5 Good News Stories - happiness and fun

About
Johnny Mac shares five good news Halloween stories: Costco is selling a 5.5-pound Belgian chocolate Frankenstein head that comes with a wooden mallet and contains a pound of body-part-shaped gummy candies for $55, though it’s sold out and being resold for up to $100. Lego released a 323-piece Halloween Pumpkin Lantern set that lights up when the stem is pressed and includes a spider and glow-in-the-dark ghost for about $30. In Philadelphia, Newsroom Philly becomes the Pumpkin Press, a Poe and Headless Horseman-inspired pop-up with themed decor and cocktails like the Headless Horseman, Moon Over Sleepy Hollow, and a Raven’s Cauldron for groups. Starbucks adds a caffeine-free Black Cat Frappuccino on Oct. 22, a Black Knight Cookie, and Halloween merch. Shock Top and Spirit Halloween created Candy Corn Wheat, a limited-edition 5% wheat ale with mixed reactions.
