My favorite topic. What were your fav/least favorite things to get at Trick-or-Treating? I’m a chocolate girl, so any candy bar was good for me. I like 3 Musketeers, which apparently people hate. Worst were those cheap little Smarties rolls.
Has anyone ever bobbed for apples in real life? You see it on TV shows where they’re practically drowning in a barrel. I have never seen an apple bob actually happen.

I've never bobbed for apples. If I went trick or treating, the candy that I would dislike the most would be the Candy Corn Pumpkins. I disliked the taste the last time I tried them. I wouldn't mind trying 3 Musketeers and I like the Smarties candy.

Least favorite was always non-chocolate, except for skittles or starbursts.

^ I don't care much for skittles. I prefer M&M's.

I want original Skittles back. I hate that they turned lime into green apple. I actually don't remember going trick-or-treating more than a few times. I do remember that the funeral parlor gave out full sized candy bars. Trying to lure those kids in, I'm sure.

I did apple bobbing before! It was a huge mess and I wouldn't do it again, but I had fun.

I feel like COVID frowns on apple bobbing activities now. Did you win a prize, or was the apple it?

The apple and bragging rights were the prize. I was like 5 so it was a good prize back then COVID probably killed apple bobbing officially, but I think it was slowly dying anyway. You have to be comfortable sticking your face in backwash and licked fruit.

The National Confectioners Association (didn't know that was a thing) did a national online survey to find the the most popular Halloween candy by state. This year's results were: Do you agree with your state? Here is the website that I found the article on if interested.

I never tried Sour Patch Kids. I imagine I wouldn't like it much due to it being sour. I looked up Peanut Butter Kisses and it's taffy. I think I might like it. I've never heard of Swedish Fish. I'm not surprised to see black licorice on the worst candy of 2021. There's supposed to be an ingredient in the candy that makes many people dislike it.

I literally just had a tootsie roll craving and bought a bag at Dollar Tree. Everything else on the worst candy list is gross. I’ve never had a Mary Jane or a wax bottle, but they look bad.
My state is Butterfinger bars. I’ll agree, that’s a good one!
Wait, edit: Candy corn is not bad. I like it in moderation.

I like tootsie rolls. I just don't like how they stick to your teeth and gums.

Starburst and Lemonheads? Um NO. I’m jealous of the states who voted for miniatures.

I've never heard anyone say Swedish fish is their favorite candy.
