Rejected Halloween candy. The kids have been piling their unwanted candy on my desk, and I've been eating too much of it. Twizzlers, Skittles, Swedish Fish, Dots, Nerds, Sweetarts.→[More:]I'm enjoying them, mostly, but they aren't very good for me. The only thing I've rejected myself were the 2 Gummy Eyeballs. That just crosses a line for me, somehow.

Which ones would you reject?

I'll take the SweeTarts off your hands. I love those chalky little candy-pills.

I like almost all that stuff! Twizzlers, Skittles, Nerds!

The office kitchen is piled with candy today.

I'd also be happy to take some of the twizzlers, skittles and sweetarts. I don't get trick or treaters so this year I didn't even buy candy. I was near the donut place yesterday so I picked up two chocolate frosted donuts instead.

The Twizzlers are my favorites. I have even bought those for myself in the past. Skittles are so damn hard! But I think they're OK as long as I can keep from hoping they'll be like M&Ms. The kids are holding on to their Snickers bars, Peppermint Patties, M&Ms and the other good stuff.

Gummy Eyeballs sound good. I'd reject the Swedish Fish and Sweetarts. Yech!

Gimme the Skittles and Sweetarts.

Each year we've been getting fewer and fewer kids. We've overbought the last two years and no one came after 8pm. I think we'll stop handing out candy next year.

Nerds!!
Skittles, SweeTarts!
Swedish Fish, Dots. They'll do in a pinch.
Twizzlers? Meh, I'd eat one or two.

I bought and consumed a bag of Sweetarts pre-Halloween because the candy was packaged in such a way that I could pick through the bags to find one with a high percentage of orange ones. Still miss the yellow ones.

I'd take the gummies off your desk too.

I was cleaned out by a teenager, who took half the bowlful in the gloom, when my back was turned. I suppose he was only thinking of my health ... ;-)

Eating all the Laffy Taffy and BottleCaps from the Wonka assortment...leaving the Nerds for Mr. Arkham. Not sure what we're gonna do with the SweeTarts.

Grind them up into powder. Sprinkle like fairy dust.
