Halloween Candy; the good, the bad and the ugly

[deadshank 24653]

Anything with razor blades in it or the toothbrushes and toothpaste the jackass neighborhood orthodontist would pass out to us kids.  What a jagoff.

Candy corn gets a bad rap. It’s not the best candy by any means, but it’s better than most people make it out to be. Plus you can make them look like vampire teeth in your lip. So, there’s that.

This always goes over well with the neighborhood kids.   

 

My little brother would have gone back and egged your house for those.

It's not a candy I can generally eat all day, but one or two is a nice change-up.

I rarely eat candy anyway, and candy corn is certainly not the best stuff out there, but it also wouldn't feel like October, without eating at least a few of them...

My kids prefer the pumpkins.  If I get the mixed bag and put them in a candy dish, within an hour all of the pumpkins will be picked clean out.

This sounds pretty goddamn awful.

That’s putridness right there. I am one who likes Brachs candy corn not the dollar store kind. Hot dog candy corn sounds like a war crime.

If you want parents keep their kids away I’m thinking candy cigarettes might do it. They are probably expensive nostalgia candy now though.

Amazon has them for less then a dollar a pack.   I may go that route this year.  In a new house so I can hand these out this year and never have to hande out candy again.

I'll admit, even for someone unabashedly loves Brach's candy corn, this stuff looks really grim. That said, I'll try them. Fucking A, man, Halloween candy season isn't far away now.

I had some saltwater taffy today. It was yellow, so I figured it would be lemon or banana flavored. Nope. Buttered popcorn. As the flavor hit, I was somewhat disgusted, then I ate three more pieces. Damn, that shit was good. 

[Texzilla58 4742]

The buttered popcorn jelly belly is the nastiest flavor of all excepting the trick ones like sweaty socks and baby’s hit diaper. Would not like it with taffy either as it rips the crowns out of my mouth.

[elfenix 34331]

popcorn flavored candy corn might be pretty great

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

Dude that posted the Twitpic above said hot dog was by far the worst. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

Mellowcreme candy (candy corn and all similar products) were a fave as a child, but I can only eat one or two now. Just too too sweet. I, too, love the little pumpkins at Halloween, and somehow my grammy used to find little hearts and arrows at Valentine's Day and put them in her candy jar.  (she was pretty old fashioned about stuff like that, but I have to admit, she was smart about it--if a relative said something stupid or offensive at a family gathering, she would break up the moment by passing the jar around because someone with a lemon drop or Hershey's kiss in their mouth is shut up for at least a minute or two and everyone else can move on to another topic).

The popcorn jelly beans suck, but this tasted remarkably like hot buttered popcorn. 

[Texzilla58 4742]

You never know. Buttered popcorn flavor is two extremes of horrific and ecstatic. No in between.
