DawnM Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My 19 year old wants to know! And he wants to stock up this year so he can enjoy them year round! Do they start before Halloween? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't think so. They come after Pumpkinpalooza. I think early in November-ish? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Jo Jo's are simply the best. Don't worry, they will be here before you know it. And while you are there, grab some ginger bread mix when they get that in, too, if you are not gluten free. It's great. I used to put a spoonful of molasses in the batter and it would come out so yummy. For gluten free people, the pumpkin bread mix is great, too!! You can't tell the difference at all. I will make a confession......don't shoot me......we aren't really pumpkin people. DH likes pumpkin pie and I gladly buy it for him because I don't like it, so I am not tempted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have a box of the new Mocha ones. Yum. (I love all coffee flavored items, except actual coffee. LOL) I think they start after Halloween. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I am there three or four times a week, so I can ask for you on Monday. Last December they had these mint chocolate bars with cookie crumbles. DH had an argument when I had one square of the first one I bought, and he had the rest. Then another argument when he discovered that I'd started to stash one in my purse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I was thinking that it's not until after Thanksgving. I know they're later than most at replacing autumn with Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 In answer to your title: Not Soon Enough No kidding! You know what I don't get? WHY are peppermint things related to Christmas. The cooling mint should be a summer thing shouldn't it? I must be missing something....why would we want COLD in the winter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mocha ones are SO GOOD. I'm glad the peppermint jojo season is short- I have no self control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 No kidding! You know what I don't get? WHY are peppermint things related to Christmas. The cooling mint should be a summer thing shouldn't it? I must be missing something....why would we want COLD in the winter? I wonder if it just has to do with the red/white associated with Santa Claus (thanks to Coca-Cola)?? Maybe real mint was easy to store and use during the winter in Germany? OK...instead of wondering, I googled... http://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/why-is-peppermint-the-flavor-of-christmas-holiday-candy-canes-article "ccording to The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets, a local choirmaster in Cologne, Germany, sometime around 1670, was looking for a way to keep rowdy young people quiet while they were watching the live Nativity, and asked a local confectioner to create a special hard candy for the kids to keep busy on for a while. It was shaped like a cane—or, more to the point, a shepherd's staff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
