These fuckers left over from who knows how many past Christmases.

>>6941957
I don't mind any mint candy. I love mints.

>>6941960
Yeah I do too, but sometimes the things have been sitting in a bowl for years, and I do realize that a lot of old ladies grew up during the depression but sometimes you have chuck candies that have been sitting out for years, restock. It's not the depression right now.

>>6941960
Do these count as a mint?

>>6941920

the infamous "bread" candy

>>6941978
Never had marzipan but it looks really cool. What does it taste like

>>6941998

Almonds, roses and sugar.

>>6942003
I'd try it tbh.

>>6941998
Yeah, it does taste almondy, but if you're American you may find that it doesn't have enough sugar. Or they use some kind of strange sugar. It's not bad, but it'll prevent you from over-eating it. I guess that's a big difference between American sweets and foreign sweets. They come in so many gorgeous shapes.

>>6941957
This.
>mfw they get really chewy because of how old they are

>>6941998

bread

one bite at Grandma's and you whip the rest of it under the couch, like it never existed

>>6942017

I am American and think Marzipan is too sweet. It's just traditional, I'm convinced people eat it out of pure nostalgia rather than actually enjoying it.

I don't know what you mean by foreign, Europe is chock full of sugary garbage especially the UK and Germany. Rowntree, Kinder and and Harribo make me vomit just thinking about them.

There is a master confectionery where I work, maybe I'm just spoiled.

>>6942017
Are they made by hand? The ones in anons pic look super detailed

The thin layer of awful chocolate and the one stale almond isn't worth having an entire jar of toenail clippings on your tongue for hours.

>>6942031
I kind of get what you're getting at, but if they double the almond amount it would be the greatest thing ever.

Sorry that you don't like coconut. Bet you don't like onions either.

>>6941978
Wait, there's people that don't like marzipan?

>>6942034
Yep

Anyone ever get these? I got some when I lived in a bad part of town when I was little

>>6941920

got a lot of these one Halloween

DO NOT EAT!

>>6942035
I like onions but not coconut. Onions are probably my favorite vegetable.

>>6942058
Fuckin' dessicant packs, that's pretty harsh. It looked like a condom from the thumnail and I was like, that's a funky grandma if she's throwing condoms in kids' Halloween treat bags.

Don't forget the cigarette sampler packs.

Their eyes go bad so you might get a handfull of random pills.

What if a dumb kid eats it and gets all dry inside

>>6943660
Then we'll have to get that kid nice and wet. You know, all of us work together and really lubricate their insides.

>>6941920
These fuckers.
I hate them so much.

>>6943690
Maybe you're just bitter over having to live in Canada.

>>6943706
wat?

>>6943690
If you get quick at it you can flick those at people like you flick a penny, a quick snap with a penny can cause damage, a smartie wont cause damage but can be annoying.

>>6943745
suburban survival techniques?

>>6943359
Nah candy corn is great.

>>6943766
More urban funny shit. Another way to flick a penny is from a window many floors up, if flicked in the right direction it'll arc back around and nail a window about 6-7 floors down.

Flick the thing outwards in the right direction and it arcs right back in after some distance. Penny's are best, they're light and heavy enough to make it work.

Pennys are light enough but not too heavy and have the right size to make an arc possible over some distance. Dimes are too light so useless, nickles and quarters too heavy. Pennys also don't cost all that much so if you lose one experimenting with it, so what?

Varying the direction will result in more or less distance on the hit, the rotation also effects that, the right rotation and it'll arc back in, the opposite rotation and it arcs out.

This is the kind of shit you figure out when you're a bored NYC school kid in high school.

Prunes

>>6941968
My grandfather used to love these, god bless his soul.

Anyone else have old people give you like a year supply of Wendy's frosty coupons? Was awesome.

mfw my job has a "diabetes friendly halloween list" that includes
-pencils
-erasers
-finger paints
-raisins
-toothpaste samples
-floss
-coloring books

No one wants this shit. All you're doing is giving the kid a solid knowledge of bartering at a young age.

what's wrong with these

>>6944923
Worse when my best friend from when a little kid's become a DDS, apparently a good one too. Even worse since my usual one retired so I have no excuse to not go to him, I'm scared though, he was USMC too, I think he'll poke my teeth out of fun.

>>6944961

I love these, you heretic motherfucker.

>>6944972
... Almost forgot my mom went out with a DDS once too, he was one of the best in the USA, then there's even less excuse than having a friend that became a DDS too. I'm just being stupid and putting off what I know I have to do.

