MORE New Halloween Candy!

Six new sweets join the parade of 2006's Best Halloween Candy, including Spooky Nerds Ropes and Life Savers Gummies shaped like bats.

Dude tomorrow I am totally sending the interns at work to bring me 15 medium soft drinks from McDonald's. I can't stop thinking about the Monopoly pieces. I need them all. I need Boardwalk.

Pfft! What are the odds that someone in a large city will get Boardwalk? Some old lady in Bugtussle will win, but she won’t know it because she’d just throw the cup out.

I totally dig your column, man! I’m surprised I haven’t seen BODY PARTS gummy candies on your site yet I’m sure they’re on their way. Like GUMMY FANGS of last year they are both gross and actually taste good

Those pop rocks look disgusting. They have to make your mouth a mess too.

My whole problem with halloween themed candy is that it looks nasty. Especially things made to look like pumpkins. Ewwwww.

But mmmm at halloweenie marshmallows. Even the pumpkin ones, because they look really excitable.

Matt,

Woot 3rd post. Matt, bring in the 80s Halloween adds! And also have you thought about making a forum? And I could have sworn I saw you at TGIF fridays on Monday. And you never go on your AIM screen name that you posted on the FAQ! How’s that Halloween contest comin’.

Sorry just wanted to use this spot to my advantage.

I absolutely hate TGIF for a burger-related incident several months back, so you wouldn’t have caught me there. :)

“DON’T BE ALARMED, I’m a cartoony Wolfman who WILL NOT HURT YOU!”

Matt, I don’t think you fully understand your genuius!

Matt,

Well it was in California anyway so I know it wasn’t you. That’s funny you said that, because the same thing happened to me but a Mac and Cheese incident. Care to go into further context? :D

One more thing where can I get some Teen Wolf cartoon series tapes or DVD’s or mpegs or whatever, I’ve been searching for them for awhile now.

By the way, tried the Pitch Black slurpee. Just didn’t do it for me. :(

I just discovered something on my digital cable system. Under the “free pass” section is AMC Monsterfest, where you can watch a whole lot of free horror movies like Evil Dead, Day of the Dead, Sleepaway Camp, etc. Looks like I’m going to be busy. :)

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 10/05/2006 11:58 PM

Really!? Do you have Cox Digital Cable!? Tell me more!

Chestnuts roasted by Cotter @ 10/06/2006 12:00 AM

Man, fuck Boardwalk. You gotta get the FOUR RAILROADS. They’re worth $5 MILLION.

Chestnuts roasted by Brandon @ 10/06/2006 12:03 AM

I can’t believe I read this every day!

Chestnuts roasted by Anonymous @ 10/06/2006 12:11 AM

Did those Jack O’Lantern lollipops have that awesome corrugated texture on the back like the Easter ones do? I love running that up and down my tongue. I’m a sad individual.

Chestnuts roasted by Kid Nicky @ 10/06/2006 12:21 AM

I had a Pitch Black today! It was awesome.

If you go on Cox.net they have full-length horror movies and short films. Some of them are okay. I don’t have digital, so I’ll just be watching the regular Monsterfest, but that’s still okay with me!!

Chestnuts roasted by broomstickjockey @ 10/06/2006 12:29 AM

I saw those Pop Rocks at the store and wondered if they’d show up here. :D

Chestnuts roasted by Anonymous @ 10/06/2006 12:30 AM

And I can’t believe I’ve read this everyday for the last 3 years! :)

I saw an add for somekind of “Scream Awards” on Spike sometime next week…I’m not really a horror guy, but it looked right up your alley, Matt…

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 10/06/2006 12:32 AM

Yay!

Chestnuts roasted by Roadblock @ 10/06/2006 12:49 AM

I’m as big a sucker for ghosts as the next guy, or gal; but, I don’t think there’s any way I’d be able to stomach more than one of those marshmallow ghosts. On the other hand, I’d try anything flavored “Wacky Watermelon” at least once. “Freaky Fruit Punch” is kind of fun, too — reminds me something some creepy guys undoubdtedly concocted at a frat party last autumn.

Chestnuts roasted by Review the World @ 10/06/2006 1:14 AM

Yum.

Speaking of which, in the last blog I mentioned finally buying all 7 Halloween Jones Sodas. Of the new stuff, I’ve had Monster Mojito (reviewed last blog), and Creey Cranberry, which is also pretty damn good.

And like I said, they’ve only make 1 boardwalk a year, and good chance it’s on one of those big cokes that sticks to the cup if you dont remove it 20 seconds after receiving it and you’re forced to throw it out.

I’m finally gonna get some McDs tomorrow (cause it’s Friday…that’s McDsDay), and I’m thinking about suggesting to my CVS crew to pool our pieces together to see what we get (cause we usually go on McDs runs, mostly on friday)

Also, I posted a new myspace blog, detailing the evils of Starbucks expansion.

With my luck, this will be the year when I find Boardwalk, and I’m disqualified from the contest because my brother works at the McDonald’s down the street from our house.

Chestnuts roasted by Thomas @ 10/06/2006 1:29 AM

sweet, pun intended! i tried out those twistables and you were totally right they taste like pull-n-peel twizzlers used to. i rememberwhen pull-n-peel first launched they were so cheap they were practically free. me, my older brother, and his friend got our babysitter to buy us wayyy too much and then we watched ren and stimpy and spun around eating twizzlers until we got violently ill. never could eat them after that, so these twistables have a nice/gross nostalgia value to em.

Dude, I got the double Baltic! And then my fries had already been pulled! Uncool.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 10/06/2006 1:41 AM

It’s really really hard to eat while trying to read the Halloween Candy articles. Here I was, enjoying a plate of grease-laden microwave mozzerrella sticks, and all of a sudden my brain had a brief spasm, assumed I was eating Marshmallow Pumpkins and/or Ghosts and couldn’t figure out why it tasted like deep fried cheese.

Must feel good to order someone around. I wonder if I’ll ever know what it’s like to be on the directing end instead of the slavery end…

Be nice to the interns. Most of us would kill to get “experience in Nickelodeon” on our resumes.

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 10/06/2006 3:37 AM

I would kill for any experience *in Times Square*! Matt, I’d really kill for your job. Or one that doesn’t require too much creativity – I prefer sales and economics to graphics and ad design, but hey? Fetching 3000 boardwalk-possible sodas for the Mattster might fit into “experience”. Of course, I have a bad habit of murdering evilbosses, so maybe I’d beware if I were you. This one guy I bound, printed and laminated in his own office! I mailed him with extreme impoliteness even! [okay, in an alternate universe with a purple San Francisco bridge, but anyway...]

Can we get vampire smileys? With fangy smiles? I love vampires, but only the kooky Bela Lugosi sort, who spell their names backwards because plebs are stupid or call themselves Dr. Acula (same), and live in Dontgonearthe Castle. (See Terry Pratchett books. Otto the vampire photographer who undies in a pile of ash every time he uses his flash is my favourite.)

Ps, those marshmallows are going over a hot cook-out blaze before having all the juice sucked out of them. Wha ha ha haaa! Slurp!

Double edged sword, at least with the bossing-around I do. The customer service reps I work with are incapable of scratching their asses without direction, so despite my having 5548394 things to do a day, I can’t do them because I keep getting interrupted by CSRs since all of management is in meetings half the time. Plus the people in the “internet fulfillment centers” are complete artards that can’t ship out a pair of shoes without them being worn or two left sides, so they have to call me to figure it out. I’ve never seen a company so completely fucking dependent on their administrators.
