Bugeater Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Best-Hershey's Miniatures Worst-Those nasty peanut butter things with the black and orange wrappers. And in a related note, someone on another board said that kids in his neighborhood also trick-or-treat the night before Halloween, said it was called "Beggar's night" or some ****. Anyone else ever heard of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else ever heard of that? Never heard of it...as a kid I remember having "mischief night"...it was the night before Halloween. We would terrorize the neighborhood. Favorite prank was to have two trash cans...one on each side of the street. String fishing line to connect them and watch the first car take 'em out...great stuff when you're a kid. I wouldn't be too happy today....LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Unless you get to Bernard Dufoux' chocolate shop in Lyon, France, I will go with Baci by Perugina. A close second are those chocolates made by Mozart. The worst are those Swedish Fish and strawberry Twizzlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. The "Elvis" ones with a little banana or banana cream in them are the best. Unfortunately Hershey only makes them sporadically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 My favorite candy is Bottlecaps, it's candy who gives a **** if it is healthy or not. If we wanted healthy we'd be eating salads and not Candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugeater Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Holy ****, I know exactly what you're talking about... nasty Mary Jane Candy UGH! I always ended up with so many of them. WTF! Heh, I had no idea they had a brand name at all, they always had the plain wrappers like some of them in this picture: I wish I would've known who the hell kept handing them out every year and I would've TPed their houses. They just had a nasty texture to them, I like peanut butter but those things were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Worst candy? Those Mary Jane things that come in the disguise of 37 different unnamed wrappers. Taste absolutely gross and I love my peanut butter. Best? Twizzlers, Nerds (Rainbow, if I might add) and Gobstoppers. CVS is awesome for carrying the big boxes of Rainbow Nerds and Gobstoppers for under a dollar each. Makes life livable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Division Marduk Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 best... chocolate with peanut butter.. anything reeses OR butterfinger crisps.. holy moses <---- most addictive. Agreed on the addictiveness. And we've now got the neighbours' kids hooked on CC. Worst? Bounty bars. Coconut is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarLady Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Right up there with Mary Jane's are Squirrel Nuts. I don't know if they still make them but they were horrible when we had them as kids (even the name is just so wrong - yeah, I want to eat some "squirrel nuts" ).

Bugeater Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 economy still must be realing as kiddos must feel it isn't worth anymore, no big bars no dice I still hand out full size Hershey bars every year. Although it helps that I usually only get a couple dozen or so trick or treaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Agreed on the addictiveness. And we've now got the neighbours' kids hooked on CC. Worst? Bounty bars. Coconut is just wrong. I absolutely HATE Bounty's. Ugh! I love M&M Penauts for whoever mentioned them and was always a big crunchie fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
