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.

My attempts to wean myself off sweets was almost destroyed by these articles until the marshmellows showed up on the scene. Now I’m a gagosaurus.

I’m surprised you like the lollipop/pop-rocks combo so much…I thought you hated anything grape flavored!

John The Gummy Body Parts have already been reviewed. I think it may be a couple years back, or maybe last years, something tells me 2 years ago? Can’t be bothered to look but it’s there. Got a bag myself this year.

Also seen those generic bag of marshmellow shapes in every store but they never looked daring enough for me to buy them.

And i don’t think i will, as i found EVEN BETTER marshmellows.

They were in this transparant-like pumpkin and in individual clear bags with ‘Happy Halloween’ on them.

At first i was a lil dissapointed as they’re just shaped like regular marshmellows.

But when i bit into one, HOLY HELL was i pleasantly surprised. Blood red ooze inside !

I doubt you could find a better Halloween marshmellow, and that includes Peeps.

for those of you who are privileged enough to know what i’m talking about, I just consumed an eat ‘n park smiley cookie with a pumpkin face on it. and here’s a little treat I discovered:

Ok, I have to ask, even if someone else already has…what’s Halloweeny about “wacky watermelon”? There’s nothing spooky about that. All it makes me think of is a pink piece of candy, and maybe it’s cut into a crazy shape. Pink is not a scary color.

In regards to the Orange Pops… I’m surprised you didn’t stick the pumpkin face to your tongue for a few seconds in order to transfer the macabre jack o’lantern to your tongue – thus turning your tongue into a frightful site indeed

Im pretty sure Im in love with this guy.

I actually have Mediacom. It also has WWE 24/7 which is also Halloween themed this months with old Halloween Havocs, and things like Papa Shango, Undertaker, Brood, and other spooky characters.

Wow, a lollypop with pop rocks. I gotta find one! And ya know, I can see where they would “hurt” a little more. The force of being sucked off of a hard lollypop would increase the force of explosion on the tongue, since it’s confined on both sides. And I swear to God I could feel it as I read about them.

Imagine what the candy jars at Nick must look like! That would be a good article: “What we have on our desks every holiday.”

Hey, you know what would be awesome? If the Year’s Best Halloween Candy Part 3 entry was in 3-D! And the Friday the 13th Part 3 theme song played in the background.

I got some of those spooky orange pop rocks, and I was super excited to try it, but I really don’t like the grapey flavor of the lollipop. :(

Nizzler – I tried to get a pumpkin-tattoo on my tongue from those Charms lollipops, but it didn’t work on me.. So maybe they weren’t meant for that purpose, my tongue sucks, or my batch of them did. =\

When I was a kid I had a Christmas version of those Pumpkin pops that had Santa Claus on it. I tried to bite it, for some unknown reason, and promptly broke my tooth. Good thing it was a baby tooth, because I’d be feeling stupid for that for the rest of my life.

We got some chocolate body parts a couple weeks ago, they were fantastic. The eyeballs were essentially chocolate truffles. We got some of those gummy eyeballs from Target last week and I must say that they were fuckin’ disgustin’. They had an awful taste. Try mixing the taste of marshmallow with the texture of a soft gummy candy. It’s not as good as you would think.

Those spooky marshmallows may not be fun to just pop in your mouth, but they look fun-tastic when put into the cocoa you drink after a long night of trick or treating. Here in WA, Halloween can sometimes be pretty cold and/or wet.

Chestnuts roasted by Tiare @ 10/06/2006 3:47 PM

dammit Matt, youve made me get McDs two days in a row. How dare you affect my life in such a way.

Chestnuts roasted by Jack @ 10/06/2006 4:04 PM

freudguy,
You got me thinking. Why hasn’t Cadbury jumped on the Halloween bandwagon? It would only take about 10 minutes for them to reform those eggs into the best chocolate covered eyeballs ever made.

Chestnuts roasted by Wenthral @ 10/06/2006 4:08 PM

I agree with Jack- I don’t even LIKE McDonald’s, yet I find myself wanting to go all the time now, due to the Monopoly excitment…

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 10/06/2006 6:20 PM

What the hell is that blue-green thing? A spooky bell pepper? Evil Jalapeno? …Not that I’m complaining; i’d like to see little pepp-o-lanterns.

I had a bad experience at TGIFriday’s a few months ago, and I haven’t wanted to eat there since. My boyfriend and I ordered potato skins, and when they got to our table we noticed that one of them was all fucked up. The little scooped out potato boat was half blackened, because it was clearly made with a rotting potato. I don’t know if the restaurants prepare the potatoes themselves or if they get them shipped in frozen from the TGIFatherland, but someone along the line took a rotten, mushy potato and covered it with cheese and bacon. And our server didn’t notice/care, he just gave us a bored insincere apology when we asked not to be charged for the potato skins.

broomstickjockey,

Are you saying that you can watch full length movies on the cox website (www.cox.net)? If so where? If not what are you speaking of?

Chestnuts roasted by Cotter @ 10/06/2006 6:55 PM

Sadly haven’t seen any of these new ones yet but the Nerds rope. I don’t buy a lot of candy, though I’d still like to pick up some candy pumpkins before the end of the season.

Haven’t been to McDonald’s either, partially because I hate their food and no amount of Monopoly is going to change that, partially because I haven’t been in the McD’s area recently (the closest McD’s is over by the library, and I’ve just been too busy for the library of late).

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 10/06/2006 8:22 PM

I like those marshmallows. They are shaped well, for a themed junk food.
I’m not a McD’s bound person most of the time. Something about the buns disturbs me. But I am sure I’ll be there to get the boy some happy meals before the Monopoly fest is over.
It’s forcasted to snow here next week. Made my day to see that.

FYI: There will be a Countdown article tonight, but it will probably be up a bit late.

FYI 2: It is SO FALLY out.