>>6944965
nothing wrong with them they are dank as shit but i've literally never been given these by anything but an old lady

>>6944961
You shut your whore mouth

I spent 4-10 back in the mid 90's living in an small neighborhood packed to the brim with older retirees. We were the only young family in the neighborhood and I swear to God that they prepped every year for it. Bags were packed full, they even gave us sugar cookies and it was fucking glorious.

Then we'd go out later with friends in a more diverse (Age diversity, everyone was white) neighborhood and we'd really double down on the good shit. One year we arrived late at a house and this drunk bro answered the door, Went fucking ballistic my Where's Waldo costume and gave my friend and I a 6 pack of Crush Cream Soda and all the candy he had. Man, 1999 Halloween was god tier.

Recently I went back to where I grew up and every one of those sweet grannies and overenthusiastic grandpas were dead except for one couple...

Goddammit. ;_;

>>6944999
Thanks for the story man :)

>>6944952
Pretty much

my grandmother gives out nickels, because the thinks the dollar is soon going to be worth the paper it's printed on

>>6944716
>find spearmint hard candy
>actually lime
JUST

Little grab bags of Spearmint leaves. Addicted to these things even today.

>>6941978
Marzipan is fucking fantastic though.
It's also real fucking expensive and I wouldn't ever give that out to any little runt even if I lived in a country that celebrates halloween.

>>6943903

Why the fuck.

Chocolate brazil nuts (aka "nigger toes" in some places)

>Chocolate brazil nuts (aka "nigger toes" in some places)
what places ? my grandfather used to call brazil nuts "nigger toes" he was from colorado but lived most of his life in cali.

few years back a lady gave out Candy Land game pieces, shit was so cash

Peanuts and Popcorn balls

Pooo

>>6944961
When I was a kid I thought those things were like mana from heaven. They're really pretty bad.

this reminded me of that time my friend got some viagra pills as candies by a whore who used to live down the street, we were young so he didn't knew what they were, but i knew, ohhh i really knew, he ate the one he received, instaboner, he though he had eaten poison... i laughed as the bastard i am and fifteen years later he can't get through it yet, what a manlet

>>6946062
Damn I wish they made an app for that game...

These fuckers are the only thing I'd be disappointed finding in my Halloween horde after a long night's toil. Even so I'm of a mind to never waste any candy so I horded them in my nightstand until I got REALLY desperate for candy sometime around June or so the next year.

>>6949794
i love these things

>>6944961

I looked through this entire thread for this post.

I'm glad I didnt have to make it.

breaks my fucking heart, man. last few years, sometimes we'd only get a handful of trick or treaters, and i live in a nice neighborhood.

but i've also never really participated beyond answering the door, so this year i want to have some really good candy out and camp out on the porch with a scary costume. give back for once. fingers crossed for a billion children

>>6949697

They're good, but not quite as good a the parma violets.

>tfw counting up all the pennies you were given while trick or treating to find you can only afford 1 chocolate bar

I had a dentist in my neighborhood too, but he knew better than to give out toothpaste, but he'd never give out any candy. He'd give out pic related instead.

>>6951954
he shoulda gave out that wild cherry flavor floss that was red

These always lined the bottom of the bag with all the good shit getting eaten within the first night or three.

Now that I'm an adult, I give these out because they're cheap and I keep all the good candy to myself. Fuck those kids, their parents are going to "throw away" any good shit I'd give them and eat it themselves anyways.

>>6942955
They they are fantastic

>>6950925
For a while, you could plug the toll booths in Chicago with these because they are the exact size of a quarter. I think they fixed it though.

My mom only liked dark chocolate and 3 musketeers. They were always very few in number and "unsafe, anon, trash it goes"

Only later did I piece it together.

What's the best halloween haul and why is it Zots? Saltwater taffy also acceptable.

>>6955244

These are delicious. Except when I used to get them for Halloween or from my Grandma they would be old as shit and the outside would be all melty/chewy and that's just unpleasant.


Also, I hate these nasty candy coins and I only ever got them from old ladies.

Best Halloween for me is when I became an adult. My friends and I built a fake coffin, had some pretty decent costumes and other shit going on. We set up the front yard to basically be a mini haunted house. We had people coming from all over town.

Good times. So many crying kids. We even managed to make one older lady, I think she was 40? Cry and literally run away.

Good times...

My sides from this thread are in fucking space

>>6959693
>>6964540

Being an adult is waaay the fuck better than halloween.

If I want candy, I can just go out, drive to the store and fucking buy it. I get to choose only the kind I like and eat it whenever the fuck I want.

>This whole thread and these aren't posted

Not enough Canadians I guess.

These have the distinction of being both old lady tier and being the dead last candy to be eaten if not just thrown away.
