Dentist Will Buy Your Leftover Halloween Candy
Like any good dentist, Linda King of Locust Grove, Georgia, is handing out toothbrushes and pretzels for Halloween. Additionally, as a godsend to parents, she's buying back candy after Halloween is over. For $1 a pound, she'll take kids' extra candy and send it to military members overseas through Operation Gratitude. Last year she bought back about 60 pounds of candy.
Imagine yourself as a kid. Would you sell your candy back to Dr. King?

I'd pick out the candy I want, then sell her the unwanted ones. I'm not going to eat them anyway. Might as well make a few bucks.

Oh I'd sell back the shitty non-chooclate candy for sure!

This type of puritanical attitude really irritates me. The 'ohmygod if kids eat Halloween candy/one cupcake at a class birthday party' obesity and tooth decay awaits them. Celebrate the holidays, eat healthy the rest of the year. Send candy to the troops, but there is plenty of chocolate and candy corn to go 'round.
And yes, I DO floss everyday, and I eat chocolate.

I'd sell some of the stuff on the gross candy list you guys posted. That crap just sat in a drawer all year anyway. Sorry, troops, hope some of you like taffy.

I had a friend who's dad was a dentist/orthodontist, and I remember at Halloween the "Halloween Fairy" would come and take his candy and leave a toy in its place.
