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?!?

When I was little I hated Tootsie Rolls, but they aren't bad now that I am older. What I didn't like then and still don't like now is candy corn...can't stand the stuff!!

My absolute favorite "fall" snack mix is dry roasted peanuts, indian corn (the candy corn with the brown top, not yellow) and plain m'n'ms. YUMMY!!!

I hated Bit'o'honey. Blech. Otherwise, I pretty much liked it all. I'm not picky when it comes to candy!

This will be my son's first Halloween. He's too young to remember it, but we will take him around to 4-5 of our friends' houses that live in our neighborhood. I would be very weirded out if we went to other places and someone took a picture of him in his costume. Even if we knew the people.

That sounds so good! I think I need to try it!

Reachthe Limit...Halloween is my favorite too.

Your house sounds like I would have stopped a lot, like change costumes and get my pic taken again just to get more candy, i'm sure its a neighborhood thing and not as creepy as it sounds on the internet....if this was a conversation in real life, I doubt it would be creepy at all.

Anything chocolate was and is my favorite! Unfavorites then and now: licorice or peanut butter kisses. Gack.

And now our porch is all decorated with pumpkins and candy corn and we can't wait for tomorrow night! Not that we'll get to see many trick-or-treaters since we take our own kids out.

It's so weird that everyone has a neighborhood nut who gives out those tiny boxes of raisins. I thought mine was the only one!

I think taking pictures is also kinda weird? I would never allow my child to be photographed by someone giving out candy unless it was a neighbor I knew personally ... even then, nowadays you can never be too sure about even them

Probably for the same reason mine were deleted.

Thanks...if the parents were weirded out, I wouldn't see them again, but I do every year.

The GC troublemakers were just following AlfaFrog's lead when she was the first to call it creepy, b/c they start going into withdrawal when they can't cause trouble on every thread that anyone posts to. It's kind of like when one dog starts barking in the neighborhood in the middle of the night, the rest of them start to bark and none of them really know why.

They get their buddies who moderate the thread to remove everyone else's posts but their own, and that is why they post here and not on other forums, where the threads get deleted altogether.

Or maybe people agree that it's creepy and didn't read the other comments before posting. You don't have to agree that it's creepy but you know the parents' reactions to you and we're just reading about it. Even RU OX said it reads creepy.

Yes because I ALWAYS follow what "Alfa" Frog says

I just love how I get lumped into a group with such wonderful people--I feel special! YAY for me! lol. (ok, i'm not being sarcastic, i'm actually glad! lol)

I'm sorry I'll always find someone who takes pictures of children--"just because"--creepy. If I was to bring my children to your door, and you wanted to take a picture of them, i'd say no...plain and simple.

Don't come to this board...talk about your fascination w/talking pictures of little children, and then get upset when we say its "creepy." What else would we say? You know that you are not well liked on this board---it really is NO secret--so its not like we are going to be supportive of it.

Sorry, but it does sound really creepy, and I don't think I'd qualify as a GC "troublemaker."

I loved peanut butter cups and Mr. Goodbars when I was a kid - the really hard candies with the bee on the wrapper were my least favorite.
