I love Circus Peanuts and Smarties. Boo this list!

What's wrong with Candy Corn?

What? No one likes pure sugar?

Whoopers was the worst. Stuff is horrible

My parents wouldn't let me eat candy corn they threw it out (because it's not packaged)

Favorite was Kit kat

Agree with Whoppers. Inedible!


I never understood why people wouldn't give the candy corn that was in the mini packages. Why would someone expect children to eat loose candy corn.
I am not sure what year though they began to have mini packages.



Back to the list.

Regular Hershey bars are my favorite candy. Tootsie Rolls are the bomb.

100% true with the full size candy bars.

That is true. I loved dog'n those. I ate them until I fell asleep.

Something about how chewy and easy to eat they are

Best: snickers, reese's

Worst: popcorn balls, apples

I don't care too much for it, but everyone I know likes Candy Corn.

I agree with Hershey Krackel at the top of the list though...<<

You know what I love? Halloween!!

this is hilarious..

I like Smarties too but can't stand Circus Peanuts.

I rarely buy candy but the last time I bought candy (other than for Halloween) I bought Smarties.

Aren't smarties m&m's in canada..? Had a canadian girlfriend who told me that everytime I had some.

Always dig the chocolate/peanut butter combos... So anything reese's.

I like bottle caps (actually only the root beer ones), and even better than candy corn are those candy pumpkins.

Boooo sugar daddies.


On a side note, not looking forward to Saturday with the rugrats ringing the doorbell while I'm trying to watch college football. Might end up leaving it outside with the "Please take one" note, even tho I know the Fatties out there are gonna grab a handful.

GAD!! Forgot about those things. Nobody ever ate that stuff. The dog wouldn't even eat it. A family of trolls used to pass this crud out every year. Then they'd yell at you if you stepped on their lawn.

tootsie rolls started in nyc on the roof of a bakery. still made from the same recipe today

Hershey Krackel ??? It's just a Copy of
