Okay - this is a little off topic too. Does anyone remember ZOTS?They were this hard candy with fizzy stuff in the middle and came in strips of five. I used to love those but everytime I ask someone about them they look at me like I'm on crack.

Cool

I want a circus peanut. Or maybe two. I don't want to buy a whole bag though, because my body can't handle that much sugar.

They have those cute little snack size bags of Hershey's Kisses - why can't they do that with circus peanuts??

I like candy corn for halloween and twix anytime I am just a chocolate freak though so I'm not too picky when it comes to this food group!

AOPiLaLa---I just carved a pumpkin with a friend and we roasted the pumpkin seeds. Yum

Autumn Mix

Just saw it at the Target checkout line..wonder why, lol


It's got the candy corn, pumpkins..can't remember what else. I know in the past I think they had pilgrims or some other type of people, but I guess it would be politically incorrect now..no matter, they all tasted the same, lol!

This is going to sound kind of weird...

If you put your face in a bag of Halloween candy and breathe deeply, the candy has a distinctive smell that'll bring back wonderful memories. If you do the same with a bag of Easter candy, the smell will also bring on nostalgia but it's a very different scent! Duh- because of the different types of candy, of course, but I just wanted to point it out if no one had tried it!

I knew I was going to come off sounding weird on that! No, I just meant briefly put your face in the opening and take a whiff!

Why do they call the tiny candy bars fun-size? I don't think its very fun to get a fraction of a candy bar. I think it would be a lot more fun to have a giant one instead. They should call the little one "snack sized" instead.
Yeah good question. To me fun size is a king sized candy bar.

OK...that is hysterical. My mom is a teacher...so I can relate. On the beer note, Sierra Nevada, hands down...RE-PUL-SIVE....sorry for all the ale lovers out there. Has anyone ever had Black Star? THAT, on the other hand is, Faaabulous.

Oh yeah...candy was the topic, huh? So I am all about the sweet tarts and candy corn. The worst is when you get those generic little hard candies that you know came in the 10 pound for 4.99 bag. I miss trick-or-treating...thank god for chapter meeting and the 10000 cookies we get every week. Thank god for my metabolism....I swear I eat my body weight in food every day. Haha

First of all - Sierra Nevada is a solid beer - not as good as Guinness or Blue Moon, but a very good beer.

Now on the candy/Halloween note - first off, anything with peanut butter in it would be my favorites - used to eat those by the bag fulls when i was a chubby little kid. The best was, when I was really young, my grandma's neighbor gave my little sister and I toys - like stuffed animals, GI Joes, He-Men (greatest toys ever by the way, and He-Man the show was awsome), that kinda stuff. Really spoiled us when I come to think of it.

I love all candy around halloween time. My favs would probably be Almond Joys and 3 Musketeers.
