- LtXenodite, on 10/23/2008, -3/+79Left after first page because people still don't understand that we don't like sifting through 11 pages of some three usable lines each.
- spookyttws, on 10/23/2008, -1/+56Fun sized candy bars suck? What am I supposed to give out, King sized bars? I don't have the money to buy 100 69 cent bars to give out to random children.
- lensman00, on 10/23/2008, -2/+54Slideshow might actually be worthwhile for the zombie photos, but if you're in a rush then here's the text:
The 11 Halloween Treats You Don't Want to Get
Veggies, fruits or healthy snacks: Talk about a trick. You wanted something filled with sugar and preferably neon but instead you got stuck with celery sticks. Save the rabbit food for the Easter Bunny.
Diabetic candy: Diabetic candy is Halloween's decaf coffee. There's no sugar, it's usually filled with coconut and it's likely been wedged between a make-up case and a cell phone n your grandmother's purse.
Plastic *****: What the hell am I supposed to do with a bat ring?
Bibles and any other religious scripture: The power of Satan compels you to get some damn candy!
"Fun size" candy: There's nothing fun about less candy.
School supplies: Oh great! Just what I wanted on Halloween, a reminder that after I take this costume off I still have to study for that multiplication quiz. Thanks for the dose of harsh reality.
Wax bottles: When you finally get these suckers open you'll discover they're filled with high-fructose corn syrup and "red." But before you get to that you'll have to eat wax!
Peppermints: If you're so cheap that you'll toss us the mints that came with your take-out instead of buying real candy, you deserve the bag of dog ***** I'll be setting on fire and leaving on your porch later.
Pennies: These are especially bad if accompanied by advice to "save them for a rainy day."
Smarties: What's that? You like Smarties. I do too. It's just too bad that every giant bag of mixed candy has 100 packages of these tiny, chalky disks. When I started trick-or-treating, ending the night with ten pounds of Smarties is not what I had in mind.
Someone else's hand: Stay out of my damn candy! - NovaPrime9, on 10/23/2008, -1/+40I got a rock.
- jamiesc, on 10/23/2008, -1/+38I loved those stupid wax bottles.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/23/2008, -0/+37Smarties ***** rule.
- malanic, on 10/23/2008, -1/+31What Americans call 'Smarties', are marketed to the rest of the world as 'Fizzers' (or 'Rockets' in Canada). The rest of the world knows 'Smarties' as a different type of candy, much like M&Ms, except with a slightly thicker candy coating.
/trivia - emoblow, on 10/23/2008, -1/+23Best thing I ever got: a pack of baseball cards, unopened, circa 1982. I should have hit that house 50 times over.
- ADIDAS247, on 10/23/2008, -0/+18"Pennies".
The way things are going, I could use some of these about now - AmyVernon, on 10/23/2008, -1/+18Totally disagree about Smarties and "fun sized" candy. When my kids trick-or-treat, I can pretend I'm not eating as much of their candy. Sigh. Love Halloween.
- llamarama7, on 10/23/2008, -3/+18Most impressive: that insane string of drool in the "pennies" photo.
- AdeleMor, on 10/23/2008, -2/+17In the second to last photo, it looks like the zombie blew his nose and Smarties came out.
- staffell, on 10/23/2008, -2/+16I would have probably dugg this if it was
a) all on one page and
b) not accompanied by 11 photos of the same gimpy looking guy in various poses - inactive, on 10/23/2008, -0/+14I would always get annoyed with one neighbor of mine who made us reach into his pocket for our candy. The candy was always melted.
- FENWAYFREAK, on 10/23/2008, -0/+13Wax bottles are amazing, and a great throwback candy. Newsflash: you don't eat the wax. Bite the top off, spit it out, drink.
- faithforever, on 10/23/2008, -2/+14Whatever happened to the old adage beggars can't be choosers? Geesh, if you come begging at the door, don't complain about what you get.
And I like Smarties. - ShooterMcGavin, on 10/23/2008, -0/+12I remember every year in school, someone would get dared to crush and snort their Smarties. Amazing we didn't all end up coke heads.
- MadThrasher, on 10/23/2008, -0/+11Burried for wasting my time and clicking through 11 pages...
