Candy Talk

First of all, I have a question regarding Dots in the above poll: does anybody like them? Secondly, I would like to discuss the sugar baby. When I put out candy bowl, letting trick or treaters take whatever they want, for the first hour four out of five times, they went for the Sugar Babies. There was other good candy in there, plenty of tootsie rolls, peanut butter cups, snickers, kitkat, a few chocolate spiders from Fanny May chocolates, and yet, they opted for the Sugar Babies. I have a theory about this: people don't eat Sugar Babies outside of a Halloween context or in regular sized packages. Anybody here casually eat Sugar Babies? Were they a source of joy or irritation when received in the treat bag?

I like sugar babies! My daughter and I went trick or treating and in my neighborhood it seemed like the spirit of halloween was gone. It finally got good when we went to the richer neighborhoods. Alot of tootsie rolls though i hate those.

So you would, for instance, purchase sugar babies as a supermarket impulse buy and not just a Halloween treat?

That's cool. I've never seen anybody casually eating those, but people are so happy to see them on Halloween. I was worried that it was a craving that gets stifled.

Yea i have actually liked the candy since i was young. When i was a kid and i got them for halloween it would be exciting. My parents wanted to keep candy away from me when i was younger.

I don't have a clue what dots or sugar babies are. But at halloween, anything that isn't made by hersheys (other than reeses) is pretty much fine for me.
