To defend myself, I was born in '85 so I don't think anyone was thinking about…

Just curious, has anyone else had these things? I've fallen in love with them recently since there is a Lebanese farmers market a little down the road. Only 114 calories according to most recipies I can find too! AND they're big! One makes a whole meal for me on average.

Halloween's different this year