- FlareHeart, on 10/23/2008, -0/+11Thanks for posting this and removing the annoyance of the slide show and eye-killing ad-filled page.
Dugg for interesting content at least. - Phate8263, on 10/23/2008, -0/+11At the very least make it ajax so I don't have to reload the entire page each time from your slow-ass server.
- Doctoxicated, on 10/23/2008, -3/+14they forgot about getting sexually molested... man that was almost as bad as getting raisins or one of those stupid mini-toothbrushes dentists give out.
- CynicSight, on 10/23/2008, -0/+11I'll sign that, sir. Any opened, non-packaged candy is ***** gross. Wouldn't touch that ***** if you paid me.
- secrity, on 10/23/2008, -2/+12Candy corn can come in small bags suitable for Halloween giving.
- wpc33, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9Is it just me, or are the "smarties" referred to in the article, what we canadians call "rockets"??
Our smarties are just like M&M's, only thinner and wider. They come in a box, and they rock.
I hate chalky rockets. Except, for crumbling them in grade 6 and pretending to do coke. - shutaro, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9When I saw "Pennies" I read it as "Penis" and had the same thought...
- mikeevegas, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9The new times is a free newspaper in Phoenix geared more toward the artsy crowd. That's still no excuse for the 11 page slideshow layout though.
- ajmccoll, on 10/23/2008, -1/+10That wasn't candy he wanted you to reach for...
- dannymb877, on 10/23/2008, -1/+10Candy turns you into... a zombie?
- wpc33, on 10/23/2008, -0/+8Those goddamn "molasses kisses". You know them. Wrapped in Halloween-themed wax-paper. Thick, hard as *****, and light-brown.
I actually lost a baby tooth on one. Curses to those appalling things. Last time I went out, I left them behind, on the doorstep.
When was the last time you had a craving for those? Or went to the store, looking for them? Or even SAW them, except as a booby-prize for trick-or-treaters? Nobody likes them, not even the morons giving these out! - secrity, on 10/23/2008, -2/+9After reading this ungracious *****, I think that I am opting out of giving out candy this Halloween. I don't give out full sized candy bars, but I do give out decent candy like "fun size" snickers and little bags of peanut M&Ms.
I do agree that getting religious crap or dietetic candy is *****. - b9gh47q, on 10/23/2008, -0/+7I wish I were able to do that :(
- IllBeBack, on 10/23/2008, -2/+9Blasphemer! Candy corn RULES!
I can totally go into a sugar coma off that stuff. - kurkpeterman, on 10/23/2008, -0/+63 of 11 - Plastic *****: What the hell am I supposed to do with a bat ring?
Is this a real newspaper? I mean..plastic ***** is aptly named, but I didn't think they'd be so frank about it. - dannymb877, on 10/23/2008, -2/+8BRAAAAAAAAINNNNNNNS... oh Halloween.
- IllBeBack, on 10/23/2008, -0/+6*****' aye!
- Atario, on 10/23/2008, -0/+6Don't just leave -- bury.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5These are Smarties. http://www.smarties.com/
They're not at all like M&M's (there's no chocolate). - AyaJulia, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5As an American who recently moved to Canada and was horrifically disappointed when I asked for Smarties and got chocolate, I can tell you that yes, definitely, what Americans call Smarties are what the rest of the world (not just Canada) calls Rockets.
...but they'll always be Smarties to me. - adamroach, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5Homemade Rice Krispies Treats in saran wrap.
- lamecore, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5Me too!!
- fangsup, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5Americans call them Smarties. Canadians call them Rockets.
- inactive, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4boxed raisins. nuff said.
- MrSteamTank, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4Smarties are Rockets in the US? Wow, I guess you learn something every day. 8P
- jfg84, on 10/24/2008, -1/+5The "kid" in the pictures should have stopped trick or treating about 5- check that- 10 years ago.
- str1fe, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4It's a weekly newspaper, at least that's what they call themselves. It functions closer to a local magazine.
- iChainsaw, on 10/24/2008, -1/+5You ***** suck for linking to ebaums.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4We used to use pixy sticks for pretending to do coke.
