I understand these are also being fed to prisoners as a form of torture.

Do they still sell those, or do you just have a 20 year-old stash of them?

I might just kick it old-school and give out little packs of soap gum.

I loved those things.

Besides, how is this any more awful than the menthol (cough drop flavor) that they add to absolutely every flavor of gum these days, including the fruit flavoured gum. Menthol and watermellon is just not a winning combination in my books.

I saw them at Walmart. Of course, Walmart is also selling pumpkin shaped marshmallows. If you want cheap ass treats, go to WalMart!

The only Halloween candy I buy is the candy I don't like. So I'll be handing out Butterfinger and Almond Joy this year.

coloured sugar is awesome

Pix-E-Stix, too. like cocaine for kids

Aspartame still tastes like soap.

Goodies were my least favourite, candy shell over the most foul tasting black licorice known to man. My Dad liked them though - so he got all of those.

What?! Dude those are awesome. I haven't been eating much candy for the past year or so, but goodies are one of my all-time favourites. Even the smell is awesome when you open the bag. Then you pop a handful in your mouth, store half in one cheek and half in the other cheek. Alternating one by one bringing them into the centre of your mouth to delicately shell the licorice by cracking the candy coating with a bit of pressure, then shucking out the tasty black trophy inside. You want to do it just slow enough to enjoy the flavours and textures, but not so slow that they start getting soggy in your mouth.

Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network posted a blog by Kimberly Daniels recently that warns Christians to forgo celebrating Halloween because of its evilness. Daniels specifically calls out candy as a source of soul-molestation:

"During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches."

The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:

• Sex with demons
• Orgies between animals and humans
• Animal and human sacrifices
• Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
• Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
• Revel nights
• Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
• Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.

We're giving out the H1N1 virus for Halloween. All of our treats are coughed on at least once by someone with the H1N1 virus.

Seriously, tho, if someone in your house is sick, what do you do?

Are you guys dentists or something? In addition to tasting gross, those things are guaranteed to pull out a filling or decrown a tooth. Evil. Nasty.

Nope. Trick or treating in your neighborhood (possibly in the freezing cold) is a part of growing up in Calgary. Yes, it gets cold. Yes, it's more work than a mall.

Maybe I can get there on ages 0-3. But at age 4 or over - you'll be robbing your child of a quintessential childhood experience if you take them to a mall.

Last year, My youngest Daughter found canned peas in her halloween bag. Somebody!, I say Somebody's! got a real weird sense of humour.

Yup. Hopefully someone posted this in the 'You're not from Calgary' thread, but you're not from Calgary unless your halloween costumes were big enough to wear your winter jacket underneath.
