Reese’s had its chocolate and its peanut butter. And it was good. Heck, it’s STILL good. Especially in the freezer. Drooooool. And now Roxio and Lucas have their Angry Birds and their Star Wars. And fans have Angry Birds Star Wars! How can you not fall in love with a Darth Vader pig? No, seriously? How??? Apparently the power of the Dark Side is pure cuteness.

No mustard. No sesame seeds. No M&Ms. It’s something he’s lived with for almost his entire life so far (all 9 years of it). When he was younger, he LOVED the separate crazy cupcakes my wife would make for him to take to …
