What is your favorite candy bar? For general purposes, of course. :)
Pixie Stix
YES!! And my hubby LOVES those nasty things! LOL!
Where I grew up, we would usually get five or six kids on Halloween.
I got married and moved into married housing on the Army Post.
It was where all the young married people lived. The ones with all the kids.
There were hundreds of kids.
My wife was working so I was home alone with my one bag of candy.
You turned on your porch light to show you were handing out treats.
I was out of candy in the first five minutes.
I started handing out cans of soup.
I thought about handing out slices of bread, but I figured they’d probably want butter and we were low on that.
So, in the middle of the rush, I turned off our porch light.
You’d be surprised at the words those kids knew.
“Open that *#<%*+#|\ door and give us candy! We know you’re in there! We’ll burn you out!”
I put a chair against the door and hid behind the couch.
I was prepared for next year. I had a garbage can full of candy.
I ran out of candy and turned off the porch light after ten minutes.
Used up two fire extinguishers.
Army kids are persistent little cusses.
Probably because it was stale and made a mess in the treat sack! LOL!
Kale isn’t even food!! Yuk!
I never tried to trade with my brother. I knew he’d no doubt cheat me. LOL! I also had to hide my stash from him, because he’d eat all of his fast and then want some of mine. No DEAL!
I hear ya! Especially after the big scare and tragedy in Pasadena that happened in my brother’s neighborhood! No one even ate them after that!
We made a beeline for the home made stuff, the warm out of the oven cookies, popcorn balls, candy apples, cider and donuts, fresh roasted peanuts and chestnuts, pumpkin seeds...
Then off for mischief on the others, with the tootsie rolls and such lol.
Halloween is no fun anymore.
GO TRIBE!
If I remember right, some guy poisoned his own kid for the life insurance money.
I turn out the lights and scare the crap out of the 17 year olds.
Always have frozen reeses cups and york peppermint pattys for the littyle kids
I used to get those and a UNICEF penny box so they shamed you into giving your collected pennies to the poor in Africa LOL

To be fair those people were poor a church mice.
You Hate Raisins |
You want the sweetest, most decadent treats that can be whipped up. And you certainly aren't thinking raisins... *gag*! The last thing you want to think about in the middle of your sugar binge is healthy eating. If you're forced to, you'll eat some fruit flavored candy. But that's as far as you're going. |
You know those peanut butter cheap candy that you can only find this time of the year? For some reason I like those things.
Its Halloween! not Cirque de Blowle
Remember Lemon drops and Horeshound drops? I actually liked them
You Hate Pennies |
Pennies waste your time. Time is money. So it follows that pennies are the one type of money you're not that excited to have. (You don't really want nickels or dimes either though!) You appreciate traditions and old fashioned ideas. You hate it when people rush or try to find short cuts on holidays. Just like you don't want pennies for Halloween, you don't like money or gift cards for Christmas either! |
A tooth brush.
Candy corn is only good if eaten with salted nuts. Then, it’s actually very good. By itself though, it is nasty.
