Only one more week until the kids come out and collect their bounty. Here’s a list from Guff.com of some candy that should never cross your mind to buy when you’re shopping. Sadly, we sell # 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 at CVS in Halloween packaging so there are going to be some kids who go home disappointed. And I disagree with #4, who doesn’t like candy corn? That’s un-American. Next thing you know they’ll be saying not to buy Peeps for Easter. Boo.
1.Nik L Nips
Nik L Nips! Because nothing tastes better than Oompa Loompa spit mixed with wax!
Necco Wafers
Sure, they may callously shatter your teeth, but for those who truly love the taste of chalk, the risk is worth the reward!
Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses
How does Mary Jane make her delightful Peanut Butter Kisses? Well, first, she slaughters a herd of little peanut butter sprites. Then, she melts their souls into a slimy candy. Finally, she gives each individually wrapped candy a kiss.
Also, Mary Jane is Satan.
Candy Corn
Yayyy!!! Earwax!!!
Bit-O-Honey
These Coolidge-era candies taste like a “bit-o-ass.”
Sugar Daddy
What the Sugar Daddy lacks in taste, it more than makes up for in the ability to savagely rip out your fillings.
Circus Peanuts
Not a marshmallow, not a taffy, not a peanut…but rather a giant goober sneezed up by some dirty circus carny.
Homemade Treats
You put in a lot of time and effort into making these, they probably taste 10x better than any store bought candy, and guess what? No parent on earth is going to let their kid eat unsealed, homemade candy.
You’re probably a nice person, but my mom thinks you’re the Unabomber.
Black Jack Gum
Do you like gum, but wish it tasted like hungover Sambuca burps? Then this is the perfect treat for you!
Good and Plenty
“Good and Plenty?” More like “Bad and Now I’m Going to Smash the Jack-O-Lanterns on Your Porch.”
Raisins
Mmm, they taste yummy and they are healthy!
You know what else are healthy? The eggs that I will use to nourish your car.

Apples
Oh sweet! On a night designated for candy, you’ve just given me my least favorite part of lunch.
This apple is going through your window, lady.

Pennies
Only four more houses like this, and I’ll be able to afford my very own Bit-O-Honey! What a thoughtful treat! Also, who hurt you as a child?

Religious Pamphlets
Religious Pamphlets on Halloween: Responsible for more atheist conversions than Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Ricky Gervais combined.
Floss
Brought to you by the same sadistic minds that killed Cecil the Lion.
