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?
