Posted November 9, 2015 Those nasty candies that look like salt water taffy from the outside, but aren't. Wrappers are solid black or solid orange. YUCK. Edit: These things: They're Mary Jane peanut butter kisses and have been the bane of Trick or Treat for decades. They cost like a dollar for a bag, and personally i'd lock my door and turn out the light if I were so poor or so cheap I couldn't give out something better. Ewwwwwww Share this post Link to post
Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Donut. A Donut. Typically people would enjoy that, but it was A) really disgusting, B ) I'm allergic to them, and C) It didn't even have a napkin, we were supposed to grab it with out bare hands, and who knows who has touched the thing, as it wasn't in a box. That, or a back to school coupon. Because... October is totally the time to give those out. Edited November 9, 2015 by EmmaD333 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) a piece of candy that tasted like sadness and looked like lemon drops (which i like) I know emotions don't have taste but every time i sampled it i got inexplicably sad and i kept forgetting they where sad flavored and thought they where lemon flavored (they where kinda a yellowish tan) and every time I ate it, I was sad for a few minutes. i still wonder what the company put in the candy.. i think it was a poor flavoring made to resemble pineapple but they are rotting in the dump now so i will never know Are you talking about Lemon Heads? That is a pretty much perfect summary of how I view those. As for worst: Definitely the bible. You cant claim you dont celebrate halloween, if you spend every single year handing out the pamphlets and mini bibles! Best: The neighborhood I went trick or treating in growing up handed out cans of soda, $1-5 dollars, king size candy bars. There were some houses only the adults got things at (a few of the neighbors would mix drinks for the parents, to "keep them warm"). About every 3rd house had a big bonfire on the driveway, some with smores. Very specific best halloween: As kids, we learned early that being the first group to knock on young adults doors, catches them off guard, and guilt trips them into giving you something they normally wouldnt, before shutting their light off. We got Klondike bars one year that way. We've gotten fresh from the store/freezer pies that way too.. Those of you that don't like Mary Janes (those black and orange wrapped candies) send them my way. They are my FAVORITE thing to find in my kids bags. I've only seen them for sale once ever. Before that, I just assumed there was some secret old people club that sold them. Edited November 10, 2015 by Thuban Share this post Link to post
Posted November 10, 2015 This didn't happen to me, but I had to share... On Twitter I saw someone tweet ran out of candy, giving out potatoes. She was holding up a shoprite bag filled with mini-potatoes. This gets the award... I think. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 10, 2015 LOL Thuban. Secret old peoples club indeed. You're like only the second person ever I've known who has liked those things and was under the age of seventy. I work around a bunch of elderly people and they just love 'em, along with horehound candies, teaberry gum, and creme drops. Ahhh, nostalgia! Share this post Link to post
