Every year kids head out looking for great Halloween grabs on October 31st. You can get just about any kind of candy on Halloween. I always liked getting Smarties and other sweet and sour candies. I enjoyed 3 Musketeers as well, but chocolate was rarely my favorite. However without fail each year you'd come across a house that was giving away candy from the dark ages. As I've gotten older I can appreciate a nice Bit-O-Honey or something of similar ilk, but I'll never forget the dreaded... Orange and Black candy!


Does this crap even have a name? Seriously I think it's the only candy that's sold in bulk under no name. I think it might be called "Crap you can buy in mass quantities and kids won't eat" or some such. Year after year this would always be the last candy I ate. Usually I wouldn't even eat it. I'd know how much real candy I had left by the ratio of orange and black that showed up in the bottom of my bag. Eventually the last Tootsie Roll would be gone and I'd be left with this crap.

Part of me is charmed that this stuff is still around. Part of me feels sorry for the poor kids who end up getting it. Might as well get a bag full of dirt.

What's your least favorite Halloween treat?
