SE Staff Picks: Least Favorite Halloween Candy

I had a friend that loved Rockets but hated chocolate, and I love chocolate but hate most sugar candy. Halloweens were awesome in grade school.

Are Tootsie Rolls really that hated? That's what my mom got this year. Maybe that's why we didn't have anyone after 6.

What food smell do you hate?

Anything that lingers, especially seafood(!!!), coffee, curry, burnt microwave popcorn. Nothing terribly original but all quite horrid.

Is $5 Too Much To Pay For a Coke?

I don't drink alcohol and while it's not ideal, I can grin and bear $3.25 for a pop at the bar so I'm not just drinking water, especially when it is free refills. $5 for a regular bottle is definitely pushing it too far though; for that price I'd expect one of those Mega Gulp gallon cups. Then again, the more expensive sugary drinks are, the less people will drink, and that's a good thing, right?

Who Should Be on Reality TV: White, Steingarten, or Ramsay?

I find Steingarten pompous and gave up on "Chopping Block" after ten minutes. I am definitely a GR fangirl, but Fox's meddling - with most of their shows not just KN - has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll stick with The F Word and KN BBC. There's so much less DRAMA!!! and more actual food.

You live where?

My husband and I live in downtown Calgary, Alberta but we're from small towns a couple hours north of Toronto.
