From the lens Bad Halloween Candy.

    Some great candy in here -as long as it isn't raisins. You do nothing for yourself or the safety of your house by pushing health foods on to kids on Halloween. Everyone knows the drill, don't deviate.

    I hate those black and orange packaged toffee things I swear they're made from molasses and broken dreams

    Love it, good choice on the circus peanuts, I'd rather eat Elephant poop too.

    No thank you on the circus peanuts.

    Candy corn is my FAVORITE!! I like circus peanuts too, but only in moderation as they are just so sweet. Neco wafers are good once in a while. You are hating on some pretty standard candies! LOL Yes, chocolate rules, always has, always will, but we've got show acceptance and love to the lesser appreciated candies. After all, they give all they have, just for our enjoyment. Still haven't bought my yearly treat of candy corn yet - have to do that this weekend. :o) You're probably not eating them properly. You have to consume them in exactly three nibbles. Hold them by the thick end and bite off the first color, then the second, and finally the last. Make sure their the real ones though, I've run into some impersonators passing themselves off as candy corn but were indeed not the genuine bonafide article.

    Great lens, love it!!

    I LOVE this lens, nearly as much as I hate candy corn (and that's a whole lot).
  • KimGiancaterino Oct 20, 2011 @ 12:12 pm | delete
    I used to give out quarters, but you can't even buy a candy bar with that these days. This year I'm giving out Hershey bars. No one ever complains about those. I love raisins myself!
  • kab Oct 19, 2011 @ 8:16 pm | delete
    Neccos are my favorite candy ever. (Except for the rogue chocolate ones.)
  • genglo Oct 18, 2011 @ 6:52 pm | delete
    Hilarious! Lots of bad candy there, but the Necco are the worst!
  • themeaparty Oct 18, 2011 @ 12:53 pm | delete
    Yeah, there's just some candy that only sells in October because nobody will eat it at any other time. It amazing how many millions of pounds of candy corn are made every year, lol! Thanks, refreshing lens.
  • lbrummer Oct 18, 2011 @ 12:18 pm | delete
    The M&M's are the only ones that look good to me----probably because they're chocolate.
  • HappySnappy Oct 18, 2011 @ 11:52 am | delete
    Bad Candy! Love it :D!
  • GypsyPirate Sep 19, 2011 @ 6:57 pm | delete
    I swear this is still one of my all time favorite lenses. I scare the cats every time I read it 'cause I'm laughing out loud.
  • Freaknoodles Sep 19, 2011 @ 7:59 pm | delete
    Aw, thanks GP. I think it's my favorite that I've made.
  • cuteordeath Jul 11, 2011 @ 7:25 pm | delete
    I like candy corn. :p
  • Sammy24 Oct 27, 2010 @ 2:34 am | delete
    Candy corn is awful. Your list is great. Nice lense.
  • JJNW Oct 22, 2010 @ 11:46 pm | delete
    Okay, CHRISTMAS Candy Corn = YUCK, but I LOVE regular Candy Corn - but ONLY in October. Maybe that is the key! ha ha. It's those yucky black and orange taffy thingys we used to send to work with my dad! He stuck them in the break room! ha
  • kimmanleyort Oct 19, 2010 @ 4:25 pm | delete
    What a great idea for a lens. And I totally agree that your choices are really, really bad. Why do we keep buying them? Happy Halloween.
  • WhiteOak50 Sep 14, 2009 @ 12:37 pm | delete
    This is cute! The one candy listed that I like is the marshmellow cirus peanuts?? Or at least I did 15 years ago when I last ate one.
  • JJNW Oct 22, 2010 @ 11:47 pm | delete
    I like circus peanuts too, as do my kids : ).
  • mukunda22 Sep 14, 2009 @ 1:13 am | delete
    Let's face it: Halloween candy really is bad, bad, bad!! Always after Halloween, people come to our Triage area sick to the stomach and other symptons not worth writing about here.

    But it's good while it lasts.

    Congratulations! You've been SquidBoo Blasted. Happy Halloween!

    All time worst treat? Pennies and change that Ijust throw away!!!
  • Matt Oct 30, 2008 @ 9:41 am | delete
    nice!
  • MEE Mar 11, 2010 @ 6:54 am | delete
    I've never gotten money. But I do like Necco wafers- to an extent- and I do really like REAL candy like the candy and of course the chocolate. Things like Dots and Hershey's are okay- things like Laffy taffy or non- penut M n M's are not as okay
  • bdkz Oct 20, 2008 @ 7:24 pm | delete
    Very cute!
  • hellfish Oct 11, 2008 @ 3:32 pm | delete
    necco wafers are my favorite candy. not snickers bar good, but they have there own, more subtle attraction for me. lay off the criticism or i'll have to place a roll of the treats as a suppository up your nougat.
  • d-artist Sep 2, 2008 @ 6:47 pm | delete
    yummy all that candy, but I eat Raisins every day...check out my "Sunmaid" lens 5*s
  • rsmith17 Jul 2, 2008 @ 1:41 pm | delete
    Great lens, love the humor in it. And Candy Corn should be in the same classification as Christmas fruit cake... non-food item that will last for years.
  • n32 Mar 2, 2008 @ 4:18 pm | delete
    Fun lens. Another addition: CHOCOLATE Necco Wafers. They take something great (chocolate) and something bad (Necco) and make a terrible concoction. Keep up the good work.
  • Pierce_This_2 Oct 26, 2007 @ 5:10 pm | delete
    I agree with you on the peanut candy, but I love to eat candy corn. It's news to me that they are undesirable, huh. How to measure a belly button ring size
  • GypsyPirate Oct 25, 2007 @ 9:57 pm | delete
    I LOL every time I read this lens - I should have known you'd like Lewis Black also! You have such a fantastic lens here! Thanks for joining us in The SquidBOO Home!
  • KimGiancaterino Oct 19, 2007 @ 2:02 pm | delete
    It's chocolate or nothing for me... Fun lens!
  • Pandrogas Oct 14, 2007 @ 2:50 am | delete
    This is great. I can remember most of those back when I was trick-or-treating. Another quick addition to the list: Apples. And not the good kind. The kind that people leave in the back porch for a month before giving them out. Ick. Keep up the great work!
  • SemperFidelis Oct 13, 2007 @ 9:49 pm | delete
    What a funny lens. I remember getting some of this stuff as a kid. As a matter of fact, I can still remember specific houses that always gave the 'bad' candy. lol Certainly *****
  • kerryg Oct 13, 2007 @ 1:55 pm | delete
    Hee! This is hilarious!
  • Susan52 Oct 13, 2007 @ 12:17 pm | delete
    So funny! (But I have to admit that I like Necco wafers.)

  • lizthefair Oct 13, 2007 @ 8:31 am | delete
    wow, this is excellent--although I really like candy corn and circus peanuts :(. You are right on about the necco wafers though..
  • clouda9 Oct 13, 2007 @ 12:16 am | delete
    A GREAT BIG 5...sorry for shouting, I was just so twitter-pated after LMAO!!
  • dougeby Oct 12, 2007 @ 10:22 am | delete
    Good stuff. Funny!!
    A fiver for sure!!

    LOL Rabbit-turd-shaped fruit! I love this lens! And I HATE those circus peanuts! Another candy I used to hate getting on Halloween was Maryjanes.
