This one is for the kid in all of us.
The list is far too long.
- Apples.
- Mints.
- Those various “old person” hard candies.
-
Tiny bags of chips and mini chocolate bars!
- Raisins. What kind of child wants a healthy treat?
- McDonald’s coupons for ridiculously small portions.
- Toothbrushes. Seriously?
And finally, the most polarizing of them all: candy corn! Some kids, like my daughter, love this stuff, but Google “crappy Halloween candy” and it makes every list, every year.
When you’re a kid, trudging from door-to-door on a cold night, in a hot costume, these are the last things you want to see!
Nonetheless, they still wind up in distribution every year, only to be discarded November 1st, the same day the people who gave them out are cleaning the eggs off their windows.
Mix the candy corn with some roasted peanuts and you have an awesome snack.
But people who give out toothbrushes should really have their own colony somewhere.
They definitely should be relocated!
Those treats are so crappy, it almost becomes insulting that they qualify somehow as a treat. Candy is candy dammit! I hate candy corn – too sweet but I love a few people that love candy corn so I forgive it for existing. Cheers!
You’re very understanding! Have a Happy Halloweeen!
Hahaha. I am assuming you are NOT one of those vendors of the candy corn!!! I love them as a treat if I buy them myself, but I really do not want to see them in my Samhain basket, as I collect treats from the neighbors.
My daughter LOVES candy corn!
