Just reminded of that one bit Jerry Seinfeld would do about the crap Halloween candy he got as a kid, things like the "orange marshmallow shaped like a peanut." So what did you dread seeing?

I hated seeing Butterscotch.

Bit O Honey and DOTS. Those were the ones i hated the most. Or anything involving candy corn and peanuts. Blech.

Anything that isn't sealed.

As a kid, I hated getting fruit and other healthy crap.

I said this in another thread, but I got a calculator one time. Only had basic functions, and still pretty damn crappy. Wouldn't giving candy be cheaper?

Butterscotch is delicious, but it is a pretty lame trick-or-treat candy.

Black Licorice

(As an adult, I either give out only black licorice, or I put out an empty bowl that says "take one" on it) I'm an ass

When I was a kid, the most unsatisfying candy to get were those STUPID black and orange taffies.

"Trick Or Treat!"
*dumps a few black and orange taffies into bag*
"Yeah, thanks, I'm totally gonna go home and unwrap these confectionery pieces of shit."

Both of those were yummy!
I never liked those peanut butter-like ones in the plain black or orange wrappers.

I'm trying to remember the name of it ... it is gum that looks like chicklets, but is pink and tastes like soap ... :|

edit: Thrills ... nastiest candy/gum ever.

My husband bought a 10 pound bag of assorted candies to give out tonight... none of the candies are anything we like. He says our Halloween will happen tomorrow when all the good chocolate goes on sale. :)

Can you imagine being a child trick or treating,going up to the door,ringing the bell and having Red Dawn appear? lol!!!
