Happy almost-Halloween! In just two days you’ll be able to get all of the Reese’s pumpkins and candy corn your heart desires at a steep discount. Maybe this Halloween-themed box from Mouth will be on sale then too?

Dopamine Goods is a T-shirt project that raises money for abortion funds, and many of them will speak to the food enthusiast: There’s this crab rangoon tee, this ode to dino nuggets, and this one that simply reads “pickle girl.” (Plus, there are several other options that’ll ensure you’re ready for next year’s Halloween.)
