Not totally weird! I don't like them. Sorry but they seem to have a strange odor to me.1 -

@RowdysLady - I have to be careful of the smell when opening the bag (EDITED TO ADD: BAG OF PORK RINDS). It's kind of ... off-putting... but air it out? Then eat away, absolutely! LOL
I'm with you on that! I don't like the smell of a new bag either...and it was you or maybe @Sunny_Bunny_ who suggested adding popcorn seasonings...I love that. And I cheese em up and nuke em then dip in salsa sometimes too.1 -
@Sunny_Bunny_ and I like to trade tips and tricks all the time, so there's no telling there. Just be careful not to use too many seasonings - the "cheese" and "ranch" ones have corn syrup solids... But yeah, we do stuff in homemade ranch/sour cream dip often. Even bell pepper strips! Yum.0

I started putting my cheeses and meats and such in the vege crisper when my kids lived at home. No way would they look in there. Now they've moved out I still do it, my hubby knows that general fridge real estate is for "us" but anything in the vege drawer is mine for work lunches, snax etc. Works well.2

Sure it does, lol!1 -
Went to make myself a LC wrap for lunch and found the turkey, shredded cheese and pepperoni were all gone lol. How do they even eat it that fast?0

Technically, it doesn't necessarily mean you're limited to cheese as your only food, with oil and liquor as your only beverage choices.2 -

That darn Carbage fairy keeps leaving sour patch kids and pringles around the house. She even brought me Lindt chocolates, my favorite. I have been giving them to my daughter instead!
Tillamook cheese is great, I love pepperjack and their marble cheese.. idk what Americans call it. Colby Jack? It's good! I also have feta, goat and jalapeno cheese strings. I love cheese lol1 -
Sigh...just went to make lunch. Fridge is empty. Thank goodness for eggs and butter and I found the last two slices of salami were hidden on a shelf in the back.1

Speaking of carbage fairies, we purposely haven't bought Halloween candy yet.
Then yesterday a package arrived for my husband from the company he works for filled with candy and other treats for Halloween. They've been whispering to me ever since.0 -
oh Halloween is always a huge haul around here, and this year the kids are bringing a friend with them.... their friend doesn't really eat candy... so guess where she's leaving it lol yup even more sugar in the house. On the bright side the last time I had candy it tasted like ick, so hopefully it will sit on top of the fridge as quick sugars for my son

A few possible options to heal the whispering:- Freeze and drop in toilet tank for safekeeping
- Warm and place in litterbox
- Place in toaster and burn to a bloody crisp
- Mix with some other rat poison, or Drano,, then stir into growler of Clorox
- Melt with old candles and mothballs
- Grind them into your carpet with your heel

I may be the father of the only 11 year old girl who doesn't really like candy. All her friends think she is odd because she doesn't want to go trick or treating. She wants to stay home and pass out the candy. She DOES like the dressing up part. If she could get other things (like pens, notebooks, book marks) going to door to door, she would be all over it. As it is, she sees no point in it for candy.1

Hahaha @RalfLott
I love Candy...yes, I just capitalized the word. I'm going to reward myself for good behavior by making a fathead pizza tonight. I told my husband to hide the candy and we'll dump it in the trick or treat bowl on Monday.
Kids that don't like candy are way ahead of the game! @gdaydreamer @cstehansen1 -

Of course!
7. Wait till Oct 31 and give to kids.
(In which case, steps 1-6 may be omitted.)

Or you could donate the candy to the local food bank or homeless shelter? A lot of people out there appreciates what we take for granted and would love a little treat.0

Why do they smell like dirty locker room socks but taste so good?2 -

I have heard of people who trade their kids candy for a toy or a book that they want. Maybe your daughter would trade the candy for something she likes. Then you can donate it all.1 -

That's what we do. The kids keep 10 candies and trade in the rest for a toy or $10. No other option allowed.
It actually started when I was more worried about food sensitivities. My kids are gluten free (celiac in the house), and one is nut free and as dairy free as possible.... that didn't leave much so we started trading it in.1 -
Similar problems ... Hubby likes my expensive treats like Moon Cheese and Bacon's Heir pork rinds. He's money conscious so I all I had to do was tell him that the little pork rind bags are about 3 bucks a piece, so he now understands not to eat 4 bags in a sitting.2

One of my good friends used to trade candy for toys/craft items/experiences with her kids after Halloween when they were young years ago - she was a super crunchy, no sugar kind of mama.
At the time, my daughter would only drink milk with chocolate syrup in it and when my friend's kids would come over for a play date, her kids would drink chocolate milk like it was crack.0 -
My son would leave his Halloween candy alone for months, same with Easter basket candy.0

Interesting. My mom did not allow sweets much or any Carbage at all, really. All 4 of us cannot NOT eat all of a treat. They were rare and we would not get more than one chance at it because there was never much and there were many of us. I often wondered if in household were more treats were allowed, the scarcity behaviour might change to better control.0 -
My son has been a T1D since he was two. So Halloween, Easter, Christmas stockings etc, both kids get a piece or two a night (to keep things fair). There are never sugary breakfasts or snacks in the house. BUT I have the distinct feeling once they are on their own they are both going to break loose and eat themselves sick for about a week.0

@dasher602014 my kids have always had carby stuff around but they were always worried about it disappearing that they'd eat it up so the other wouldn't get it. When my youngest was between about 3 - 9 I could go into her room at any time and find where she'd been stealing, sneaking and hiding the evidence - candy wrappers tucked in drawers, snack cake wrappers hidden in boxes...on and on. So it was plentiful here yet they still ate with abandon.0

I guess, no matter what pattern, the tastebuds and other drives, know sugar and fat and seek it out, once a taste is established.0
