Favorite Halloween Candy

[THUNDER HANDS]

Poll question: Favorite Halloween Candy

When you were just a young tyke, what candy did you most enjoy receiving on Halloween?

[Brucey]

1. Close call between

Snickers and Reeses cups. But I went for Snickers.

12. $100,000 Bar

Even though I could never make the caramel stretch like it did in the commercial!

Strong second for Smarties.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

2. You didn't put any NON chocolate candy on the poll!

I gotta have my Smarties.

4. what are Smarties?

I've never heard or seen them before?

[supernova]

8. Yum! Smarties!

I love those things, my second fav after chocolate.

Smarties are small SweetTarts. You get them in a roll. And they are sour.

[Kellanved]

10. and there is a Eurocandy by the same name

Basically the same as M&Ms, but better (IMHO).

3. That candy corn stuff

I eat it by the handfull.

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. are they put in little bags

How do they come? My mother always made me throw out the candy corn I got because it always came in open bags.

[Loonman]

7. They used to come in little boxes

But when I was a kid, we all knew who we trick or treated from, and you could score stuff like popcorn balls and not worry.

Nowadays you can't do that.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. Reeces Peanut Butter Cups

I used to steal them from my younger sister's Halloween bad and replac them with the crap I didn't want! :evilgrin:

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

9. I still do that...

...but now I do it to my kids!

[wtmusic]

11. Smarties

[frylock]

13. put me down for smarties too!!

I love Smarties!!

[Bertha Venation]

29. mmmm.... Smarties

Besides Milky Way, they were my fave.

There were no Kit Kat Bars or Reese's Pieces when I was a kid. Feeling old today.

[NicoleM]

14. How about now?

We weren't allowed to trick or treat when I was a kid. My mom was very paranoid about razors in the apples.

However, I just ate a delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Cup out of my Halloween to-be-given-to-kids stash. I see my husband has been in the snack-sized Snickers.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. Now people are just paranoid...PERIOD.

I'm so tired of living in Bush's little paranoid Schizophrenic dillusion. DEMS, GET US OUT OF HERE!

16. Remember Kandy Korn? MMMmmmmmmmmmmm! n/t

[chiburb]

19. You mean this?

[Red State Rebel]

22. Great Candy Corn trick...

Add spanish peanuts to your Candy Corn for Payday Mix. Taste just like a payday candy bar.. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. mmmmmmm...that sounds goooood!

Thanks! I'm gonna try it! :9

[liberalitch]

18. Black jelly beans

yummmmmmmm!

[AquariDem]

26. Blecch!

[Whitacre D_WI]

20. Those black-and-orange-wrapped peanut butter kisses

that you just have to chew and chew and chew until eventually they are almost soft enough to swallow. Then you choke on them a little. Yummy!

I also have a particular fondness for Pixie Stix, especially as that straw is just about perfect for snorting them but don't do that when you've got a job interview 'cause the interviewer might ask you a questin and then your nose starts bleeding and he says "are you on coke" and you say no and he says "I think you're on coke, don't bogart" and you say no and then he says you can have the job if he can have some coke and then he steals your Pixie Stix what a bastard!

[Bridget Burke]

21. Bad Pixie Stix story....

Some years ago, a child in the Houston area died from poison after trick or treating--the poison was mixed into a Pixie Stix (singular of Stix?).

Eventually, his father was proven to be the murderer--he'd just taken out a large insurance policy on his son. However, the situation put a damper on trick or treating for a while....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. Candy corn!

Halloween isn't the same without it. Makes your teeth disintigrate in your mouth...not in your hands.

[tom_paine]

24. CLARK BARS!

:bounce: :bounce:

Go ahead and flame away...

[Bertha Venation]

28. name that movie:

"Ohh, look! The chocolate-covered finger of a man named Clark!"

[AquariDem]

27. Werther's Butter Toffee, and cancy corn

Still two of my faves.

[MaryBear]

30. How can you say "Halloween Candy,"

and not mean CANDY CORN ???

[LTR]

33. The worst?

Pennies. Ugh! They taste terrible. Hard to bite down on, and no flavor.

I like the candy corn, though. :)
