I got eerily angry complaints from parents one Halloween after I gave out cotton candy “because it filled up too much space in their bags for something that would dissolve in their mouth all at once anyways as well as make them hyper as it’s just sugar”. Makes me wonder how they spent their evenings.
oh man pixie sticks are like summoning a demon
Best: Full size Snickers, Reese’s Halloween editions
Worst: Candy Corn and Circus Peanuts
First thing I thought of when I saw the post, and your comment was the first I saw!
Best: Reese’s
Worst: Circus Peanuts
Best: Subjective.
Worst: religous pamphlets proletizing the youth because the religous must target those without fully functioning brains lest their numbers dwindle.
I see no one has mentioned Swedish fish yet. Always felt they were so freaking waxy they tasted like nothing. Probably not the worst though.
I recently tried a “European” swedish fish by Kolsvart, and they are way better.
I’m sorry but propaganda does not technically count as candy.
To be fair I once got 5 dimes wrapped in a little black mesh thing. It was lame as hell, but they did make an effort so I didn’t complain. But even back in the late 80s/early 90s, 50¢ wasn’t really useful, even for a kid.
It’s candy for your soul, how about that?
I don’t but a close friend does. he would trade away coconut for it
Best: Good candy corn
Worst: Bad candy corn
Best: kit-kats, twix, heath bar, and the wee chocolates dark/light/crunch mix assortment.
Worst: banana laffy taffy, smarties
Also I freaking love black licorice and my kids do too but would never, ever dare hand it out, absolutely a trick not a treat for most kids.
I also love black licorice. Did we just become best friends?
Sir that is nasty

That shit was my jam when I was a kid
I loved those.
The best is almost always full size candy bars, though everyone’s personal favorites are different.
As for the worst, people might rag on the orange and black peanut butter things, candy corn, or circus peanuts. I personally like them all and I feel most of the hate is memetic.
The real bad candy? Peppermints. Even worse and strange? Peppermint candy canes.
Sure, I like them in December, but seeing those mixed in with other candy is an insult and reminds you of Christmas creep. It’s a breath mint. There might be one freakish kid who likes those hard minty disks of Christmas flavor around Halloween, but really, no one is excited about these restaurant give aways. Even hating on the candy you don’t like is part of the Halloween experience, but peppermint just feels wrong in a trick or treat bag.
I wholeheartedly agree on the peppermint thing
Best: chocolate Worst: raisins
Best: Reese’s peanut butter cups
Worst: Tootsie Rolls, they’re just wax with a slightly sweet flavor
you don’t look at wax and fantasize about chewing on it sometimes?
I love tootsie rolls. I’ll trade you.
That’s fair
Worst->Best
At least on the scale of what I’m handing out.
Had to scale it back this year only 43 lbs, probably only last about half the night.
MaryJanes. Should be outlawed by international convention.
Best: King size candy bars
Worst: Those little rock-hard peanut butter taffy things in the black and orange wrappers.
I fucking love those things
Best: full size candy bars Worst: US Smarties.
Can’t believe you’re the only person I’ve seen that has said candy Tums
