Milky Way?

The list is solid enough, but you almost have to do two:

Chocolate and Non-chocolate.

Also, ‘Hershey Bar’ probably ought to include all variants (crackle, etc - not Special Dark).

Nerds are a bummer for parents - they get into everything and bleed permanent ink.

Bottle Caps ought to be on the non-chocolate, and Zots.

Mounds need to be there somewhere down on the bottom, because while they are outstanding, coconut and almond isn’t for everyone.

Personally, I don’t care for 3 Musketeer, but it is a good bar on the Chocolate side.

Swedish Fish, Warheads, Mike and Ikes (All variants) for the Non.

I agree with that list however, smarties are OK.

Swedish Fish are my weakness. If I have a bag of them, I eat them all in one day. So I rarely buy them.

When I was a kid, you could only buy them at the candy places in the mall that sold candy by the pound. I would get a craving, scrounge up enough change, ride my bike to the mall and buy a pound.

Hence, the two bridges in my mouth.

They're seasonal because they wouldn't sell the rest of the year.

There's no market just 'memories'.

OMG! I just found this.

The only good Oreos are the traditional black with white insides.

I'm about to barf just looking at this. Gross.

Raw radishes.

Or Brussels sprouts of we can’t find radishes.

(Had a neighbor that passed out potatoes...but only after you passed a test. Kids loved the guy.)

"Kitty Litter Cake"

We call those doggie Pay Day candy bars. Our dogs love'em (if they get thru the gates we have in place to block just such an occurrence...yes, it's happened).

If you dont eat stuff that has expired, how will your body know what is crap and what is good?

I was a poor bachelor for too many years I guess.

I like candy corn, and circus peanuts. I’m not supposed to have them though.

Give me some Whoppers and Junior Mints. I can’t believe they didn’t make either list.

Mary Janes were always the last candy eaten out of my ‘stash.’

Can’t say that I’ve ever gotten Circus Peanuts as a Halloween Trick-or-Treat.

Satan’s anus to the American pallet. I love it but both my grandparents and mother are Dutch.

“When I was a kid, you could only buy them at the candy places in the mall that sold candy by the pound.”

I worked at a Swiss Colony store when I was in high school. Believe me, I have consumed my share of Swedish fish and gummy Coca-Cola-flavored bottles.

I liked the violet-flavored pastille candies they sold when I was a teenager too (not sure if they are still sold anywhere).
