Haven't had 1 in forever, might like them now.

Trade ya, Deb, for gour popcorn balls! Love them!

Especially mushy ones with bruises

They go in the same category as peeps- nastiest sweet treat ever invented!

And Butterfinger. As a kid, I was never a fan of peanuts or peanut butter. Anything that was crispy and contained peanut butter or peanuts was right out. Clark Bars, which were manufactured in Pittsburgh, were always given out at Halloween. They all went to my parents.

There was a forest of cigarette butts mashed out in the peanut butter. Disgusting.

But I loved popcorn balls. There was a lady in my neighborhood that made them herself and handed them out on Halloween. I loved them.

awful.

Yuck!

My mother loved it. I'm sure she took every pack of candy corn I got. With my blessing!

I'd bring my Halloween candy home and dump it out and my mother would go through it, throwing out anything that wasn't wrapped and gum (I wasn't allowed to chew gum). Then I'd go back out to hit the next streets. This was baby boomer generation; EVERY house had their porch light on because they all had kids and we made out like bandits!

Sorry, Deb, my least favorite is a KitKat bar.

traded as kids.

just posted basically the same thing right after you!

How do you feel about black licorice? In my family the coconut people hate black licorice and the black licorice people hate coconut.

or sure did way back when

Though I haven’t eaten them in years.

You can have any of my candy that has no chocolate—Skittles, Starburst, etc. 😁

especially Almond Joy

Those stupid small christian comic books

but they do have a Harvest event where kids dress up as saints and angels.

That's my wife's least favorite.

I liked it, at least to shake the box and act like it was a train noise.

Yuck

I didn't like the consistency or texture, and it didn't taste good; which is a standard one would think a candy should meet before it gets marketed.

long time.

unless it was the red licorice. I liked that. Hated the black stuff and still do.

They didn't taste terrible but they were like chewing rubber.

ProfessorGAC,

No to licorice!!! :pushesitaway:

Like rocky road. Or peanut butter.

They're thin, about the size of a quarter in diameter, on a paper stick in plastic. The kind you see them give away at kid's doctor's offices. They don't taste bad, exactly; they don't taste much like anything. The red ones were usually okay; the green ones tasted like lime. The lollipops would be leftover long after all the other candy was gone.

My mom thought it was pretty funny, but I did not!

I think when he finished trick or treating he took over for his mom in dispensing treats. He put his hand in my bag when he put the rock in. It was the last house and I knew what was in my bag, so there was no doubt when I saw the rock that it was from him. Plus he was laughing. I probably wasn't the only one who got a rock.

...an impenetrable, sticky mess that cemented itself to your teeth, and when you finally broke through it, all you had was a dang apple.

Wax lips: Those were fun for about 5 seconds. After that? Inedible

Little boxes of raisins: I'm after candy, not fruit!

Gumdrops: Weird texture with a vaguely medicinal taste

Good & Plenty: I just can't hang with anything licorice

Necco wafers: Chalk dust and a little sugar formed into disks that looked like pastel Alka Seltzer
