It might be strumming memory chords. Up there with scents.
Ripple was Fred G. Sanford’s beverage of choice. I think you mean Christmas ribbon candy, although Fred certainly would have gone for the ripple version.
I always gave away my Butterfingers and ZagNuts. The photo of the pennies got me. I am old enough to remember that a few of my neighbors gave away little sacks of 10 pennies. It was like winning the lotto !
Dentists also love Jordan almonds (good for tooth/filling breakage).
I hate Tootsie Rolls.

Even worse are those adults who feel compelled to hand out “healthy snacks.” Of course, all the horror stories about razor blades in apples make that a no-go, but I’ve heard about “progressive” parents who pass out granola bars, little bags of carrots, etc. Some learn their lesson fairly quickly, after having to pick up all those “veggie bags” tossed into their front yard, or having to mount the big clean-up when their house gets rolled.
Serves ‘em right. I remember “unrestricted” Halloweens when I was a kid; you put on the costume, grabbed the biggest bag you could find and canvassed the entire town, and came back with enough candy to last until Christmas. These days, the hover parents spend weeks to find the right costume, then take little Zoey or Hamilton to their friends house and gab about how evil Trump is.
I really liked Wax Coke bottles when I was eight.
Hope they enjoy cleaning the eggs from the side of their house.
kitty litter cakes?
I figured “the best” would be tofu seaweed and broccoli encrusted horse manure.
Chunkys should be on the 10 best list, as should Oh Henry bars.
It might be good to make candles.
We lived out in the sticks. Halloween consisted of loading up in the car and driving to friends house, going in, mom and dad having cocktails and off to next friends house.
Ha!
Though technically not candy, apples are by far the worst for hallowe’en.
In my trick or treat days, word spread quickly which houses were giving out apples, and kids avoided them like the plague.
I love circus peanuts! But as a trick or treating kid in the 1970s, i dont recall them given to me on halloween, ever.
Never eat anything that doesn't have an expiration date.
I’ve never seen one of those. Looks real!
