Best Candy, Worst Candy

Oct 31, 2008 12:05

Happy Halloween, everyone! :D

Well-meaning strangers are no longer responsible for my candy supply . . . but that doesn't mean I can't wax self-indulgent nostalgic about the good treats and the bad.

What made you shriek with joy when you dumped out your bag at the end of the night? What earned a grumbled "thank you" and a vow never to visit that ( Read more... )

Chocolate Flavor Candies. Like those waxy coins. Those little figurines. Brown. Smells like chocolate. Tastes like wax. WORST WORST WORST EVAR.

Although mostly what sucks is getting Chick Tracts and pennies. WTF people? GIVE ME CANDY!

Ick, those were nasty! And yes: CANDY CANDY CANDY!

I edited my post to include a link to the Debs' Trick-or-Treat post. Don't give anyone my razor blades; you know I have first dibs! ;P

I'm in full agreement. Candy bars rock, other things...meh.

You'll be happy to know that BB is going as Supergirl! And E as a Ninja, though no ninjas are featured in Dull Boys as far as I know.

Have fun tonight scaring little kids Saveh!

Awwww! Your bbs are totally equipped to save the universe! :D

Haha, thanks!

They so are. Especially post-sugar logged state like they are now!

(Well, not BB, but E certainly!)

Almond Joy all the way!!!! And then Mounds when those run out.

They're like the worst, most sugary candy ever and the chocolate surely has wax lips in it, but how I love an Almond Joy or two on Halloween.

When I was a kid my mom was too cheap to buy candy so she made popcorn and put it in baggies. Every year.

Mmmm, Almond Joys are truly awesome. They're like the grown-up version of Mounds. :D

Aww, your mom! Popcorn is still way better than pennies. ;D

Best for me was anything by Willy Wonka except Runts (Nerds were the best), Nestle Crunch, Baby Ruth (I missed that movie thankfully), anything with dark chocolate, Heath bars, Skittles...

Worst: Tootsie Rolls, anything anonymous, peppermints (those hardly count as a candy, IMO, they are something you take upon leaving a restaurant!), Three Musketeers and, I know this will make me a freak, but I hate Reese's Cups.

Best anomaly: A can of soda. Dude, you get so thirsty trick-or-treating! I was awfully happy for that can of soda.

I never got a notebook. Huh.

Nerds were like crack. I could never eat enough of them!

Ew, peppermints on Halloween? So wrong. That's like the candy treacherous old ladies pull from the bowels of their purses to try to lure you to the side of darkness. (Or, um, maybe they were being nice ... ? ^^;) It certainly isn't v. exciting, tho.

Soda = genius. ♥
