I had one neighbor  
MookGiants : 10/29/2014 3:28 pm : link
growing up who always gave out Fun Dips, I think that was my favorite thing to get for Halloween. That guy kicked ass.
I have heard of those wax bottles, but never actually seen them  
Greg from LI : 10/29/2014 3:28 pm : link
Same thing with those circus peanuts.

I remember once, as a kid, coming across a house where the lady handing out out no-shit full sized Butterfingers and Snickers. Neighbor of the Decade move right there.

are awful without a doubt, but who gives out circus peanuts for Halloween. I dont think I have ever seen that. What I have seen are the subhumans who give out candy corn. I'd rather have the little bag of fucking pennies than candy corn...


I don't have kids yet so it has been a long time since I've been trick or treating; for all I know no one has given out a circus peanut in 25 years. But they were shitty enough for me to remember them now. When I found the image in Google I felt as if I'd been shot with a diamond bullet...

On this... we agree!
Those wax bottles dredged up an old memory  
CRinCA : 10/29/2014 3:32 pm : link
Anybody remember these wax harmonica type things?

Terps  
steve in ky : 10/29/2014 3:32 pm : link
Yeah, they were my immediate fist thought as well. Maybe they are a thing of the past, which is a good thing. I'll take candy corn over them any day if forced to choose.
Is there anywhere that still does x-rays of candy?  
Greg from LI : 10/29/2014 3:33 pm : link
My parents never did it, but I remember places advertising it. Such a bizarre fad that emerged out of absolutely nothing - there were never any documented cases of anyone handing out candy with razor blades or needles in it.

this and the wax lips, teeth, etc... I remember it.

when I was a kid... not kidding
What was the worst candy that you still enjoyed?  
steve in ky : 10/29/2014 3:37 pm : link
Mine was probably those small drops of multi-colored candies glued to rolls of paper. The candy wasn't very tasty and you ended up getting some of the paper along with about every third piece you bit off, but there was something fun and appealing about it that made you still like it.
Starburst.

id rather  
MookGiants : 10/29/2014 3:38 pm : link

Greg... we could leak a whole ridiculous story that ISIS is targeting Halloween candy and is planning on poisoning millions of children with it and they would cancel Halloween.

People are a paranoid mess.
Anyone old enough to remember those candy cigarettes?  
steve in ky : 10/29/2014 3:38 pm : link

Well I'm older  
ChathamMark : 10/29/2014 3:39 pm : link
but hated when people did not give out candy. Popcorn balls, Apples....Where's the Candy!!

But best : Baby Ruth

Worst: Candy corn. Not that it was truly the worst, but in my day, was never bagged, they just threw a handful into your candy sack. Not virgin candy...
Good N Plenty  
Chef : 10/29/2014 3:39 pm : link

Candy buttons! I completely agree, they didn't taste great but they were always fun to eat.

Agreed
Always buy  
Doomster : 10/29/2014 3:43 pm : link
too many Kit Kats, more for moi, if enough kids don't come.

Worst? Anything natural and good for you, like an apple....

As kid, I loved Mary Jane's, squirrel candy, chunky's(they don't taste the same anymore), and popcorn balls....always had a second mask to put on(in the bag), if the house had something real good....

I still wear a costume when kids come to the door....lights go out.....have a lantern in my hand....turn on the CD with Halloween sounds.....scared a 2 year old last year....his father was not happy.....
Best would be  
MaineGiantFan : 10/29/2014 3:47 pm : link
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Worst would have to be Mike and Ikes
Was waiting for someone to bring up

Popcorn balls.. they are horrid..

Worst: bite size Snickers.

Seriously, those little square Snickers screw up the chocolate-to-filling ratio. They shouldnt get to carry the proud Snickers name. I kind of feel the same way about mini-Twix.



Same thing goes for the samll reese's peanut butter cups. Too much chocholate and not enough peanut butter.

Best - Reese's PB Cups  
rsjem1979 : 10/29/2014 3:52 pm : link
That's a landslide victory for the King of Candy. I can't wait to eat a thousand of them after we get zero trick-or-treaters at my apartment Friday night.

Worst - Mounds. Honestly, Mounds can go fuck itself. I'd rather eat two tons of candy corn before I ate one mini Mounds bar.

Underrated - Take Five. Chocolate-covered pretzel with peanuts, peanut butter and caramel.
Best:  
AcidTest : 10/29/2014 3:55 pm : link
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Worst: Necco wafers. Somebody correctly compared them to sliced chalk.
I am actually shocked  
dep026 : 10/29/2014 4:02 pm : link
more people arent saying Kit Kat as their favorite candy. If God wanted to created the perfect candy - it would have to be a Kit Kat.

dont get me wrong, Reese PB cups are delicious, so are twix. But they are not on the same level as a Kit Kat.

Worst = Pennies / Candy Corn

eli4life : 10/29/2014 4:45 pm : link
Worst anything with coconut I just want to Ralph thinking about it

Candy corn are OK in small amounts but these are freaking awesome


One or two circus peanuts are OK one in a blue moon but never on Halloween
Best: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups/Nestle Crunch  
Maximus, Esq. : 10/29/2014 4:46 pm : link
Worst: Goldberg's Peanut Chews - I've never eaten dog shit, but I'd imagine it tastes like Goldberg's Peanut fucking chews

Tie between Snickers and Reese's

Worst: Good and Plenty

Underrated: Bazooka Joe!
Fooking love nestle crunch bars  
LPete : 10/29/2014 5:40 pm : link
Don't like- anything incredibly chewy cos I'm British, have fucked up, bad luck with my teeth. I had a Swedish fish the other day and a root canal fell out. That was one crunchy fish.
Never really liked peanut butter cups  
LPete : 10/29/2014 5:41 pm : link
But had a butterfinger peanut butter cup yesterday and it was pretty damn good
