Halloween Candy Survey!

Think back to your trick-or-treating days, and answer these three questions:

1) When going door to door, what was your #1 favorite candy to get?

2) What was the weirdest thing you ever received while trick-or-treating?

3) What frequently-distributed Halloween candy did you just outright hate?

My answers:

My favorite candy was really a tie between individually-wrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and those fun-sized Snickers bars, but if pressed, I think I’d have to give it to the cups. Mmmm.

Weirdest thing? Our next door neighbor used to give out loose change (nickels or pennies), but she’d wrap each coin in an almost obscene amount of scotch tape. To this day, I have no idea why she did that. Other neighbors sometimes used tape to string several coins into one manageable unit, but this woman was literally wrapping them individually. It was bizarre.

And as for a common candy that I just plain hated, duh, Mary Janes. If you want a harder answer, I’ll admit that I’ve never liked black Twizzlers, and still can’t eat them to this day. (Seriously, I’ve been on this planet for decades, and I’ve still never eaten one whole black Twizzler.)

Your turn!
