BillsPride12 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 What were your favorites when you were a kid and went trick or treating? Reese's Twix Snickers But I also used to love getting the random sour candies like sour patch kids or skittles and then the random, unique candy you didn't see on the regular too often was always exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Milky Way, Snickers, and 3 musketeers. Any one of these will do. If I have to pick one, it would be 3 musketeers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny I left Milky Way off my list because that was actually my all-time favorite Candy Bar as a kid but I guess I don't associate it with Halloween as much because I used to get them year round. I didn't call them Milky Ways though for awhile and now I can't remember what name I had for them when I was little lol. My grandma used to always get them for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Snickers Mallo Cups After filling up the pillow cases, we'd go to one of our neighbors who had a huge picnic table and deck area. There we feasted on DiCamillo donuts, hot chocolate or apple cider. Many candy exchanges occurred at this table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like candy corn, especially the mix where you get candy corn, Indian corn, and those little pumpkins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds. Full-size. (Whoever came up with the phrase "fun size" probably has a frustrated wife.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I wasn’t into any specific candy that much, it was more of a VOLUME thing. We would get pillow cases and garbage bags full of candy, stash them in some bushes and start filling up a new one. There was no way one person could eat all that candy…..and live to tell the tale.

That's what it was like when I was a kid too. I would start off trick or treating in my parents neighborhood, then my parents would take us over to both of my Grandmother's neighborhoods and we would go trick or treating all over there too with my cousin. We would have legitimately 3 bags full of Candy and would go back to my Grandma's after we were done and then we would count our stash and make trades etc. Looking back those are still great memories. I feel like trick or treating doesn't resonate with the younger generation the same way it did back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) almond joys. I would have said mallo cups but I don't think I ever got any in a halloween haul. I collected the paper coins to redeem for candy and spent every spare cent I had on them when I was a kid. Mallo cups omg. ♥️ @LewPort71 Edited October 30, 2023 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have diabetes from candy I got as a teenager. One of my bags I was carrying had costume items and I'd change and go back to houses giving good stuff and join other groups. Only one neighbor refused and I think it is because one of their kids snitched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Well, it's not Starburst. Taste great, but the side effects are horrible.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Good question. Personally, I eat way too much of the stuff mostly because it’s around. In reality I don’t actually like it all that much, but will mindlessly have a piece here and there. I should be better about it. I think skittles are likely my favorite. One of the many things I and Marshawn Lynch have in common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
