Atlanta Cracker Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 What was your favorite and least favorite items to receive? Best: One house always had full size Snickers bars. That was the bomb. Worst: Apples - even if I did want them I couldn't eat them since they might have razor blades stuffed inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best- twix Worst- sweetarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Worst = Raisins Best = Anything but raisins E2A: Worst- sweetarts. I always liked getting the occasional bag of Sweetarts on Halloween, as long as it was the bag of normal Sweetarts, not those oddball giant individually wrapped ones that looked like a urinal cake.

skylive5 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best - One house gave everyone a quarter. That got you into the Sat matinee! Worst: "Apples - even if I did want them I couldn't eat them since they might have razor blades stuffed inside!" That was a problem when I was small too.

SteelBunz Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Worst = Raisins Best = Anything but raisins Worst: Anything 'gummy'....bears....worms....egads, those things are disgusting. Best: I'm with AC.....if you got a full sized Snickers, that was gold. But one particular best was from a lady who didn't have a light on outside, and looking back on it, I'm sure she didn't think anyone would come knocking. But when I did, alone, she gave me this beautiful tin of French lemondrop candies. I thought it was totally cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best - Reeses Worst - coconut chocolate cups What really got to me is that they looked alike on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Worst: candy corn, black licorice, candied apple, or a sucker Best: baseball card, pop rocks, snickers, reeces, or any other candy bar Edited October 31, 2011 by Riffraff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I always loved Dum Dums lolipops, Kit Kats, and any Jolly Rancher candy Hated black licorice. Edited October 31, 2011 by slambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Say whaaaa??? Almond Joy is delish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Say whaaaa??? Almond Joy is delish! Yes they are. And I can't believe only rifraff mentioned candy corn. That stuff has to be the feces of some small, blighted animal. Blech. But my fave, as others have said, is if you happened to get a full-size snickers. Stick that sucker in the freezer and have it for breakfast the next morning (Mom would only let me get away with that on Halloween and Christmas until I got older. She wouldn't even let me eat a spoonful of cool whip. I had to have jello or pudding or pie or something to put it on. I think my Mom might be the long lost sister of TimC's Dad). Damn that's good!

detlef Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Worst: candy corn, black licorice, I was going to say candy corn, but black licorice is right up there as well. That's not even something I ever grew into liking. Best was a butterfingers, but any candy bar would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 What was your favorite and least favorite items to receive? Best: One house always had full size Snickers bars. That was the bomb. Poor kids. Seems Halloween went way downhil not too long after we grew out of it. There were none of these lame mini-size candy "bars" then, all you got were full-size bars. And we walked for blocks, without parents. Nobody was freaking about psychos kidnapping us or razor blades etc. Oh well. Anyway: Best - any candy bar Worst - anything coconut or licorice. Oh and once some lady gave out toothbrushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayItAintSoJoe Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best - Any full size candy bar Worst (that I immediately discarded) - apples Worst (that was the last thing remaining in my candy stash and usually lasted till mid November) - Candy Corn Honorable Mention - McDonalds Halloween Gift Certificates. Unlike today, when I was a kid going to McDonalds was a treat. These certificates made it easier to convince the grown-ups to take you there.

Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Loved Snickers, Butterfingers, Baby Ruth Bars, and Hershey Bars. M&M's were always welcone. Popcorn balls were all right by me. Sugr Babies were my favorite. Could not stand Good and Plenty. Nasty taco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Caramel Twix and Snickers were/are the gold standard. Other big name chocolate bars are up there, including Mounds/Almond Joy. Always loved Sweetharts as a complementary sour for all the sweet chocolate. Hated the rock hard, cheap bubble gum. Never mind the dentists that handed out tooth brushes and floss.

twiley Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best - Any candy without a political agenda Worst - Campaign stickers and free-trade chocolate with a flyer attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I always loved (and my kids do too) those houses where the owner wasn't home but left a big bowl of candy out front for the kids. Just a matter of luck if you got there before the bowl was cleaned out 'cause it would go quick. And specifically: Twix, Milky Way, 100k Bars, Snickers, and Heath Bars are my favorites. Don't at all care for sour stuff so that kind of stuff is my least favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't at all care for sour stuff so that kind of stuff is my least favorite. I like when kids do the right thing in this situation and just take one of 2. My wife leaves a bowl out once she leaves the house with the kids for the day Unrelated side note: Is this day torture for anyone else aside from us because our dogs go insane every time the bell rings ? I love Halloween and so does my family but that is the one thing that drives us crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Instead of giving out candy, I do a little dance and bust out a really phat rap that I wrote about staying in school and off drugs. The kids really don't seem to care for it, but it's important that they get that message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
