Does anyone buy extra candy of their favorite type then eat it with the excuse that it wasn't given away at Halloween?

I do!

wait...we are supposed to hand out candy to others? I thought I just ate it all plus whatever the kids brought home

Hey, nice to bump into you here again!



I think Halloween is a ploy to make adults have an excuse to consume large amounts of candy.

Ahhhhh. The magic of small Snicker bars!!!

Women after my own heart!!

Nope, I wait for the after Halloween sales then gorge.

The bags are already on sale. One is already half empty!

I wonder who came up with the concept to disguise their children and send them out at night to beg for candy.

love the small chochlate bars ....coffee crisp and oh henry heheh

I really miss those bite size 3 Musketeers bars..made my teeth hurt like hell, but it was worth it...

Yeah. Send them out to beg for money, instead.

That's what we did on Planet Melmac.

Hahaha I only buy the good stuff anyway. I want buy anything I will not eat for we never have very many kids anymore. To many carnival's and other things going on that they get their bags filled with candy.

So I always have stuff left over...

guilty

Well, you asked.

Immigrants flooded America in the second half of the 1800s, especially Irish immigrants fleeing their country’s potato famine who popularized Halloween nationally. Taking from both Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go from door-to-door asking for food or money, a practice now known as trick-or-treating. At this time, young women believed they could prophesize their future husband’s appearance by doing tricks with yarn and mirrors. By the late 1800s, Americans tried to mold Halloween into a holiday more about community than about ghosts, pranks and witchcraft, making parties for adults and children the norm. As a result, the holiday lost most of its superstitious and religious ties.

By the 1920s and 30s, Halloween had become completely community-centered with parades and parties for the whole town. Vandalism also began to disrupt Halloween celebrations. That trend slowed in the 1950s and the holiday began to focus on the young due to the baby boom of the time. Trick-or-treating was revived as a way for the community to celebrate and a new American tradition was born.

I used to put those in the freezer, then eat it. Good thing I still have all my teeth in tact! And yeah, they were worth every tooth ache!

Silly Americans

Are we suppose to wait until after Halloween to eat it? I thought it was a bag for them, a bag for me!!

Just one? Aren't you a little behind?

Yes but I eat it all before Halloween.
Then have to scramble and buy more.
I am sugar high right now.

Halloween is simply the one day
that you're supposed to share
your candy... generally I'm all out
by then.
