Worst->Best
At least on the scale of what I'm handing out.
Had to scale it back this year only 43 lbs, probably only last about half the night.

What I don't understand about those garbage molasses candies is who buys them and why? At this point they've been the most hated candy for decades.
Best: Reese's peanut butter cups
Worst: Tootsie Rolls, they're just wax with a slightly sweet flavor
I love tootsie rolls. Iโll trade you.
That's fair
you don't look at wax and fantasize about chewing on it sometimes?
The dentist's house handed out toothbrushes. Which actually was really thoughtful and appreciated by the poorer parents
imagine the ruckus if he'd handed out something with fluoride in it
Like toothpaste?
Like hydrofluoric acid disguised as ketchup packets?
Best: King size candy bars
Worst: Those little rock-hard peanut butter taffy things in the black and orange wrappers.
I fucking love those things
MaryJanes. Should be outlawed by international convention.
Worst: raisinettes, circus peanuts, candy corn Best: none of the above
Man those are some of my favs. I've always loved them.
Best: full size candy bars Worst: US Smarties.
Can't believe you're the only person I've seen that has said candy Tums
I don't but a close friend does. he would trade away coconut for it
That gave me the idea to toss in a coconut or two into bags this year. I'll reserve those for the "kids" that are obviously too old for this stuff.
I do full size candy bars, but I'll also drop a handful of loose candy corn instead into the bag of someone who's clearly too old.
loll remind them they can send it through the mail with no packaging
The best is almost always full size candy bars, though everyone's personal favorites are different.
As for the worst, people might rag on the orange and black peanut butter things, candy corn, or circus peanuts. I personally like them all and I feel most of the hate is memetic.
The real bad candy? Peppermints. Even worse and strange? Peppermint candy canes.
Sure, I like them in December, but seeing those mixed in with other candy is an insult and reminds you of Christmas creep. It's a breath mint. There might be one freakish kid who likes those hard minty disks of Christmas flavor around Halloween, but really, no one is excited about these restaurant give aways. Even hating on the candy you don't like is part of the Halloween experience, but peppermint just feels wrong in a trick or treat bag.
I wholeheartedly agree on the peppermint thing
If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street "hey, this place has ring pops!"
Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper
Worst: any kind of hard candy, yuck! Especially smarties, or those peppermint things. Oh and Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie pops.
Best: Any kind of chocolate
