Spooky ghosts & spider sandwiches (and a Maxwell sighting)! Let’s pack lunch 👻
Breanna Stark calls herself the mom friend who knows how to smoke a brisket, but in October it is the lunchbox doing the heavy lifting. "Spooky ghosts & spider sandwiches (and a Maxwell sighting)! Let's pack lunch 👻" passed 375,000 views in its first 14 hours, far ahead of how her Shorts usually start.
It is the third spooky lunch in a week. The pumpkin patch lunch that opened the season on October 1 is already well past a million and a half views, and the return of the "Big Booty Black Cats" with pizza followed on Monday. Her barbecue has not gone anywhere: baby back ribs and a smoked pot roast went up on the same days. For now, though, the ghosts are drawing the bigger crowd.
The comment section moved about five times faster than on a usual first day, and it has turned into a fun-fact exchange. Viewers trade trivia about squirrels faking their nut burials, the soul cakes that came before trick-or-treating, bats, black cats and even stegosaurus plates.
The rest of the talk is about the lunch itself. One viewer singles out the olive idea, another notes that a pair of eyes came out looking more annoyed than spooky, which Breanna seems to have admitted herself, and a "duh" moment has several people laughing. Then there is Maxwell. The title promises a sighting, and viewers who say they have missed him are asking for more.

Here's a fun fact : Before trick-or-treating for candy, kids in Europe went door-to-door singing songs and saying prayers for the dead. In return, they were given sweet round treats called "soul cakes."
