Thread: What Candy Went First?

Tweet

Our tally this year was:

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups: 8 Jumbo Bags
Snickers: 4 Jumbo bags
Milky Way: 4 Jumbo bags
Kit Kat: 4 Jumbo bags
Three Musketeers: 2 Jumbo bags
Hersheys: 4 Jumbo bags
Hershey's w/ Almonds: 4 regular bags
Heath Bars: 2 regular bags
Nestle Crunch: 2 regular bags
Spooky Nerds: 4 Jumbo bags (but I robbed all the orange ones out... they are my one candy weakness)

The first thing we ran out of was the Reeses, even though we had 8 jumbo bags!!! It seems like it's just not possible to have enough of those things! The Hershey bars went next, although I suspect some of the Hershey's with Almonds might have been diverted by suspicous family members, so it looks like the Hershey products were better liked than the M&M/Mars products. The Heath bars and fruit punch Spooky nerds were the last to go out of the bowl.

Was age dependant at our place.

Older kids preferred chips and soda, younger ones the full size bars...

We mix everything together so it all depends on what we throw into the bowl. Also, we were giving away playdo, temp. tats, stickers, glow stick bracelets and necklaces. I also had sheets of stickers and a beany baby for just that cutiest costume. Unfortunatley hubby didn't give away much of the stickers and never did give away the beany baby so I boxed everything back up for next years children. I'll eat all the left over candy myself.

We gave out 3 types of full size bars: Butterfinger, Kit Kat, and Snickers. It surprised me that the Kit Kats were the first to go; I figured the Butterfingers would be first. We ended up with 3 left over Butterfingers and about 20 Snickers.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, the home of the Clark Bar, I grew up loving those, but when I went in the Navy in 1979 I couldn't get Clark Bars outside of Pittsburgh and started eating Butterfingers. They are great!
