LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What is/was your favorite candy to get when you went Trick or Treating? That is, when you got your giant "haul" of candy, what was the one thing you really wanted, or traded for with siblings or friends? Parents, what candy do you steal from your kids bags? (Okay, maybe not steal, but "test" for them? You know you do it!) What's your least favorite candy that you try to trade off, or just toss when you see it in your bag?

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 My favorite is Twix, usually. Skittles too. As far as my least favorite, I don't do nuts, so Baby Ruth and Snickers are out, but I could at least trade those for things that I liked. When it comes to candy that nobody wanted any part of, I'd have to say it's whatever these things are: Not sure who went to the store thinking these looked like something kids wanted, but they should be wiped from the earth. I also don't like Bit-O-Honey's or these guys: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 War heads, cry babys, sweet tarts, m&m, and last but not least snickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Does anyone else my age (mid to late 30s) remember when beggars night was banned for several years? I only got to go a few times when I was very young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Frisch's pumpkin pie, nuff' said! Usually I just snack on my own candy that I buy from Target or other places, like Brach's Candy Corn, and Sour Patch Kids. My least favorite is any licorice candy.

jdawg1998 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Reese's Cups - no doubt. I hated 100 Grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkman Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 For me, All candy was created equal, my taste buds don't discriminate. Looking forward to passing out candy, and eating even more. Though sometimes I wish more kids would take that candy before I'd eat it. Darn limited stomach capacity... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm not a big licorice person either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The one good thing about GatorGirl having a peanut allergy... ALL REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS ARE MINE!!! (well, I do have to share them and all other nut candy with Mrs. Gator, but still...) My least favorites have always been lollipops and Jolly Ranchers. Those were always the last things left in my bag as a kid, and those are the things I won't sneak from GatorGirl's bag now. Anything else that she has more than two of is fair game to me though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't like Bit-O-Honey's or these guys: Ah man I love those things (the orange and black wrapped candies)! They are like peanut butter chews or something, but I really do like them. I also really liked Bit-O-Honey when I was a kid too and still do. I remember going to the store and buying it. Maybe I'm just weird and like candy no one else likes lol. However, some of my favorites also included Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers! And screw the "bite sized" candy bars, give me the whole thing! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I live for Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy bars, Kit Kats, Skittles, M&M's, Nerds Rope, Nerds, and Reese's. On the contrary, I hate the people who give out Twix, mini-sized everything, Milky Ways, Snickers, Babe Ruths, fruits, toothbrushes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I would trade you for your Twix's, but the candy that you live for I like as well. Hmm, we've come to an impasse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think I can work this out; I trade you the best fruits and toothbrushes you have ever seen for your Hershey's and Kit Kats. Fair trade? I think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 PayDays! I love PayDay bars. And peanut butter twists! I never liked homemade popcorn balls when I was a kid, and I sure wouldn't trust them now. And did I mention PayDays? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't have kids, so there's no bag for me to sneak candy out of. However, I always purposely buy more Tootsie Rolls than I need to pass out because I love those things, especially the flavored ones.

The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yep. I also have a thing for vanilla Tootsie Rolls (blue wrapper). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My favorites would be anything consisting of chocolate and nuts (using the word "nut" very loosely) - Reese's cups, peanut M&M's, Almond Joy, and the old formulation of Mr. Goodbar. (Sadly, the latter is now "mockolate" instead of chocolate, as Hershey replaced cocoa butter with vegetable oil) I usually get a large bag from Costco and simply pick my favorites out for me to enjoy. (Mean, I know.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 But the dark chocolate version of Mr. Goodbar is still great, available only in miniatures. Terp, who loved chocolate covered peanut clusters as a kid, dished out by the ounce by nice old ladies at the dime store...and FRESH orange slices. Oh, my! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yep. I also have a thing for vanilla Tootsie Rolls (blue wrapper). ^ That reminds me of a picture I took, (I love colored tootsie rolls the green ones are my favorite) P7263423 by KIC-Original, on Flickr Frutiy type: Jolly ranchers, life savors, colored tootsie rolles, starbursts, and lolipops! (ectra...) Chocalate: Kit-Kat, Reese's Cups, Butterfingers, ectra! (pretty much anything without nuts,- ewwww) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 My favorite Halloween candy is definitely Airheads, while my least favorite Halloween candy has to be the notorious "Mary Janes". I mean seriously, how could you possibly call that 'candy'? It's terrible! Bleh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Does anyone on here remember "Marathon Bars" They were like DNA-shaped, chocolate-covered caramel ropes. They were too huge for beggar's night, but there was one lady in my trailer park up in suburban Detroit who would give us one of those, and one "Ike" dollar coin. The all-time fave was Boston Baked beans in the little boxes. Pure gold. The all-time least fave for me was the tooth-bending, individual Bazooka Joe gum, with stupid comics and gum that I swear could be used as reactive armor on a tank! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Reese Cups, Sweet Tarts and anything sour. I also LOVE the thing that most everyone despises.....Candy Corn. They also made great Road Cones for HotWheels. My least favorite is Tootsie Rolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogrmac Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The one good thing about GatorGirl having a peanut allergy... ALL REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS ARE MINE!!! My son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy earlier this month and I was pretty bummed about it... UNTIL NOW! (Still pretty bummed, but I can drown my sadness with chocolate covered peanut buttery goodness.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
