Hallowe'en Candy Overload

[bjarvis]

Every year, kent4str and I have the same debate about candy.

There aren't a lot of kids in our neighbourhood so there's not much trick-or-treating. Still, there are a few visitors so we always have some candy on hand, just in case. I argue that we should have a small inventory of candy we personally like as we'll be stuck with the leftovers and I can't bear throwing anything out. kent4str maintains that if we only distribute candy popular with kids but stuff we ourselves don't especially like, we'll be less likely to stuff our own faces with the leftovers. Thus, we now ask you, the voters, in yet another pointless poll:

[Poll #857534]
In any case, the Coffee Crisp bars are mine, ya little twerps.

Additional Hallowe'en candy advice is always welcome.

I take a bunch of our left-over stuff & throw it in the freezer as part of my "earthquake supplies". I figure if we do have another big earthquake, munching down on even mediocre chocolate candy might make me a little less depressed.

While the east coast is a bit less susceptible to major earthquakes, there have been major power outages or even bad republican bills being made into law.

Republicans?

Y'know ... sometimes, even GOOD chocolate just can't get rid of the bad taste in my mouth left by the Republicans.

And I haven't [knowingly] played with a Republican in YEARS.

And we do get hurricanes this far north!
