According to "Serious Eats.com," the little beggars who come calling every October 31st have a preferred and despised list of Halloween candy. Just in case some of you'd like to avoid the "tricks" associated with the holiday, here's the despised list (and why):
1) Toothbrushes - apparently Dentists & Orthodontists should NOT bring their work home with them on this night.
2) Raisins - the little goblins want treats that will actually rot their teeth, not "wrinkled grapes."
3) Candy Corn - now this is just unAmerican. What is Halloween without candy corn? It's the "fruitcake" of Halloween.
4) Smarties & Necco wafers - I agree, who wants to eat chalk!
5) Dum-Dum lollipops - oh come on, who can resist a 3,000 count package of suckers for $1.99?
6) Apples - remember when bad peeps would hide razor blades in these . . . makes me shudder just remembering the days of ex-raying all candy at the local ER.
7) Tootsie Rolls - yeah, no chocolate in them at all anymore and a destroyer of dental work.
8) Miscellaneous, Hard wrapped candy - reserved for Senior Citizens? What about the bagged stuff they put in Pinatas?
9) Laffy Taffy - hey, it's their dental work NOT MINE!
10) Anything "Fun-Sized- " apparently anything "portion controlled" shouldn't apply to Halloween.
OK, so, that means the 3 Costco bags of 250 count tootsie rolls, tootsie pops, sweet tarts, and miscellaneous hard-wrapped candy I just bought have to be returned? Phhhhhhhhhhtttttttttttttt, beggars can't be choosers!!!!!!
