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...

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.

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 · « **Reply #4 on:** November 01, 2005, 04:24:47 pm »

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.

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

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

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!!!!!

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

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 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 02, 2005, 11:43:07 am »

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

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?

ChadTower · « **Reply #25 on:** November 02, 2005, 12:14:54 pm »

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

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

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

Stingray · « **Reply #37 on:** November 02, 2005, 02:09:54 pm »

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

ChadTower · « **Reply #38 on:** November 02, 2005, 02:15:43 pm »

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