Several months ago, I wrote about how I needed to probably needed to use a standard disclaimer on the reviews that I wrote of various limited edition candy bars. Now that candy season has in full swing, I think I may need another disclaimer, this one for the various holiday candy reviews that I write.

There is a big difference that you need to keep in mind between a review of most limited editions and a review of any holiday-themed candy. With a limited edition, this may be just a one-shot deal, and you have to grab it while you can. A holiday candy, on the other hand, might have only a limited time on the shelves, but it turns out to be fairly popular, it may be something that shows up year after year. So, I need a different sort of disclaimer for the holiday candy reviews. Something that might read a little like this:

"As I have already said, this is a/an [insert holiday here] release. It might be on the shelves a little after [insert holiday here] is over, but it will quickly get shoved over to the clearance shelf to make room for the [insert next holiday here] candy. Of course, if you really like it, you can take some comfort in the fact that more than likely, it will be back on the shelves when the [insert holiday here] season starts next year."

Referring back to this might be a little easier than constantly trying to come up with new ways of saying the same old thing.
