There are few things more American than a small town 4th of July parade.  Cars decked out in crepe paper.  Folks lining the streets waving flags.  And candy.  Buckets of candy.  

Have you seen how people throw this stuff out?  It’s like chumming the water for sharks.  Once the feeding frenzy begins, it quickly escalates into a full-out candy apocalypse. Six-year-olds claw past each other like a piece of Starburst is the last food on earth.  It’s like Lord of the Flies meets Willie Wonka.
