I’ve been hiding the pillow case of candy in a cupboard, so I’m not even though the fun size snickers yet. I can still see Whoppers, Heath and York for my tier 1 candy.

Tier 2 looks like m&m’s (both), Starburst, Skittles, and Twizzler.

Tier 3 looks like Lifesavers, Kit Kat, Krackle, Swedish Fish and chocolate eye balls. I’ll eat them, but jeez.

Where are you in your candy stash?

Kit Kat in Tier 3? We have nothing to talk about.

You and my kids are fans of the same stuff. I just can’t agree. It’s a shame because I end up eating the Kit Kat and S. Fish from this filthy pillowcase. It’s so degrading.

We debated the full size bars because we want to buy influence and the admiration of others in our neighborhood. But we get too many trick-or-treaters, so we went with middle-of-the-road quality in fun size.

We could be great candy friends.


I'll trade you my Heath and Twizzler for your Swedish Fish and Kit Kat.


Sweet.

The second we came home from trick or treating with our daughter, we took her stash, emptied it in to our bowl for giving out and left it outside.

We kept a few packs of m&m's as treats for our daughter who we are potty training.

Candy is not safe in our house. I have no self control.
Long Chile was a silly place.

every year I get paid to pass out candy ad usually take the Almond Joy and Jolly Ranchers. Unfortunately, this year there were very few left for me to bring home, so I am left with a handful of Zotz.

Tier 1 for me: Milky Way, 100 Grand, Take 5, Snickers Peanut Butter, Payday

Tier 2: Swedish fish/gummi bears, Skittles, Baby Ruth

Tier 3: Pretty much everything else

I remember Zotz! Yikes!! Don’t they make your mouth burn?

The nice thing about having the candy that hurts is that it bumps up the value of all the other candy!!

No burn, just a slight sizzle and a taste of baking soda. I can eat them all day long.

Tier 1- my go to has been snickers. I prefer Milky Way and 100 grand, but they appear less popular. Reese’s peanut butter cups are stellar as well.

Tier 2 - Twix, kit kat

Tier 3 - Swedish fish, mike n Ike, Dots, gummi bears, and jolly rancher.

Garbage- any hard candy and butter finger. Ugh

The worst is the new Butterfinger cups. It’s an ungodly mix of the Reece’s cup and Butterfinger. Blech.

I have very little self control although I draw the line at taking my school age kids candy. I am not a monster.

For the rest, one act of courage to dump the whole lot in the trash saves weeks of guilt snacking.

Tier 1 is peanut butter cups and Rolos.

Tier 2 are Skittles and Star Burst

Tier 3 is everything else in the 450 piece Costco-size bag.

Living now in Mormon-dominated Salt Lake City, Utah means buying for hoards of children. We went through most of over 600 fun-size bars and the rest went to charity.

tier 1 whoppers, heath, twizzler, Swedish fish, lifesavers
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
