1. Circus Peanuts.
2. Wax Lips.
3. Sixlets.

Also, I was never too keen on receiving religious pamphlets explaining why Halloween was the Devil's Holiday, but they certainly made for sturdy napkins when it came time to feast on candy!

Damn, not enough kids this year so I'm left with half a bowl of candy. Not that I don't like candy but I really shouldn't eat it. I wonder where I can give this shit away now?

Here is a first: there was a teenage gal blabbing on her cell phone while up to the door for candy. She did say "thank you," which puts her ahead of every single person on a cell phone in any situation in the city I work in, but still. Sign of the times.

I had never heard of sixlets, so I went to the Internet for help.

Sixlets will melt if kept in a pocket for extended periods of time. Some prefer a slightly melted sixlet. Different colors have a slightly different taste from one another, due to their candy coated shells. In 2003, Hershey Foods Corporation sold their rights to the Sixlets brand name to SweetWorks, Inc.¹ On some variations of the Sixlets package there is a web address (www.sixlets.com). This address does not exist on the web. However, at one time, the site did redirect to SweetWorks' webpage.

Yeah, they sound like they really have their act together.

You know, I got pamphlets, but it honestly never occurred to me to read them. Not because I was too cool or anything, but because they were quickly discarded after dumping the plastic jack o'lantern.

To turn things around, here is my current favorite Halloween candy: the lemondrop. Closely followed by its hot bi twin, the Long Island Ice Tea. (In other words, I wouldn't enjoy either unless wearing a mask.)

Work seems to be the place to unload that stuff. There was candy out until mid-December last year. You'd think Colorado was ravaged by an outbreak of pediatric heart disease on the 30th.

What was Aardvark's costume?

Most memorable Halloween 2007 incident: very first group of trick-or-treaters. Kids say trick or treat, hold up bags/plastic pumpkins/pillowcases. Then there's Mom, who holds up a glass frosty mug and says trick or treat? I'm like, are you serious? Are you even of age? (Didn't recognize it was Mom under her veil). She's like yup, I'm their Mom, holds up veil so I can see her. I'm all, chianti or Bud light in a can? She went for the Bud.

Waitasec, the first thing on his list is circus peanuts, and not "any other substance in the world which would be more reasonable for you to enjoy."

I kid, I kid! This is cool, because much in the same way I (and Gerrit) are the only people to like candy corn, hygraed, you are the first person I have met that likes circus peanuts, my friend. And there is nothing wrong with that. We're learning lots about each other. The most I usually learn about people on Halloween is their puking point. (Works for downing too much candy, too much liquor or both.)

If the bunch of us were ever in a FedEx plane carrying Halloween candy, and it exploded, I think we'd all get along just fine. We seem that we will have ("seem'll"! NEW WORD) no problem divying up things when in this scenario. Unless of course we're on the "wax lips" airbus: that shit's nasty.

I like candy corn

What was Aardvark's costume?

It was one of the following. Can you guess?




Trick or treat with shot glasses can be fun if ones costume is adult oriented and very cool.

My friend and I went one year, this is maybe 1989, and he had the guy in the cage costume. I had the space aardvark theme. (looked more like pigs in space, actually) Only scored at six or seven houses but it was enough.

I work at home so it looks like I'll have this bowl of candy here till after christmas.

A few houses gave out miniature bags of chocolate covered coffee beans this year, which were haggled away from child to parent, I'd fathom.
