It's diabetes day!! Let's get those kids amped up with sugar!

I have a yuge bag of variety candy, but it has Reese's, Snickers, M&M's, Twix, Kit Kat, Hershey's... but I think this lets the kids pick the one they like.

Let's see where this poll goes.

The last 2 answers are both correct.

Pretty sure only white dudes for Harris like candy corn.

Every time I read ā€œTwixā€ my mild dyslexia makes me think of Victor809.

Nope, not true. Now the crap made with high fructose corn sugar is shit candy, as is any candy made with that poison.

Now, the best candy is a Mallo Cup.

Candy corn is good. So are those little pumpkins.

The battle for supremacy between Peanut M&Ms and Kit Kat wages on.

smashin little pumpkins and orange corn...odd that although I like that stuff I only ever taste them a week or so before and a few days after Halloween...in moderation of course...

but I still voted for the last choice...


why no love for hard candy like Jolly Ranchers or Lemonhead?

I quit all sugar several years ago...

Snickers is the best one for you, but I'm going to have to go with Twix. I really like them.

I used to take Snickers with me on my hikes, in place of a protein bar. Snickers and Jack Links beef jerky have fueled many adventures.

For the most part I’mma equal opportunity candy eater, especially when I was a youngun’. My filling-studded teeth are testament to that.

While I ended up voting for Reese’s, my true #1, seven days a week candy is milk chocolate covered macadamia nuts. ā€˜Course those are too good (…as well as too expen$ive…) to give out to kids. And besides, I’d bet most parents would snatch them away anyway. 🤣

Reese's are the bomb

Twix run a reasonably close 2nd

Candy corn are probably the old grease scraped from out of a fume hood, sweetened, and painted to look edible

Ed Zachary! I like Reese's the best... then probably Snickers, Twix and Kit Kat... also love peanut M&M's. Like RobertHively, I have been severely limiting my sugar intake. I did not eat ONE piece of candy I got for the kids for Halloween.

I've only been putting a tiny amount of sweet cream in my coffee in the morning. I still eat bread, but I shoot for less than 50 grams of carbs daily.

On a related note... the amount of candy wrappers I saw in the neighborhood on the dog walk this morning makes me want to slap the sh*t out of some parents and never give out candy again. WTF? Dirtbags.

if you eat more carbs than you'd like, increase the fiber in your diet...
it changes the amount of "net" carbs you've ingested.
make sure to read the bottom of the nutrition breakdown for those sneaky added sugars.

That said, being a human with lots of faults...snickers, then reeses cups (dark chocolate).

can't list the very best though due to availability, but Conan and Jamie have sent me some great chocolates over the years

Lillie Belle’s now has ice cream sandwiches in the summer.

Scratch cookies and ice cream….and they are NOT shy with the butter in the cookies. Lordy….they have jacked prices are they were listing it for sale earlier this year.
