Halloween Candy That May Scare You
When I was a kid a neighbor we nicknamed the “Banana King” would hand out bananas every year on Halloween. Bananas? On Halloween? Was he out of his mind?
Thinking back, even as a kid, I’d much rather eat fruit than most of these “treats” compiled in this list of the 9 Grossest Kinds Of Candy No Adult Should Give Out On Halloween.
Truth be told, I kind of like those Necco wafers. And why in the world weren’t Marshmallow Pumpkin Peeps on the list? Why couldn’t they leave bad enough alone and manufacture them solely as Easter chicks? Anything else missing?

brex commented on Oct 28 09 at 1:53 pmWhat were the ones that come in either a black or orange wrapper? Mary Janes? I always thought those were the worst. Most of the ones of that list were what we called “daddy candy” as in, your dad could be counted on to eat them because no one else would.

patricia commented on Oct 28 09 at 3:45 pmI LOVE fruity flavored Tootsie Rolls! Circus peanuts, on the other hand, are barftastic. And what’s up with leaving off black licorice but including gum drops?
GP commented on Oct 28 09 at 3:54 pmlet’s keep it simple and say “chocolate, please” anything else can go…when we were kids Dad ate the dark chocolate, if we got any from the mix bags…and Dad liked Good N Plenty…which we hated
Ri-chan commented on Oct 28 09 at 8:56 pmI’m giving out hot chocolate packets this year…
Anonimon commented on Oct 29 09 at 8:09 amI question why so many candies are now interactive. When I was a kid, the candy was the treat. It didn’t have to also do something.
