Best: milky way, snickers, twix, good plain chocolate, laffy taffys, nerds Bad: lollipops Genuinely Inedible: candy corn
Ed: forgot butterfingers they are also best.
I don’t but a close friend does. he would trade away coconut for it
That gave me the idea to toss in a coconut or two into bags this year. I’ll reserve those for the “kids” that are obviously too old for this stuff.
loll remind them they can send it through the mail with no packaging
I do full size candy bars, but I’ll also drop a handful of loose candy corn instead into the bag of someone who’s clearly too old.
Worst->Best
At least on the scale of what I’m handing out.
Had to scale it back this year only 43 lbs, probably only last about half the night.
Best: King size candy bars
Worst: Those little rock-hard peanut butter taffy things in the black and orange wrappers.
I fucking love those things
What I don’t understand about those garbage molasses candies is who buys them and why? At this point they’ve been the most hated candy for decades.
Best: Reese’s peanut butter cups
Worst: Tootsie Rolls, they’re just wax with a slightly sweet flavor
I love tootsie rolls. I’ll trade you.
That’s fair
you don’t look at wax and fantasize about chewing on it sometimes?
Trick or treating isn’t so much of a thing in Australia, even though the idea of Halloween and dressing up has become more popular.
Anyway, no one has ever done it in our neighbourhood, but just in case I buy a bag of chupa chups in October in case anyone knocks on the door.
The dentist’s house handed out toothbrushes. Which actually was really thoughtful and appreciated by the poorer parents
imagine the ruckus if he’d handed out something with fluoride in it
Like toothpaste?
Like hydrofluoric acid disguised as ketchup packets?
MaryJanes. Should be outlawed by international convention.
Worst: raisinettes, circus peanuts, candy corn Best: none of the above
Man those are some of my favs. I’ve always loved them.
Best: kit-kats, twix, heath bar, and the wee chocolates dark/light/crunch mix assortment.
Worst: banana laffy taffy, smarties
Also I freaking love black licorice and my kids do too but would never, ever dare hand it out, absolutely a trick not a treat for most kids.
I also love black licorice. Did we just become best friends?
Sir that is nasty
I got eerily angry complaints from parents one Halloween after I gave out cotton candy “because it filled up too much space in their bags for something that would dissolve in their mouth all at once anyways as well as make them hyper as it’s just sugar”. Makes me wonder how they spent their evenings.
oh man pixie sticks are like summoning a demon
Man those parents don’t know shit - you were a Hallowe’en hero
