We won't say "Halloween is just around the corner", because it isn't.
Plus, once you start bandying that sentiment around, you open the floodgates for talk about Christmas in August, and no one wants that.
What we will say, is Halloween merchandise is just around the corner, and Mars Inc is leading the way with a new "utterly disgusting" flavour of Skittles.
Called Zombie Skittles, these limited edition sweets come in a packet of six flavours. Five taste like fruit - but there's one rogue flavour which the brand claim will turn your stomach.
The best part? Eating them is like a sweet version of Russian roulette.
You won't be able to guess which sweet is the "repulsive" zombie one as they all look the same.
Not only that, but apparently "every palate will perceive the taste differently, but everyone will know it's 'rotten' when they get it".
Interestingly, strong descriptions such "repulsive" and "disgusting" haven't been enough to turn people off wanting to try the confectionary.
In fact, it's had the complete opposite effect, and news of the launch has been with excitement and anticipation on social media.
"Hidden beneath the candy shell of select pieces in the pack is a rotten zombie flavor that will reveal itself only once you've started to chew,"a Skittles release explains.
"It's an utterly disgusting taste experience that will elicit strong reactions from anyone and everyone daring enough to try it."
