Yes, I'm planning ahead, and I'm bored. All candy is minature sized. Money doesn't grow on trees.
I've also untangled the Christmas lights already.
Reese's Cups are the best!
I vote Reese's Cups. I usually buy those or Snickers cuz I like em the best and will be eating the leftovers. :cool:
I voted 3 Musketeers, one of my favorites out of all of them, though I don't often eat any of them.
Snickers and/or Kit Kats.
Reese's. No contest.
Americans are disgusting piles of lard.
I said buy all of the above, although I don't really care for Milky Way.
Peanut butter cups are superior. If not, you can always go with Kit Kat, Aero or Smarties.

Supposedly, they are the same but Bros taste a bit sweeter. They don't have as much of that tangy bit that Aero has.
I thought about smarties, but they wouldn't survive to beggars night. :Embarrass:

I'm told that many Canadian chocolate bars taste sweeter from their American equivalents as well.
Milky Ways but that's only because they aren't actually any good.
Keep the Reese's for you & your family
Carrot and celery sticks.
Nah, just kidding. Voted Reese's.

A lot of people expect candy from you if you're at home on Halloween.
While I do find going to adult parties tedious in the extreme (going to a workplace party full of accountants is an experience in itself), going a bit out of the way for the kids is alright.

I skip the former and I can't avoid the latter. Networking new paradigms, establishing lines of communication and all that. What is worse, I have two to go to. And I can't dress like Hitler to either one. Especially the accountant one, as the woman that runs it is a jew.

Marathons. :bowler: (sort of)
I must confess, calling something "Snickers" still makes me laugh. "Marathon" was a much more distinguished name.
My new candy bar of choice is Twix. Of the poll options, Reese's and Kit-Kat.
I forgot about those Hershey miniatures. :headslap:
Except those dark chocolate ones. What kind of retard kid likes dark chocolate?
All of the above.
And blah at American English.
Reese's because they'll get all squished by other candy at the bottom of the bag. Also PB & chocolate makes everyone happy.
I picked up a bag of about everything today. And had to sneak into the house to hide it from the twins and the preggo wife.
I did toss a decoy bag of Hershey kisses in to start a diversion.

Yes on Speesh. I partnered Show Me Da Money with Fireblade. A little poetic license, not that much.
Kit Kat or Snickers, Milky Way's too sweet and I don't know the two others. Also, you're all fat and I hate your holiday invasions. Let your candy stay, though.
Last year, I was totally unprepared. No costume and no candy for the 'treaters. Ended up running to the corner bodega at nightfall and buying 25 of their loosie "Now or Laters" for about 5 bucks. <_<
No kids knocked on the door, naturally. And I was stuck with all the candy. In case you don't know about "Now or Laters," they are best eaten neither now nor later but never. Rock hard pieces of gummy sugar garbage. :(
This year I'll have something ready, since I anticipate at least a few kids.
Halloween at 7200 feet is not usually a great evening for the kids. Here, they have the merchant's candy giveaway downtown that the kids do while still light out. Later, a few will show up, dressed in massive down suits over whatever costume they possess, to ask for candy, but very few.
Oh, usually Halloween is marked by an ice storm...
we won't be having the "Parade of Lost Souls" that we usually have on our street, this year. :( It's gotten really big as an event: 35,000 plus ghouls etc last year. So they are taking a year to find some corporate sponsors as our Premier has cut anything even vaguely popular in the arts or entertainment. Politicians continue to get raises and land developers get to keep plunging Vancouver into endless Olympic debt however.
BTW has anyone else noticed that Halloween hasn't really been for kids in many years?
In SF, Halloween started being about kids getting shot, so they shut it down. :(

I was at my parents for halloween back in the early 2000s and it seemed like it was all over by nightfall. When I was a kid I never went out while it was still light out. And all I ever got in my bag was poison snickers and feces brownies.

The night before Halloween is Devil's night, a time for petty vandalism. Or in Detroit, mass destruction.
Trick or treat depends on the local municipality. Mine is the 31st. My nephews had theirs yesterday.
Captains log: 3 of them, about 5 inches each and brown this morning. No Klingons near Uranus.
Devil's night seems to have passed the compound by. A couple of streets over, there are reports of car vandalism and TP'ed trees. The cat remains locked up in the garage for his own safety. He is not pleased and gave me a look that he'd like to cut me this morning.

We were out of six bags of candy and 36 popcorn balls an hour and 15 minutes into a two-hour stint. <_<
Our street is one of the most popular for people to Trick-or-Treat on. I guess word is out that the old people along the road give out the best candy.
Our street has a bunch of townhouses on it, so I would have thought it would be fairly popular - but I guess because we're directly off of a more commercial street and otherwise a bit out of the way we have never gotten many trick-or-treaters.
Our house is also quite a ways back from the street (100'?), so I wonder if kids didn't just decide to skip us even if they did hit our street, even with the hallowe'en lights up.
