Mmmm, Snickers are the *best!*

You know, I've never had a frozen Snickers.  I'm afraid it would hurt
my fillings.  And I have a *lot* of fillings.  :-(

In fact, I think melted chocolate borders on the erotic, actually. 
Freezing it just seems . . . I don't know . . . frigid!

I've never had a Mallo bar.  I like coconut (Almond Joy and Mounds are
another my kids will let me have, no questions asked), but I'm not big
on marshmallow, if truth be told.  I mean, I might choke and no one
would be around to Heimlich me.

Paydays are fantastic, though.  I actually was allergic to chocolate
as a child, so Paydays saved my life -- they were one of the few candy
bars without chocolate.

Same here.  No Harry came to my door.  In fact, I only saw one Harry
at my kids' school -- and he wore the facial expression of a child
forced to wear older brother's old costume.

My kids reject all of my cool costume ideas.  <eye roll>  We found a
glittery formal gown someone gave us -- someone with the poor judgment
to think my daughter would be caught dead in a glittery formal gown. 
I suggested daughter wear it and carry an Oscar trophy and "thank" all
her fans and supports.  Would have been cheap, original and cool.

She rolled her eyes at me.  Kids today!  

Next Halloween, I might just borrow a costume idea my little brother
had at about age 16.  He dressed in flesh colored shorts and wore
black socks and wingtips.  He donned a trenchcoat and went around
flashing people.  It looked *so* real!  I thought it was a scream, but
mother was not amused.

Oh, and I should mention that there was a survey of least popular
Halloween candy, but I can't find it anymore.  I remember "candy corn"
made the list.  Also, those weird round things that come in the black
and orange wax paper -- what *are* those things?  And I personally
have no use whatever for "Twizzlers."  Or "Mike and Ike" either.

Since I couldn't find the real survey, here's David Letterman's offering:
