	The Banana King	Happy Halloween.   Posted by The Banana King on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 9:16 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	Well it's not Halloween quite yet. So I think that means I'm allowed to wish you the very best on All Saints' Day!   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:48 PM [Reply to this]

	Constance X	Now I live in NECCO country, but I still think there's something WRONG with them ... When I worked in NYC I had an office mate, older guy, who was always having a Friday afternoon treat of NECCO wafers, and I thought it was the saddest thing in the world. "Here, want a NECCO Wafer?" "Naw, I couldn't eat your Depression candies." "They're NOT Depression candy!"   Posted by Constance X on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 9:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	I realized I had responded to almost everyone on here so I decided to just go for it and finish the job. This is like when I was impatient for Geneva Jiffylube to respond to comments so I went ahead and let her inhabit my body and did it for her. So yah... you live near Revere, MA? How close is that to Waltham? (Those things taste like sweetened alka seltzer tablets.)   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Joy Pleasure of	There was a huge NECCO plant in East Cambridge until a few years ago -- it got converted to biotech and condos -- they had a candy outlet there and my boss would stop in and buy some kind of candy on his lunch break. It was some kind of quasi-chocolate candy. NECCO, I think, made "Squirrel Nut Zippers" which I was excited to try when I first moved here. I found some kind of zippers, but not Squirrel Nut Zippers. I think they might make Mary Janes, too. Like, totally retro candy. Well, I could go on, but if you want to know about candies that didn't quite make it totally to national distribution, read _Candy Freak_ by Steve Almond.   Posted by Joy Pleasure of on October 31, 2009 - Saturday - 3:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Diane Germano	So that's what happened to Geneva!  It was sudden and very mysterious.   Posted by Diane Germano on October 31, 2009 - Saturday - 12:21 AM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	Oh my impersonation of her occurred well before her disappearance. You'd have to go sifting through the archives.   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 31, 2009 - Saturday - 4:32 AM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Neccos are okay, but they're not the kinda candy that's gonna get my tastebuds all excited. Like, they were always with the last candies that got eaten outta my Halloween bag. Tee hee!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:36 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	I don't know if I would have accepted those. I woulda been like... do you have something else? Unless they were wearing a really scary costume. That sometimes intimidated me. I remember this one guy sat on his porch in a shirt stuffed with straw, wearing a mask. And then just when you had looked at it long enough and decided it was just another one of those dummies people set up on their porch and approached the door, he suddenly stood up and started yowling... I was scared half to death!   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:57 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	There was this family that really got into it. They turned their whole house into a haunted mansion and everybody dressed up like scary monsters. They had this big masoleum crypt thing they built in the front yard. There was a bowl of candy sittin' there. Go ahead, take as much as you want. If you dare! Muah ha ha! I didn't think nothin' of it, so I went over there to get myself a big handful. Suddenly, a monster hand shot outta nowhere and grabbed my hand! Yikes! I nearly wet myself I was so scared!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:17 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	LOL they really did take it to the next level. That's awesome. Sorry you had to go home and change, though.   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Next time I go there I'll wear a diaper, just in case! Tee hee!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Savior Self	I'm a cheap ass, kiddo plus if I bought candy bars I would have been eating them all week! I bought gum and Blowpops but the gum is Tear Jerkers and this other kind with slime in the middle, so that cool right?   Posted by Savior Self on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 9:33 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	I guess slimy candy is kinda cool. Sa are sour worms. Tee hee!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	My friend Cadalack has been on the battle rap scene lately. And I think I saw one of them had stolen your name! Also... this young woman is apparently a fan of Frank Zappa. If you can sing Jewel maybe you can sing this one, too!   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Retro Electro	don't know where i heard that BUT ! I am sure the the band "Flat Earth Society" were doing ads for chocolate bars back in the day in Boston. And i mean like, If the ads company would ask them to sing about Tootsie Rolls ? "No Way !!" They were strictly in the chocolate bars business  ! and if you ask yourself, "who are those Flat earth society" band .... Well, now you know.   Posted by Retro Electro on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 9:38 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	So they agreed to do endorsements based on the same logic young trick-or-treaters use to rank their candy at the end of the day? That's pretty cool. I remember separating my loot into piles at the end of the night and the candy bars were definitely the most prized of my possessions. The generic hard candies usually got all congealed before I ever ate em.   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Retro Electro	Actually, It was their jobe Shows you how big was Rock'n'Roll back in the day...   Posted by Retro Electro on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:18 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	You see? These guys got it goin' on! Tee hee!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	Yes, I really like that song. Shaul has good taste!   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:58 PM [Reply to this]

	TRANSPARENCY	I've seen some of those kinda candies in large quantities for cheap at the 99-Cent Only Store. Butterfingers are my most readily available at cheap prices favorite. Otherwise, I'm most into Almond Roka and Score Bars. .   Posted by TRANSPARENCY on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 9:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Just watch out for the Bustedfingers, fella. Tee hee!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:43 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	What you can't afford a micro brew for the kids?   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Don't forget the candy cigarettes!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	It looks like I'm on your good list! I think the bag of Snickers I just bought is exactly identical to the one you have pictured. So that makes me a wiener not a weenie? Not sure what the difference is... but then again with these fun size Snickers being individually packaged I'm also not sure where I'm supposed to hide all these razor blades. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure something out.   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Why would you wanna put razor blades in there for? You need to shave your tongue or somethin'? That's gross, fella.   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:48 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Wood	I thought I read somewhere that's what you're supposed to do for Halloween! Give the kids a little surprise. Kinda like Cracker Jack?   Posted by Mr. Wood on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:53 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	One time there was this teenaged punk named Phillip who was puttin' dry cat food in the Tootsie Roll wrappers and passin' those out. We all got mad and told Wally about it. Wally was the champion of the neighborhood. He kicked Phillip's but the next day after school.   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 10:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Whoops! Thanks, fella.   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:10 PM [Reply to this]

	Diane Germano	Necco wafers?  Eh.  Butterfinger, no.  Raisnettes ... and naturally, Milk Duds While you stay home and eat the ... Nuts and Chews, my favorite.  See, the "good stuff" usually stays at home.  Just hope ya don't get any change.  One year, some f'ed up guy gave us change.  For real, nickles, dimes and quarters.  Guess that makes yer list pretty darn good.  Considerin', if ya know what I mean ...   Posted by Diane Germano on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:37 PM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	Yeah, all the houses that give anythin' - anythin' at all - besides candy are all lame. Loose change, Cracker Jack toys, even comic books - that kinda stuff all sucks. No kid wants that for Halloween! Gimme gimme candy! One time I went to this house that was handin' out these little pamphlets about how Halloween is the devil's holiday and all that. Are you kiddin' me? What kinda crap is that? Cupid needs her Tootsie Rolls!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 30, 2009 - Friday - 11:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Diane Germano	Well, I asked my brother why the guy gave us change.  He told me that the guy didn't have anything else and he just wanted to give us somethin'. Oh, man ... then I started fellin' sorry for the guy.  Wrecked that Halloween.   Posted by Diane Germano on October 31, 2009 - Saturday - 12:28 AM [Reply to this]

	Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer	That guy should've just turned out the porch light and gone back in the house. Cupid needs her Tootsie Rolls!   Posted by Cupid the Pink-Nosed Reindeer on October 31, 2009 - Saturday - 12:37 AM [Reply to this]
