Holloween Kandy

[honeychile]

Somebody actually hates Peanut Butter Cups? That's a first for me!

My family always teases me about how my elder brother told me that I hated Crunch bars, and being so young, I believed him, and gave them all to him. He has a bit of a mean streak...

I hated popcorn balls, or worse, apples!

Smarties make good poker chips, when you don't have any...

I don't think he was talking about Reese's...he was talking about those things that come in the wax paper that are either black or orange and look like carmel, but are actually peanut butter.

No need to worry anymore, as no one gives these out. You can thank all the loons that (allegedly) poisoned them for that.

Oh, okay. I like them, too. Like xo_kathy, there's very little candy that I dislike!

My mother always has them around in October. Not to give away, but to hoard - she LOVES them!

Several families in my neighborhood when I was little gave out cans of soda. That was kind of disappointing and heavy to carry around in your little bag.

I love the caramel squares!! mmm...
I'm not a big fan of chocolate (though I've been known to eat snickers). I guess I actually like tootsie rolls! Just not the tootsie pop (they take forever and I just want to eat them!!)
You know what I used to hate getting as a kid? Tooth Brushes!!! YUCK!! Many of my neighbors were dentists and I hated getting them because what kid likes to brush their teeth or even think of cavities whilst getting candy?

I kinda have a pet peeve against parents that drive their kids from door to door! As if kids aren't fat enough, let's drive them to stuff their faces with candy. If you need to drive to a candy neighborhood, park your car and walk with your kid!! It's one of the best memories I have with my parents is going trick or treating when I was little with them.

this is the first halloween since i found out i'm allergic to chocolate, so, I guess my favorite is blow pops or smarties or uh....juji fruit

I don't remember not liking any of my candy either.

This is kind of off topic, but if you mix candy corn and peanuts together, they taste like a Payday candy bar! Wonder if you added some Kisses (or maybe milk chocolate chips since they are smaller) if it would taste like a Baby Ruth?!?

Man you are lucky! I never got popcorn balls in my halloween trick or treating excursions but I would have LOVED to. Popcorn balls are great, especially when they're dyed bright orange with food coloring. And they're impossible to eat b/c of their shape and b/c the marshmellow and popcorn both stick to your teeth but they taste so good! Now you have made me crave one, I might have to go searching for them tomorrow!

Not meaning to hijack - well, I'm gonna do it anyway.

When did people start saying HOLLOWEEN instead of HALLOWEEN? Listen to the commercials on tv. That's what they say now.

Back to the original topic - I hate those orange and black peanut things too. Three Musketeers rule.

[Drolefille]

I say "Halloween" or "H-ah-lloween" but never "Holloween"

Whoever made this thread either can't spell or doesn't want to

I noticed that they were saying Holloween on the Peanuts Halloween special and tinydancer, didn't they make that when we were in elementary school?

But--Halloween is short for All Hallows' Eve--in some of my older Bobbsey Twin books they were still spelling it Hallowe'en, and that a is definitely a short a!

now: back to plotting how I will gank some chocolate out of my kids' bags.

I am blessed with a daughter who has a peanut allergy. That means I get all her Reese's, Snickers, Mr. Goodbars, etc. What a deal Unfortunately, she has decided she would rather go see Lemony Snicket in Ann Arbor this year than Trick or Treat, so no treats for me this year.
