to get attention these days, and I hate to say it might be working. First, there was the KFC perfume that smells like their BBQ sauce. Then, many brands followed with their own unique line of fragrance. Now, are brands moving into clothing? It appears so! Werther’s Candy is introducing jeans with 30 pockets meant for holding one caramel each. These are definitely some unique jeans. I’m not sure if this will end up being a big thing or not. Do you need pockets to hold your individual caramels? I don’t think I do, personally!

Would You Wear Werther’s Candy Jeans?

You’re probably familiar with Werther’s Candy. Chances are you’ve enjoyed one of their treats while visiting grandma’s place, or something. However, you probably aren’t as familiar with their clothing line–especially their jeans. However, that all might change if this ends up taking off.

Likewise, you’ve probably heard of boyfriend jeans. They’re a more relaxed and loose fit of jean. But have you heard of Grandma Jeans? That’s what this appears to be as they are jeans literally designed to hold your Werther’s Candy caramels. According to Yahoo!, Werther’s Candy has introduced a limited-edition pair of jeans which feature 30 tiny pockets that are each designed to hold a single piece of their signature hard candy caramel. If you do like them, definitely make sure to check the pockets before you put these jeans in the washer and dryer. That might be a mess to clean up afterwards.

If you’re looking for a pair, you won’t find them in stores. The company is hosting a sweepstakes to give away 200 pairs to fans and they’ll also get a bag of their caramels to help fill up the pockets. What are these jeans without any candy? According to Yahoo!, the company says, “the total prize value is equivalent to a year’s worth of Werther’s Originals!” You can enter the sweepstakes here and it’s open through October 25th at 11:59pm ET. Winners will be selected on October 28th and entrants only have to provide contact and shipping information.

You can see a video about these unique jeans shared on Werther’s Instagram account below. Do they seem like something you would want to buy or wear? Wake me when there’s one for Reece’s Cups.

That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

9 Worst Trick or Treat Handouts for Halloween

Halloween is the time of year when spookiness takes center stage, and creative costumes rule the streets. It’s also the day of the beloved tradition, trick-or-treating. Whether you’re a kid dreaming of a candy jackpot or an adult admiring the neighborhood’s costume creativity while handing out treats, it’s a highlight of the year.

However, you’ll always find that one neighbor who likes to shake things up by handing out something other than candy. It’s not always a bad thing, though. Some people do it for a good reason, like considering kids with dietary restrictions. But if you’re considering going outside the box, you should avoid certain trick-or-treat handouts.

Let’s talk about the Halloween horrors, the stuff no one wants in their trick-or-treat bag. First on the list are those infamous toothbrushes or dental floss packs. Halloween is the one night a year when kids can indulge in a sugar frenzy, and suddenly, you’re handed a dental hygiene product. It’s like being told to eat your veggies at a birthday party. Then there are the homemade treats. While some homemade goodies can be delicious, receiving unlabeled, homemade treats can make even the bravest trick-or-treater think twice; also, most parent’s won’t feel comfortable with that and may dispose of them. All of your hard work will go to waste! Safety is paramount on Halloween, and unwrapped or unlabeled edibles can raise concerns.

Another item to avoid is pennies. They’re not even worth the trip to the store, and they make you question if you’ve accidentally stumbled into a time machine back to the 1950s. If you’re going to give out money on Halloween, make it worthwhile if you can swing it. While Halloween is all about surprises, pennies are definitely not the kind of surprises anyone hopes for.

Take a look at some of the worst trick-or-treat handouts for Halloween.

Key Chains
Keychains are handy, but they’re not exactly the kind of treasure kids hope to find in their candy haul. They want stuff that’s sweet, not stuff for keys they don’t have. Save yourself some money and pass on key chains.

Hygiene Products
We all know cleanliness is important, but getting soap, shampoo, or hand sanitizer in your treat bag on Halloween is not what kids look forward to. It’s a treat, not a trip to the pharmacy. It’s like getting socks for Christmas. While practical, it’s not exactly exciting.

Loose Change
Coins may have been an acceptable treat decades ago, but nowadays, they’re seen as disappointing. Kids prefer candy. Or maybe small toys (if they’re exciting/cool enough). Unless, you’re giving away the big bucks, steer clear of this one.

Trail Mix
Healthy snacks are great, but Halloween is all about the sugar rush. Kids aren’t exactly thrilled to find a mix of fruit and nuts in their bag. They’re hoping for chocolates and gummies, not something they associate with after-school snacks.

Coupons
Adults may appreciate coupons for discounts at local businesses, but they don’t make for a fun Halloween treat for kids. Saving money is cool, but Halloween is all about instant gratification. And coupons for discounts don’t really make the cut.

Brochures or Pamphlets
Halloween is not the time to distribute religious or informational materials. Kids are looking for fun and treats, not pamphlets. Consider giving those away another day that’s not Halloween.

Toothbrushes and Dental Floss
Halloween is all about the candy, right? So, if you toss a toothbrush or dental floss into a kid’s stash of treats, you’re basically inviting disappointment. Plus, it’s safe to assume that the trick-or-treater already has a toothbrush. Do they truly need another one?

Unwrapped Candy
Throwing unwrapped candy into a plastic pumpkin? That’s just asking for a sticky mess. Plus, it’s not the cleanest option. And given the concerns these days, it’s just another worry for parents who fear someone might mess with their child’s candy.

Homemade Treats
Those fancy homemade snacks that look like they came straight from Pinterest can be cute, but if you don’t really know the kids or their parents, they might wonder about your intentions. Sticking to pre-packaged treats is your best bet on Halloween, especially if you’re trying to keep trick-or-treating simple and sanitary.
