    Sweet tarts, jelly beans and anything that contained black licorice, hard grandma candy. I also hated those lame generic lollypops you get at the doctor's office! My boyfriend LOVES Necco wafers...lol!!!

    I don't think i ever gave anything away - I have a big family (3 sisters, 2 brothers) and none of them liked sour stuff or licorice, so I ended up getting all of theirs. I just remember i'd always have a dresser drawer filled with candy - until August!!! I'd save it and then use it to bribe them to do something for me!! :flowerforyou:

    KitKat bars were always my weakness though (still are). :grumble:

    The popcorn balls you always get from the senior citizens. First thing to go.

    I'm from Ireland and when I was younger you got fruit and nuts that was it. You might get one person that gave chocolate and you would be amazed.
    But we loved it honestly piling up all our fruit at the end can't remember if we ate it all cos I can't imagine eating tons of fruit would be good for you!

    I don't think I gave away any of my candy. My sister would always give me her almond joys. But my parents would take all our candy and put it away. We could have a little bit each day. Since they did that it lasted until Christmas.

    I am not a snickers fan, so my snickers would go in my giveaway pile to swap with my little brother for almond joys and dove chocolates.

    Those little candies that were supposed to be strawberry flavor, but didn't really taste of strawberry and had the wrapper that looked like a strawberry. It was a plain out lie. From center to wrapper. Candy coated lie!

    Otherwise, I pretty much had a list of importance: Blow pops, now and laters, umm...gummi (though back in the 80s, gummi wasn't as popular), tootsie rolls/tootsie pops, and umm....chewing gum...then the chocolate I would save for last..that is if I weren't robbed of my stash.

    Those little strawberry things! I never knew the name of them, but I hated them too. They were totally sticky and a waste of flavor!

    There wan't much I'd get rid of... I dug through to find what I liked, especially the dark chocolate!! YUM. It was always AMAZING when someone handed out full sized candy bars, though it seems like those always had razor blades (not real ones, but Dad had to inspect them, anyway). :( The best ever was when Joe Montana was handing out $100 bills. We didn't make it to his house in time, though. I'd have been happy just to have met him, but the $100 would certainly have been a bonus!!

    Even as a child I was a lush for anything chocolate. I didn't love the Palmer or other dollar store variety, but I'd still keepthem for when I ran out of "the good stuff".

    Other candy I'd keep and eat sporadically despite my lack of enthusiasm for it (as one poster said, no wonder I have a weight problem). I do remember giving away those candies that were either wrapped in black or orange paper. I can't remember what they were called.

    Wait, I Googled. Peanut Butter Kisses. They didn't taste much like peanut butter... bleh

    SInce I'm an only child, I never had to share with anyone.

    My mom always went through my candy, but that was about it... and always ate the tootsie rolls and gum.

    Give away pile....Smarties, Mounds, Almond Joy, Sweet tarts, and gum.

    Vanilla tootsie rolls were like gold, I'd have to trade 3 milky ways, a kit kat and a snickers to get one vanilla tootsie roll, and it was worth it.

    I held onto mine until my brother ate all his and then sold it to him little by little.

    I just loved reading this thread. It's a total foreign language, as apart from the chocolate, lquorice and smarties (all of which I love) I don't think I recognised any of it!!
    We didn't do trick or treat in England when I was a kid, (try and avoid it now, to be honest) so it' all sounds very strange.
    Enjoy your Hallowe'en people. I shall try to look as if there's no-one home that night, and look forward to Guy Fawkes instead! :laugh:

    The only thing I would give away were licorice and hard candies (including suckers that did not have gum or tootsie roll inside it, and it usually only took me four licks to get to the center of my tootsie pop...CRUNCH!).

    I had no "give away" pile. It was ALL MINE.

    Things that I either traded or threw away were black licorice, sour candies, cinnamon candies and the wax( those scary fangs etc).

    I was never a fan of the dubble bubble gum. The flavor lasted about 3 seconds and then felt like you were chewing on a goodyear tire. I also didnt care for sugar babies or milk duds. It was a big annoyance to get that caramel out of my teeth.


    My favorites were kitkats, whoppers, snickers, and reese's PB cups.


    Chocolate of course was always the first to disappear from the bag. Its always been my downfall. :laugh:

    I love Necco Wafers! They might be my favorite Halloween candy ... but I am a big Candy Corn Pumpkin guy.

    Last year my kids each got a package of Ramen Noodle Soup!

    My giveaway pile was always Almond Joy, Mounds, or Rainetts

    I love Necco Wafers too!! The white ones are my favorite :) And Candy Corn Pumpkins are my absolute fav candy other than chocolate! I have a bowl of them on my desk at work :-D I'm with you on this one! :)
