What Your Choice Of Halloween Candy Says About You

Washington Post:

Halloween looms and with it the annual candy-buying frenzy. While dieters stock up on candy they don't like so they won't be tempted by leftovers, the rest of us buy the stuff we do like and hope that only one or two of those pesky little costumed punks comes a-knocking. (And even then, we smack their grabby hands if they dig too deep: "Hey, pal, you're only 5 years old. One Butterfinger for you!")

Aw, hell, just give the kids coins...nickels, dimes, quarters, depending on your economic level and size of your stash. No worries about poisons, no need to shop (just raid your piggy bank) and the kids are pleased as hell to get some money to buy their own candy. Problems all solved.

That's what I'm doing this year. Got a roll of quarters. I'll probably still be left with about $7.50.

As for candy, what I really want is either a dark chocolate Almond Joy or a Mounds with almonds.

I'm shocked--SHOCKED--that there is no mention of raisins!
