The dentist’s house handed out toothbrushes. Which actually was really thoughtful and appreciated by the poorer parents
imagine the ruckus if he’d handed out something with fluoride in it
Like toothpaste?
Like hydrofluoric acid disguised as ketchup packets?
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
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!
If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”
Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper
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’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
That gave me the idea to toss in a coconut or two into bags this year. I’ll reserve those for the “kids” that are obviously too old for this stuff.
I do full size candy bars, but I’ll also drop a handful of loose candy corn instead into the bag of someone who’s clearly too old.

I loved those.
That shit was my jam when I was a kid
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.
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.
Man those parents don’t know shit - you were a Hallowe’en hero
oh man pixie sticks are like summoning a demon
Best: Good candy corn
Worst: Bad candy corn
There are tiers of candy corn?
I think it just boils down to softness?
I prefer a mohs hardness test followed by gram stain, but boiling is a good method too.
If all else fails I just bite a sample to confirm my teeth can dent it
What I don’t understand about those garbage molasses candies is who buys them and why? At this point they’ve been the most hated candy for decades.

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).
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.”
Glow bracelets go super fast in my neighborhood. They even take them off my skeletons. Of course we do candy too.
Reese’s are trash but the rest is on point. Personal opinion obviously
Best: drugs
Worst: also drugs
I remember rediscovering Hallowe’en as an adult. Totally different vibe except definitely still hedonistic af
Best: Reese’s
Worst: Circus Peanuts
