As we all gear up for the holidays, everyone is scrambling to buy those last-minute gifts for friends and family.

Even The Crunchies monkey. Where do monkeys shop, you ask? Well, we left that up to our own Josh Constine, and I think you’ll agree that it was a good idea on paper, but at the end of the day, maybe just a good old hug will do. Last month, we broke the huge fun story that Facebook now has an on-campus store…called STORE. So why not visit it?

The Crunchies are the hottest ticket in town come January 31st, so please join us.
