At the risk of getting too political we should drop a million pounds of that shit on the Taliban, give them a real bellyache...

I've liked it ever since I was a kid. I also like the related "harvest mix" or "Autumn mix" and the pumpkin-shaped candies.
I see the Halloween candy displays are already up in some stores. It's August, folks. I like Halloween but it's too early for this stuff.
It's always been like that. Heck last year the Kroger store I work at had the Halloween stuff out the last day of July. This year though the Halloween stuff still hasn't come in yet.
shareNot always. I can remember when you would see Halloween candy in October... maybe the last week of September at the earliest. Never in July or August.
I think a lot of it has to do with the U.S. Congress extending that idiotic Daylight Savings Time into the first week of November back in 2007, effectively ruining Halloween. There were rumors that the candy manufacturers were pushing for this, believing it would increase sales. What they failed to realize is that when the clocks are messed up the kids lose an hour of trick-or-treating, especially when the holiday falls on a school night.
My guess is they lost sales in October and are trying to compensate for this by putting up displays as early as July. Another way to cheapen the holiday experience. If anyone has another theory I would be interested to hear it.
No, I don't.
shareNot since about age 7. Gave it up at about the same time as jelly beans? But I don't eat any candy any more .... but those are especially vile.
shareWhen I was a kid, certain candies were considered a rip off by us kids when trick or treating. Circus peanuts, Smarties, Mary Janes, and candy corn were among them. But candy corn is alright, I guess.

Love it!

Ew, no. I like chocolate, English toffee, butter mints, salt water taffy, and really good gum drops or fruit-shaped gumdrops. But I rarely have any of those. Except chocolate.
The only thing worse than candy corn are those hideous orange-colored, (supposedly) banana-flavored circus peanuts.
