Bad Halloween Candy Hall of Fame

[dr_mabeuse]

For me: Candy Corn.

Sure, I thought I was cool when I put it on my teeth to make Vampire fangs, but eat a bag with a glass of milk and see if you don't end up heaving your chud down the porcelein pool and yelling for Ralph half the night, and once that happens, you're immunized for life against the temptations of candy corn.

So what is it? What used to be left in the bottom of your bag even after you'd eaten the 6 year-old sour balls that were fused into a solid mass the senile old lady down the block had given you?

I hated those Black and Orange wrapped kinda taffyish things.

For me the wax teeth. Can you believe they still make those? All you can do is pretend they're your teeth. I dunno... can you eat wax?

Candy Corn is good in small doses. Maybe 20 corns at a time.

I never liked Mary Janes. They were a strange substance. You could stretch them out like taffy, and if you smacked them into a table they shattered.

Necco Waffers too. Couldn't stand those things.

No, no... she's talking about something else. Actual wax teeth (and lips sometimes). And kids would eat them. Kinda makes you fear for the future, huh?

Halloween Kisses?!?! I was the youngest of five ... and by the time that my older brothers and sisters had pilfered my hallween take, all I was left with was Halloween Kisses and Rockets. I suppose I developed a liking for them from that.

There was a dentist who lived down the street ... he gave out toothbrushes or dental floss.

 

[Guest]

I'm a chocolate fiend, so the stuff that lurked at the bottom of my bag was always some sort of hard candy, usually sour. That, or sweet-tarts. Ick.

These days we give out Nerds - hate those crunchy little things. If we have left-over candy I know I won't be tempted.

 

[hmmnmm]

Sitting here trying to think. I'm sure there was something, but I don't remember just now. Somebody said something about those tarty things. Yeah.
But as I try to remember, I do remember the warnings about razor blades and needles and poison. But I never knew of anyone actually getting anything like this. I never did. And I won't say if I did or didn't check...

Never quite liked the Halloween Kisses. But I still love Rockets.

What are Rockets?

Rob fixed it ...

While searching I found a reference that said that in the States they are called Smarties. This, of course, is completely wrong ... Smarties are candy coated chocolates that you eat the red ones last.

Smarties? OK - I like those, so do our kids. In small doses.

They make my teeth hurt.

Rob ... I'll send you any left over Rockets and even throw in the Sour Gummy Worms, but I'm keeping the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for myself.

De rien.

I eat the brown ones last myself. But I've always been weird.

I think my all time favourite chocolate candy is Bridge Mixture. Favourite non-chocolate candy is Wine Gums, especially the good ones that come in different shapes.

Chocolate-covered peanuts.

 

[rgraham666]

Chocolate-covered peanuts.

Tsk. My mind does become too focused at times.

My favourite chocolate candy is syrup slathered on parts of my partner's anatomy and licked off.

Sheesh. Forgot this was a porn board fer cryin' out loud.

Wax Soda Bottles

...bite the wax off to get at the colorod liquid inside and it was so disappointing that you ended up chewing the wax so you could at least get some kind of "mileage" out of them...

Now: my son is totally into these Warhead Sour Drops that look like a breath freshener. And the liquid in those is INTENSE. Maybe if something like that had been in those soda bottles they would have been more worthwhile...

Well, you've been busy writing this morning.

Red and white pinwheel peppermints. When I was 9 we use to call them 'old people' candy, now 20 years later, I buy Brach's pinwheels because I like them.

I'm old! *sobs*

Hey Bel!

I remember those wax bottle things. Ick.

Our kids love the sour things - gummi worms, those juicy drop pops where you can add more sour drops . . .

More ick.

Gimme chocolate any time.

I like the sour stuff enough that I lobbied my daughter to give daddy an "extreme sour ball" while I was working the Halloween fair at her school last night.

I'm forty fricken' years old and I'm still vulnerable to strangers with sweets too....

Well, come on over and trick or treat at my house, baby.

my tongue will do the tricks and you'll get the treats...

BTW, there is no better way to make friends with a hot kindergarten mom than by calling Darth Vader-attired 5 year old "Anakin" and telling him it is no fair using the Force to affect the flight of the ping pong balls *grin*

I'm so shallow
