Why can't we have saki Kit Kats? Clearly a sign of America's decline.

Kit Kats are great. The Japanese love 'em. If you want your mind blown, go into an H Mart and check out all the different Kit Kat varieties offered in Japan. 

I prefer Reese's peanut butter cups. Don't know the variations on them but I gather they exist. 

When I was a kid, a full-size Snickers was the grand prize. 




From the rabbit hole:

In 2004, the green tea flavor was introduced.<7> Since then, the product has been sold in more than 300 seasonal and regional flavors.<1><2> The top-selling flavor of the candy bar in 2010 was soy sauce.<5> Nestlé attributes the success of the flavor varieties to the tradition of omiyage, in which regional specialties are brought back for family and co-workers from trips away.


Soy Sauce?

In a shocking bit of cluelessness... my cousin lives in a town that now has an arms race at Halloween.  

Full-size bars....King-size bars... thousands of dollars on candy.  

Knowing that you can score a full nights candy in a few houses (if you know where they are...) kids from all over the area now flock to the town.

Speaking of - general conversation here today, does anyone remember the 'say no to drugs' and 'nope to dope' messages on lemonheads and a few other candies back in the 80s-90s?

The Best Candy to Hand Out to Trick-or-Treaters, According to Kids
“There is a house in our neighborhood that sets up a table with whole bags of a single brand of candy and kids get to pick the one they want, though I watched a kid choose a whole bag of Dots over Smarties last year."

I got the same, wonder what our overlap is?  

I'm in the weirdo camp that likes several of these a lot. Sometimes the need moderation, and some of the 'modern' versions are crap, but I buy a small bag of (high quality) candy corn every year and really enjoy it. I'm done with it by the time we start to put up Turkey day decorations, but it's an enjoyable tradition. And yeah, #1 sucks.

The higher quality candy corn is usually pretty good, and I like some of the "old school" candies they listed.  There are definitely a couple on there that I never liked, even when I was a little kid, #1 for example.
I only got 7 of the "favorite candies "as well.  #1 was also easy there.
