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.

Best: Reese’s, starbursts, Skittles

Worst: Those peanut butter chews wrapped in orange or black that have a weird soft but chunky feel that reminds me of something half digested. Anything healthy. Anything not candy (stickers, pencils, etc).

Glow bracelets go super fast in my neighborhood. They even take them off my skeletons. Of course we do candy too.

Came here to post unnamed peanut butter bullshit.

Like, our parents were supposed to look at our candy to make sure it wasn’t tampered with (urban legend), yet everybody looked at the unlabeled wrap job on those pieces of shit and was like “yeah, this def doesn’t contain a razor blade.”

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

Reese’s are trash but the rest is on point. Personal opinion obviously

I remember rediscovering Hallowe’en as an adult. Totally different vibe except definitely still hedonistic af
