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!

On the first YouTube playback done at Angelino's, does anyone know the name of the first song played? I can't get it out of my mind!

I've been to the Organ Stop in Mesa a few times.
There was a Organ Grinder in Denver in the 70's and 80's. After it closed the building sat vacant for several years because its odd structure (to house the big organ pipes) made it a unappealing to other businesses, so it was eventually torn down.

It was located on the edge of a big strip mall that has (had) many Asian businesses--a couple of great markets, a bakery, a Pho place and two good dim sum places. Several of these have now been torn down to build a big, modern strip mall anchored by a Kohls.
Sigh.

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???!!!

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

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?

the only thing necco waffers are good for is roofing on gingerbread houses, the only other thing is, toothbrushees, at leest you have an extra???????????????? : ' ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

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.

does anyone else absolutely love caramel apple pops??

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.

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.

I had no idea so many bad things were given out as Halloween treats... Hmm... Candy cigarettes you say? I can see it now: Parents come to the door with the kids, I answer dressed in a bear outfit topped with a Park Ranger hat, and with a lit stogie hanging out of my mouth- Me: "Here ya go, kiddo, don't smoke 'em all at once!" Parent: "Did you just give my child a pack of candy cigarettes?" Me: "No, actually those were Marlboro Ultra Lights- I ran out of full flavors. Careful with those matches kids, don't play with fire!"
