OT: One Week To Halloween

[AmeriConn]

You get to choose one. What’s your favorite?

 

[f1f1ferrari]

Twix, please!

 

[Bald Husky]

Reeses PB cups, but not the minis

 

[pspr11]

Snickers!

 

[AmeriConn]

I think somewhere on the bottom of that bowl is a Chunky! What a chunk of chocolate!! Remember Arnold Stang?

 

[and one]

Ooh, a Milky Way. I'll have that please.

For what ever reason over the years I've gotten fewer and fewer trick or treaters stop by. A small surge of the really young ones (which are the cutest anyway) and a smattering of older ones. I used to see a good number of kids who were about aged out for doing Halloween and not really in costume come by later in the evening but not in a good long while.

As a kid Halloween was huge - what's not to like about free candy and wandering the neighborhoods with my buddies? Then I aged out and was just a candy giver. Until my son came along and Halloween was resurrected, with him getting the goodies and me hanging with his friend's parents, often with a hot alcoholic beverage in hand to stave off the chill.

I loved Chunky's. It's hard to remember that Chunky's has been around for close to 100 years. I loved to eat that little square chocolate nugget with all the tasty nuts and raisins when I was 10 and still do. I am 90.

I don't remember him for the Chunky commercials but he was great in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"!

 

[MinneHusky]

M&Ms

 

[Aluminny69]

 

[Ozimoto]

Milky Way for me.

 

[AmeriConn]

Another one I don’t see in there that is my favorite is a Clark bar.

 

[Centerstream]

Snickers

He was also in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hercules in New York, which is probably the worst movie ever made.

 

[AmeriConn]

He also landed the roll of the voice of Top Cat.

If you buy a Chunky today, it no longer contains Brazil nuts or Cashews, only peanuts and of course the size changed to a much smaller size.

I was a huge Chunky fan as a kid and although it had nothing to do with my fondness for a Chunky I do remember Arnold pitching them. Times change, as did Chunkys, and at least as far as Chunkys go, not for the better.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maybe it's the product placement, but I'll have an Almond Joy, please.

 

[f1f1ferrari]

I think there's a Mounds under the Milky Way....

 

[AmeriConn]

Well, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.

 

[Veteran]

Milk duds! Where are the Milk Duds?

 

[Alydar]

I was hoping no one would pick AJ's so I could have them all. Now I have to share.

 

[AmeriConn]

Milk duds! Where are the Milk Duds?

I agree!

 

[Bigboote]

Snickers for me, thanks. The wife and daughter would go for Reese's cups. Those are all I buy at Hallowe'en. We never have any idea how many kids will show up -- could be none, could be ten groups.

 

[Hoops66]

I have to go with Baby Ruth. (Named after President Cleveland's deceased daughter.) Close second is Sky Bar though.
