Stick to the mini chocolate bars, then if you're stuck with them then it's a bonus!

I'll stick to whisky, thanks.

I too came up blank on local Candy Corn Oreos. I ended up special ordering them. I'm part hummingbird on my mom's side, but even I couldn't stand their extreme sugariness.

Is the Stranger Candy Control Board aware of Japanese Kit Kats?

I will do everything in my power to make sure that 2013 is the Year of the Circus Peanut.

The pumpkin spice Kisses were around last year. I bought them on clearance, and no, I didn't finish them either.

I don't think I've ever had a good Rice Krispy treat that wasn't homemade, not even the ones you can buy at a coffee shop. They never use enough marshmallow.

I used to like candy corn before they started cornholing it into all kinds of other things where it does not belong.

I am actually really confused as to how anyone thought there was any chance whatsoever that any of these things would be good.

When you buy crap like this it technically counts as 8 republican votes each time.

Walk 3 blocks to Central Co-op or a million little shops anywhere for good chocolates and candy that isn't made out of literal poison harvested by slaves, and doesn't taste like diabetes medication.

What is this candy corn taste that all the marketing keeps referring to? Candy corn tastes like corn syrup and food coloring. That's all. It's not flavored...
(not trying to disparage candy corn -- I love it, I'm eating it right now -- but really, guys)

@10 beat me to it. What is the flavor of candy corn? It's purely sugar (or, more specifically, corn syrup).

@9
Shitty mass produced candy sucks but that is a lot of hyperbole.

Thanks candy control board and Megan. This article made my teeth hurt. Don't forget to brush and floss. Brush and floss. Brush and floss.

@13 freesandbags: Ditto!

Carmel apple Milky Ways?!?--YUCK!!
I'll stick to my usual sweets and wait for the November sales.

I always give out dirty tooth brushes and empty beer cans.

To hell with it all… Theo bars or NUTHIN'

@15: What---no malt liquor and cocaine....?

Thank you for your snackrifice.

JAPANESE KIT KATS.

If I had the $, the GIANT POKKI stick boxes you can get at Uwajimaya would pretty much be rad to give out to kids. And are super tasty.

I'm very, very afraid of weird combinations like chipotle chocolates!! There's something really Rick Santorum / Todd Akin / Mitt Romney and his teabag puppet, Paul Ryan WRONG about that. The candy industry is slipping us Mickies!! BOOOO!!!
And bring back my fucking Mars Bars!!

just wanted to let you know that i hate you. when it comes to music taste, there are two radical ends of the spectrum. On one end, we have the uneducated, fanatic preteens who will unknowingly fall prey to the music industry's secret plan to destroy the world (aka Justin Bieber). But they are too young to know better. You, on the other hand, are part of the opposite end of the spectrum. after becoming disillusioned with commercialized pop, you took it upon yourself to hate all bands on a major record label. i'm 19, and I used to love Seattle. well... i still do. but recently, i've become more aware of your type. you guys make me sick. i can't even listen to my music without getting bashed on. I can't even play the guitar without getting bashed on. do you know why bands like RCHP sold millions of records, while the hordes of indie bands based around Seattle won't. it's because they had talent. they cared about the music and not what others thought of them. they had soul, unlike the crappy, pseudo-folk bands who bum around Seattle playing three chords on an acoustic guitar. but really, i don't actually hate you. i don't even know you, and i can respect that musical taste is personal. so maybe you really do find something special in whatever bands you listen to. i just encourage you not to spread the hate. realize that you are a journalist for a semi-popular magazine. your opinions matter. Also, i saw that you have a certain amount of respect for Weezer. You should know that Rivers Cuomo completely adored Kiss. So i beg of you. just try to listen to all kinds of music. if rivers could give Kiss a chance, then i'm sure you could too. and i realize this is not relevant to the article above. peace and love :^O
