Dublin has only gone and bloody lost it in terms of tricks, treats and colossal meals of mental proportions. And we have to admit, we kinda love it.
Here's a small selection to show you that we are not exaggerating, and that everyone in fact has let their imaginations run wild.

Filthy, filthy delicious American Police-worthy doughnuts, that when eaten too quickly could probably kill a man out of pure sugar excitement.
9. The Munchy Box
To everywhere who stocks the anything-but-humble Munchy Box, we admire your commitment to all things beige, but we also think you need to chill the fuck out.
