This list of the worst candies to give at halloween includes toothbrushes commonly given by dental professionals. My dentist when I was a kid not only gave out toothbrushes but floss and a stern lecture on the way out the door for me and my parents. Jerk.


Nine Replies to I Hate Dentists At Halloween

I have to agree with the commenter who wrote the following:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this lumping Smarties in with Necco wafers? One is awesome, the other repulsive. The more Smarties, the better, is my halloween motto.

I disagree with this one
It looks like chocolate and sort of smells like chocolate, but the mini brown tubes are not real chocolate. They taste like watered-down chocolate, and have a chewy texture that will strip the fillings right off your molars.

that said we don't do candy...we do toys, superballs, erasures, gumby's etc....seems to have made us a hit with the neighborhood....every yea we add a new toy to the bowl along with what we didn't give away the previous year

Erasures? The whole band, and you just give them away! ;)

I'm one of those a-holes who turns off all the lights and hides until November 1st. I can't deal with all the kids a-knockin' on my door all night.

no not the band (though I do beleive the 80 could have done without them) the things on the top of a pencil

Well, at least that's one that I won't have to worry about fighting you for. And I'm willing to bet that many trick-or-treaters feel the same way about *erasers*.

It's funny. We buy what we always think is plenty of candy and it usually is. But we always plan ahead by taking the girls out early, sorting through their sugary crap and pulling out what they don't like (or more importantly, what Daddy doesn't like) and have that as an emergency stash of giveaways.

people seem to love the eyeball superballs though

Steve, you Smartie, you... ;-)

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

Because it's Iran Defense Week, their military was on parade to show their strength. Ahmadinejad claimed there were no gay men in the country. Perhaps, but a lot of them resemble Lady Gaga (Scoopy joke). Go »

Ice Cream That Would Make Homer Simpson Retch

In all honesty, I felt physically ill after about 1/3 of the way through this list. I could actually taste some of this nauseating stuff and it made my stomach churn. I don't even want to know what raw horseflesh flavor is like. Go »

Halloween Post #6: Celebrities In Costume

Small sampling of early costume parties. I don't remember vampires draping themselves in roadkill but what do I know. And Diddy looks like he's holding the head of Elvis. Go »

Compassion

I haven't posted since the incident in January and used that time to do a lot of soul-searching. A lot of it was fruitless. I told my boss' boss of the circumstances behind my asking for a day off because my boss was vacationing at the time. Go »
