Alright, y’all, maybe you can settle something for me.
I feel like candy isn’t as special to kids as it was decades ago. I think some toys might be better than candy – like mini Playdoh tubs, pretty superballs, decent quality pull cars. Not trash. Not half-cent plastic rings or such.
My husband, forever the ravenous teenage boy, feels that candy is sacrosanct. Even shitty candy is better than something creative. (Shitty candy isn’t even on the menu, but he DID once get carob coins on an emergency 10/31 dollar store run. They were awful.)
Bit-O-Honey
I don’t know if that crap is still handed out at Halloween, but it should be a hanging offense.
@werehatrack, I had a bit-o-honey shirt when I was a teenager.
@werehatrack Necco wafers.
@kittykat9180 @werehatrack Bit-O-Honey provided by youth dentists and orthodontists that need to keep the business revenue coming in.
Actually getting a crown, my dentist said to not bite into a whole apple or other fruit. Bit-O-Honey would definitely be inadvisable.
@kittykat9180 @pmarin @werehatrack or the Ginger Chew packing insulation Meh used to use
@kittykat9180 @pakopako @pmarin @werehatrack I always thought that Milk Dudds were the worst. If you try chewing them, they were sure to pull a filling!
@lonocat @pakopako @pmarin @werehatrack, I love milk duds.
I got a rock.
I’d rather get a toothbrush than candy corn.
@kittykat9180

(I still eat them, though!
)

I’m surprised the AI didn’t show The Slap.

Thoughts? Is candy required in a polite society?
@whogots @lonocat put out candy and Trakrs* and all the Trakrs got taken, so it sounds like you’re right!
(*And got goated for it, heheh.)
Chlamydia
@2many2no what candy did you eat to get that?!
