The Halloween Candy Poll: Got a favorite?

[Oliveloaf]

This list is per Lycos.

Which is your fave?

[Oliveloaf]

I went Baby Ruth. Snickers are dandy, too.

Surprised that the single Reese's cups weren't on the list. My kid got about a dozen of those delicious bad boys.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

I love Snickers, and my kid doesn't like them. Sadly, I don't think he got one this year.

I blame nut allergies.

[Oliveloaf]

Sour Patch stuff blows, BTW.

[Oliveloaf]

Interesting that Almond Joy made the list, Mounds did not.

[Orual]

The absence of Butterfinger on this list renders it completely null and void.

Hey, yeah. Butter Finger should be on this list. Sadly, it seems t have fallen from grace.

Yes, I noticed the lack of that one and peanut butter cups. Those are my two favorites.

[Oliveloaf]

I never think I want Tootsie Rolls, but I can narf a dozen at a time, no sweat.

[Oliveloaf]

The Snickers loves should come as no surprise to anyone.

[Marsilia]

I voted Reese's Pieces, mostly because I'd prefer Reese's Cups or Peanut Butter M&Ms.

Peanut Butter M&Ms rule.

For me, candy kind of begins and ends with Snickers. Most other stuff I can take or leave.

Although I do kinda like the "sugar" candy, like Smarties and SweeTarts, as well.

[parzival]

True story: Necco wafers almost killed my sister.

Where are Smarties? Nerds are good but Halloween makes me think Smarties. (Also, I don't know what Razzles are but they sound good. I like fruit-flavored candy.)

[Elendil's Heir]

OK, parzival, you can't say something like that without telling us the story.

I voted for candy corn. I like just about all the other candies on the list except Tootsie Rolls, which I never really cared for.

Yes, teach us how to use Necco Wafers as a lethal weapon.

[Sarahfeena]

Candy Corn is good, too, and fun due to it's non-existence for 11 or so months out of the year.

[parzival]

Well, it's actually not all that complicated to weaponize Necco wafers. You'll need a not quite three-year-old child. And an older brother (not me) to deliver the throat-clogging colorful yet tasteless tablet.

For this story to have a happy ending, add an aunt (especially if she's an RN) to dislodge the object.

Ever since then (well, since I came along later, I suppose it was ever since the story was told to me) I've always felt a little wary of the deadly discs.

By the way, I'm glad people are expressing their love for Candy Corn! I like it too, but most folks I know say they hate it.

[Oliveloaf]

Ah. There are no 3-year olds I want to eliminate right now. But if I do, good system.

[Peeta Mellark]

I voted for Snickers.

[Nrblex]

Ruth...Bay-bay!

[Oliveloaf]

Ruth...Bay-bay!

Better than Snickers, I say. Way smaller ad budget, though.

[Inner Stickler]

I don't care for candy corn at all. I feel like I'm eating solidified corn syrup. I voted for snickers but my heart remains with Kit Kats.

When I started out on my candy journey as a wee one, I only ever ate 3 musketeers. I felt they were the purest candy bar with nothing but fluff and a chocolate sheath. But after a while, I started to find them so sweet and cloying so I switched to milky ways because the caramel provided a texture difference that I enjoyed. And a few years later, I gave up on milky ways and switched to snickers because the peanuts seemed to round out the candy bar experience. Basically I like my candy bars to be chock full of stuff.

Pretty sure you are.

[RabbitMage]

Ooh, candy corn. How delightful! Corn, that tastes like candy!

....SON OF A BITCH.

Ahem. My preferred candy (Twix) is not on the list. So I went with M&Ms.
