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

I used to go to the LA Reader office on Friday mornings to collect my mail, then I'd stop in the chain drugstore nearby to pick up a piece of beef jerky, and a package of vanilla creme sandwich cookies, which I'd eat while driving to my day job. Not together, just back-to-back. Can't remember if I ate the jerky or the cookies first, nor why I thought those would make a good breakfast.

Frosty and Fries (not weird)

Dunking Chocolate chip cookies in Orange juice... YUMM!

Crisply fried bacon crumbled into GrapeNuts cereal that is sprinkled with white sugar or brown sugar and soaking in half-and-half.

I've read all of these and contributed a few and I would have to say that someone will come up with a spectacular, lasting combination that will go down in history like chocolate and peanut butter.
Let's don't stop here!!!!!

Cottage cheese and maple syrup - since I was a kid! Maybe it was my mom's way of persuading me to eat cottage cheese - I guess it worked! Pretzels (the saltier, the better) and bananas - don't remember where I got this one! Potato chips with pineapple cream cheese spread on them - college days craziness, but sooooo yummy! I guess it's the salty-sweet thing. One of the guys I went to college with used to lift up the top crust of his apple pie and pour on some ketchup! I thought this was really wierd and was too afraid to try it, but my sister worked for the Heinz experimental / developmental kitchens at the time and they tried baking apple pies with ketchup, so maybe it was more popular than I thought. However, it never went anywhere, I guess other people were afraid, too!
Anyway, this same guy also ate Milkbones dog treats, so there you go!

Left over spaghetti sandwiches.
It was more of a need than a pleasure. ha ha.
