    The brand-name Mary Janes (that actually said Mary Jane on the wrapper) were great as far as I was concerned.

    As much as I hate to do it, I've got to disagree with SC on the popcorn balls. Those things were/are horrid.

    The key score was always the individual peanut butter cups.

    There was a dentist a couple streets down from me who gave out tooth brushes that you just knew, as you got older, he got for free at work.

    He got TP'd more than anyone I have ever known in my life.

    Hard candy sucks. Gimme chocolate and not those increasingly minute "fun size" things. Give me PB Max or the big Reese's PB cups.

    Candy corn sucks too.

    I've always been amazed at the "fun size" description of little candy bars:

    "Oooh, look ... these candy bars are smaller than those bigger fuckers. Gosh, this will be so much more fun eating them."

    Sheeesh.

    Yes, because God forbid someone looks out for your dental hygiene.

    Your teeth are your best friend, Zeke. You take care of them, they'll take care of you.

    Those little bags of chips make for awesome munching on Halloween night while seven-year-old Huggy Jr. makes his rounds. He never knows they've disappeared from his bag.

    Best: Snickers, Peanut-butter cups and, well, just about anything chocolate.

    Worst: Hands down, gotta be Smarties. Like eating little pieces of chalk.

    Also, old people who gave out like five pennies at a time. Even worse were those people who would go the extra mile to wrap five pennies in something like festive orange cellophane. I'd rather get the toothpaste.

    In honor of you, they should now be called "economy size" candy bars.

    And Doc's on the TP list.
