New Halloween Candy For 2006!


Today on the Halloween Countdown, iiiiit's candy! Six all new candies for the 2006 Halloween season, reviewed, right here. Article includes everything from Pop Rocks to Kellogg's Twistables, to chocolate-stuffed cardboard coffins that yelp at you. I hope your life finds new meaning by reading it.

I've been noticing that it's actually getting dark by the time I get home from work now, which on one hand makes me psychosomatically believe that I'm getting less free time than I used to, but really just means that we're autumn-bound and clam-happy. I just put myself in the mood. If I get off the computer now, there's just enough time to plop on the couch with a laptop in my crotch and a Land of the Dead DVD inside it. The computer I mean. Not the crotch. Goodnight.

Land of the Dead’s ending was too optimistic for my tastes.

I haven’t seen it yet. Haven’t heard terrific things from friends, but I adore the concept of the holed-in city.

It is an okay movie. Dario Argento’s daughter plays a hooker with a heart of gold, which probably makes it the number one zombie movie ever.

I’ve found this year’s selection of ‘Ween candy quite disappointing.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 09/19/2006 9:41 PM

Hard Rock Zombies excluded, of course.

Chestnuts roasted by Miguel @ 09/19/2006 9:42 PM

‘Haven’t seen Land of the Dead, either. I heard it was pretty good…

I really enjoyed Land of the Dead, and I usually hate any horror movie that isn’t Italian and made in the 70′s or 80′s. Don’t see what all the griping is about.
Have you see the Count Wonkula “Bloodberry” Donutz candy yet? New this year and superrrrr sugary! Kinda gross! :D

Miguel:
No shit – I am watching Hard Rock Zombies right now, for the first time. It friggin’ rules!

Those tootsie pops are the only halloween candy I’ve gotten so far this year so far! But I agree, they are a rather strange consistency…

I know if I’d gotten tiny oreos as a kid, I’d have been happy about it. It would’ve been better than some of the stuff I’ve gotten. Some pennies, cheap carnival-style stuffed animals.. =\ Good times!

Glad you guys mentioned LAND OF THE DEAD. I forgot that I need to watch it.
(This is probably my worst post ever)

What?! No orange filling in the Oreos??? Don’t they know that’s the only way I’ll eat Oreos is with spooktacular orange filling?! Nabisco is such the retard this year. I’m sticking with the big bags. (I am convinced that Halloween Oreos with orange filling taste better than regular Oreos. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Or is it just something having to do with the time of year inwhich I am eating them?)

Chestnuts roasted by broomstickjockey @ 09/19/2006 9:57 PM

I agree – orange filling = best Oreos. Gotta try the Pop Rocks, maybe with some Coke – Mikey style. I need to get out there and find some of the newer candies.

Long time reader! First… maybe second? Time poster! On my travels today, I saw this:

Just thought I’d share it.

If you really want to marry candy, come to Pittsburgh where our new mayor is only 26 – he’s bound to do some crazy shit. Like the other day, I was watching the morning news and it was apparently news that he’s the first Pittsburgh mayor to have a computer in his office. Cray-ay-ay-zay!

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 09/19/2006 10:22 PM

Chestnuts roasted by brianfax. @ 09/19/2006 10:32 PM

Pop Rocks wouldn’t be the same if they didn’t look stale.

Hallomas tree? Awesome, Sara Jane!

D’you think madd matt will grace us with his presence this year?

Chestnuts roasted by Katherine @ 09/19/2006 11:18 PM

Must…get…screaming coffin full of candy bars. I went to the Target the other day and got some Candy Corn and Berried Alive soda. I’m indifferent towards the Candy Corn. The flavor is so odd, kind of like brown sugar flavored soda. The Berried Alive soda was the balls though.

Chestnuts roasted by mudogramx @ 09/19/2006 11:19 PM

Sara Jane!, fuck that’s awesome. Halloween tree ahoy!

Chestnuts roasted by Roadblock @ 09/19/2006 11:21 PM

I just have to say this Matt: That duck pic made that article go from “great” to “nonsensically brilliant.”

I hope that Ghost With The Most will be making his grand return soon!

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 09/19/2006 11:25 PM

Oh god I want some fucking candy. God dammit motherfucking cunt licking sons of bitches.

Now I’m overly caffeinated. I’ve been sitting here for like an hour rubbing my hands all over my face and sending really inappropriate IMs. Agghhh…. I’m never going to get any work done. Shitfuck.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 09/19/2006 11:47 PM

I want to swear too :(

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 09/20/2006 12:05 AM

Sorry, dohopoki, you can only make dolphin noises.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 09/20/2006 12:06 AM

Matt, there are more than just one bag of Halloween-themed Pop Rocks out this year… and the other one is better. It comes with a fun-dip-esque-bat-shaped-sucker that you dip into the Pop Rocks. It’s awesome. They’re called Spooky Orange.
