How do you fit candy in your mouth slot, anyways? :screwy:

My dad brought me some left over candy home from his hunting extravaganza... so I'm set for quite some time.

My hub had bought Reese's peanut Butter Cups for Halloween, and they are long gone -- but I AM sitting here with my secret stash of Hershey's Christmas Bells. :wink:

I just ate a piece of Halloween candy a behavior I haven't changed in 13 years. Now if I had eaten a piece of candy from Halloween 2003 it would have really been something to talk about. :-)

STOP SPYING ON ME.

My mother sent me an unlabeled bag of what was either Halloween candy or dog treats. (Bone-shaped.) Pretty sure she knows I don't have a dog. I supposed they could be cat treats. My cats had no interest in them, but that could just be because cats are snobs. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to eating random food, especially when it could be intended for pets, so it took me a couple of weeks to work up the nerve to try them. They do appear to be comprised of sugar and artificial color, so probably for humans. At any rate, I'm sitting at my computer eating what I hope is Halloween candy.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Let us know when the hallucinations kick in, Sorus...

For the umpteenth year in a row, Dam-sel, Menolly, and I had a bowl of good chocolates ready at the door on 31 October...and had nobody come by. We may have nibbled a few, but by the 3rd of November, the candy had been given away by the simple expedient of leaving it in office break rooms.

I don't really do candy. Let alone Halloween candy. What is candy anyway? Seems to encompass anything sweet? (The generic term for that here is actually "sweets.") :D

Sweets?

Imagine bite sized candy bars (which is what I have left over) or tootsie rolls or M&Ms or Milk Duds or you know...candy. :biggrin:

SD the same thing happend at our house. :cry:

Sorry Sorus. It was just a coincidence that you were eating candy at the same time. I originally started this thread in 2003. How little has changed. :D

No hallucinations yet. Much brushing of teeth due to gratuitous red dye.

Candy would be considered sweets, but sweets would seem to encompass things such as ice cream and pastries, which are not candy. Most varieties of chocolate bars, as aTOMiC noted, as well as any sort of mints or fruit-flavored candy that have sugar as their first ingredient and unpronounceable chemicals for most of the rest. (Yum!)

Yeah, sweets are chocolates and "candy." Not ice-cream or pastries or other sweet stuff. Just specifically sweets. :lol: Just a generic term for candy I guess. :lol:
