In-N-Out 60th Anniversary Promotion a Hoax
In-N-Out rules, as far as chains go. Simplicity is the key. Also, the well-done fries are awesome.
Carl's Jr. doesn't hide the fact that they think you are too stupid to cook - witness the guacamole commercial.
They are just flat out trying to kill you with most of their food anyway. That diner-breakfast-on-a-bun thing was a good example.

Candy corn by itself isn't great, but paired with peanuts, it's pretty good. Kinda like a Payday bar.

So I'm guessing this was all filmed before the whole Robertirvinegate scandals? I didn't think Food Network was all that fond of him these days.

Candy Corn: Anti Stance
By itself, I don't care for candy corn. But mix it with salted peanuts, and that's surprisingly good.

jobug_tincher: You can have 'em. I always thought the buttered popcorn jb was vile. Can't imagine "booger" would be a great replacement, though.

I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.
However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco
Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK

If I didn't live in an apartment building with no kids in it I'd be giving out and full sized candy bar AND a red bull to every kid. HAHAHA!!! HALLOWEEN IS FOR KIDS! SUCK IT PARENTS!

if you lived in a wealthy neighborhood you'd know that the richest homes generally give the worst treats. in fact, sometimes they even post armed guards to keep the kiddies away.

Necco wafers aren't chalk for chrissakes...they're just DUSTED with chalk! Once you suck that off, they're mighty tasty...especially the ones that taste vaguely like clove. Who's with me???!!!

Necco and tootsie rolls are my favorites...

i gauged my take on halloween on how many smarties I got - the more the better! Neccos and smarties are not the same thing... I'm with you on the candy corn though - in all its forms including those little pumpkins

Mounds and Almond Joy have GOT to be put on the list! Giving coconut to a child is pure torture, IMO. Worse than fruitcake! Last year, I took my daughter to a house where the family was leaving to spend the rest of the evening taking their small children trick-or-treating. The man said, "We're leaving. Want the rest of them?" and proceeded to dump a large bowlful of Almond Joys into my daughter's bag. Ewwwwww! Each year, my kids give all of their Almond Joys and Mounds bars to our hairdresser because she's the only person we know who likes them. This year, she's dieting. Do you suppose any of our our local homeless shelters would want them?
The Jesus pamphlets really cracked me up. We live in the Bible belt. One year, someone handed out play money with a picture of Jesus on it. My son was 3 or 4 at the time. When he pulled it out of his candy pile, he said, "Look, God money!"
My husband thinks it's mean to give a kid Cinnamon Red Hots, too (and he likes spicy food!).
Whatever happened to Zots, Marathon Bars, Bubs Daddy? Are Slow Pokes and Sugar Daddys the same thing?

I must say, whatever one thinks of candy corn in reality, those imaginary candy corn illustrations are amazing.

Tootsie rolls are delicious and do not belong on this list.
I can agree with the rest, kind of, except for the fun sized candies. No, they are not a fun portion, but they are delicious! And honestly, what are we to expect as free hand-outs?
Candy Corn: Anti Stance
As a kid, I used to break off just the white part from each piece. This was the only part I'd eat...Maybe I thought it was the most "natural" because it wasn't dyed (my mom doesn't eat the blue m&ms for the same reason--she thinks they're too "unnatural"-looking).
Now I can't stand to eat candy corn. What's even worse are those nasty pumpkins that come in the mix (although I used to bite all the stems off of those when I was little, too). I'm glad I know better now.

Erin totally won this argument....candy corn is repulsive!
Candy Corn: Anti Stance
I wasn't expecting this from someone who was photoshop'd into a picture with giant candy corn.
@FoodBully: my brother and I once tried to eat wax lips that we got. We thought it was some kind of weird candy that you could use as lips...then eat. Much happier eating the candy corn.
Candy Corn: Anti Stance
Preach it! Fall deserves so much more! Wax is not a food and neither is candy corn.
Candy Corn: Anti Stance
How dare you disparage candles that way! They are delicious. How else could you explain wax lips at Halloween? Maybe you just need to try one of the many scrumdidilyumptious flavors at Yankee Candle. I think they even have a candy corn flavor. Yum!

I love fun sizes...that's the best way to get lots of different candy bars!!

I have always loved Necco Wafers...AND Bit O Honey! My favourite though, was Sugar Daddy's and Sugar Babies. Licorice nonpareils as well. I still make caramel apples, they are wonderful. I'm addicted to anything caramel. We usually have a party on Halloween, and invite the kids and the parents. We make up a 'goody bag' of candy for each child, and send a plate of cupcakes, cookies (All decorated for Halloween) and caramel apples home with the parents. Everyone has a great time, and the parents know that even the homemade goodies are safe. (We also serve 'real food' before distributing the candy and cookies.) In my opinion, these days parties are a much safer alternative for the children.

In Canada we call Smarties Rockets, equally as unpleasant. Smarties here are like M&Ms.

does anyone else absolutely love caramel apple pops??

How did this strange custom originate? Unfortunately, we have this kind of dross over here in the UK, but I still don't know how it came about. Can anyone enlighten me?

What's with Tootsie Rolls being on this list?! Last year we moved to a very, very small (population 1,600 people) rural Mid-Missouri town just before Halloween. We had no idea what to give out. We bought the Child's Playtime Candy, which includes Tootsie Roll Juniors, Tootsie Roll Midgets, Tootsie Roll Snack Bars, Tootsie Roll Fruit Rolls, Tootsi Pops, and Mini Dots. You should have heard the excitement when kids saw our stash! Kid: "Oh, wow, look at all the Tootsie Rolls. Can I have one big one or two little ones?" Me: "You can have both." Kid: "Really? I can?" Me: "Sure." Kid: "Oh, thank you lady thank you." Other kids: "I want one of the pink ones, a green one, and a dots. Can I have that many?" "Tootsie Pops! Yaaayyy!" They loved it all! When the number of kids slowed down, we were giving each kid up to five pieces. We heard from the neighbors that we were the biggest hit on the block! So we're doing it again this year.

What about root beer barrels, bottle caps? Yummy. Worst candy.....Nerds

I don't like necco wafers...although they double nicely as driveway chalk.
Love Smarties, candy corn and Tootsie rolls.
Peeps? No. Although they do interesting things in the microwave.
Worst treats? Apples, popcorn balls and peanuts
Favorite fantasy hallowe'en treat...scrambled eggs and a six pack of beer a la "The Cone Heads"
My Dad gave the neighbourhood ne're do wells each an onion one year for hallowe'en.
Best hallowe'en. We moved from nowhere to a big subdivision. We were like the village idiots let loose in the King's pantry. Two pillowcases each. I remember tossing my clothes out of the bottom drawer of my dresser...and filling it with candy and chips.
I only get about 5 kids that are little so I make up lunch bag sized treat bags for the early birds. The teens get handfuls of candy from a bowl.
