What was your favourite Halloween Candy?

[Jabba]

As a kid...

And more importantly, how long did it last?

Me? I liked those hard halloween taffy candys that were wrapped in orange and black wrppers. I tried to find a picture but couldn't. Don;t see them anymore... You know what I mean dontcha? the ones that pulled fillings out of teeth.

Usually, Only crappy yellow suckers were left after about a week and a half to two weeks. And that was usually after collecting two pillow bags worth. Usually was out scouring the neighborhoods from 5:30 till at least nine to ten o'clock in my later years...

Think I sent the dentist to the Dominican Republic a few years there...

Candy striper named Candy.

[Stingray]

Pixie Stix. The things are like legal cocaine. Oh, you mean I'm not supposed to stick the straw up my nose?

I think as a kid, regardless of how many I had, they would last about 30 seconds.

[Ed_McCarron]

30 whole seconds?

I just used to (well, still do. ) tear one end off, and tip the whole thing in at once.  The trick is to not let the end of the paper straw get wet, lest the sugar coagulate. 

[Stingray]

No, I mean the entire supply would last about 30 seconds, whether I had ten of them or 100. Either way, I'd snarf 'em down as fast as possible, then spend the next couple of hours zipping around like a hummingbird.

[Clonedsheep]

Yay for Fundips. Now I like more chocolate but will eat almost any candy out there.

[Stingray]

Yay for Fundips.

Those were awesome too. It's like a bag of pixie stix that comes with another hunk of sugar to dip in it.

-S

[duffjr]

i used to eat them all.  i was filthy.  i even ate the bad candies.

[missioncontrol]

another vote for pixi stix

[PetitMorte]

Pixi Stix here too!  Nothing like pure, falvored sugar to get you going.

Remember the giant stix?  The big, plastic 2-foot stix as thick as your thumb???  OMFG!!!

WAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!   

[Harry Potter]

I got no candy (slept right through Haloween) but I had fun trying to run some kids down a-la-GTA3

[ChadTower]

I never really went trick or treating, but for some reason my kids always get like 80% Skittles.

when I was a kid we took an extra mask and kept it hidden. whaen we hit a house that gave out "the good candy" we'd circle around the block change masks and hit it again.....

[ChadTower]

Ah, the houses where I spent the fall were always waaaaaaaaaaay too far apart to even think about trick or treating.

[missioncontrol]

the benifits of living in a small town

[Stingray]

I hate Skittles. What the hell are those things? It's like a chunk of too-gooey nasty disguised as an M&M to fool you into eating it.

Which brings up another topic. What's your least favorite halloween candy?

WO WO WO!  that's like a WHOLE BAG of bottle caps!  I always got a pack with 3 in it...and you had to HOPE one would be Root Beer!

[Jabba]

My three kids each got a CAN OF COKE!!!!! in their loot bag.

They LOVED IT!!! (they only get sodi pop from us on special occasions)

Anyone else ever hear of this before?

[ChadTower]

I like fruit flavored candy... chocolate makes me wish I had eaten something else.

Can of coke = forgot to buy candy to give out.

Actually, the same house did it last year.

Must be chaper than candy I would think, or the guy works at Coca Cola...

[Stingray]

Oh man, bottlecaps! That's another great one! I must reluctantly admit that I also like the boston baked beans.

-S

[ChadTower]

No one in MA gives out Boston Baked Beans.

[allroy1975]

I must reluctantly admit that I also like the boston baked beans.

WTF are you talking about?!

Those skanky looking rectangular sesame bars.

edit:

[Shape D.]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh  what the hell. that looks like granola.

Sombobdy's gettin' egged.

[ChadTower]

It's sesame seeds in caramel or something like that.

[Stingray]

Okay, I've never seen those sesame things. That looks like something you'd feed to the birds during the winter.

-S

[ChadTower]

They're okay, but taste more like health food than candy.

no, it's not uncommon, I don't let my kids drink sodas either.....

[Jabba]

Beer is OK though  Less caffeine and sugar

[Stingray]

Oh, another one I hate, those wierd orange corn looking things that taste like candle wax. I have no idea what they're called, but they are super-duper gross.

oddly enough: candy corn 

[MinerAl]

Sprees, or in a pinch Sweettarts.  Sweettarts were better in the little three pack, but a roll of Sprees was my favorite thing to eat all through junior/high school.

Somehow I wound up with type-II-diabetes... go figure

[duffjr]

candy corn, all flavors.  skittles, sour skittles even better, tropical skittles, starburst tropical starburst, reeses pieces (extinct), reeses peanut butter cups, boston beans (rare), snickers, milky way (dark sucked), 3 musketeers, almond joy, almond joy (red package), mars bars weren't that popular, mr. goodbar, nutrageous (later years), 100 grand (ok), m and m's (peanut or almond works) but i'll eat the peanut butter and original if they're around, kit katz, sweet tarts (i actually hated these because they would shove 100 in your bag and it would take you a year to eat that pure sugar), pixie stix were just sugar and a pain to open them all.  those are the main ones that i ate, one or two of each kind a day after halloween.
