I have heard tell of people capable of buying Halloween candy weeks before the holiday and not eating it before the trick-or-treaters come.

Apparently I am not one of those people.

What? Reese's peanut butter cups are a perfectly healthy lunch!

Reeeessseess ::guuuuhhhhhh::

seriously, who could *not* be tempted

Ours tends to sit there for weeks, and then continues to sit there for another 3-4 months before someone finally throws it away.

Nobody eats candy in this house--apparently, we're all strange.

seriously? Seriously? *blinks* seriously?

that's so healthy. And odd. I mean, good for you.

The main reason I don't, is because it's always made me sick--the smell alone is horrible. Everyone else just isn't intersted, but they could probably manage a bite.

In this house, we mostly eat fish from Captain D's. And potatoes and carrots and a little bit of pot roast (or chicken--it varies each week, and I don't touch the pot roast) in the crock pot on Sundays. Mom might eat a brownie once every few months.

Oh, and to show how strange we are: Mom bought two tins of brownies for me (because it's the only sort of sweet thing I can stand, that doesn't make me sick--they make it a special way, apparently) from HSN. They lasted a year and a half. Then, they had to be thrown out because they had melted.

Edited to add something I remembered once I saw a comment below. Last winter, Mom found a chocolate Easter Bunny in the back of the fridge. The last time anyone had bought one was when I was 5 or 6. I'm 27 now. She threw it away.

wow. that must suck- having the smell make you ill.

*yipes* at the Easter bunny surprise!

It's that, and the fact that it would probably tear out my fillings if I could eat candy.

We never would have found that thing if the fridge hadn't practically blown up in a few spots.

It is not a good sign when food decides to go commando and attack things!

I've had a bag of chocloate "toes" and "eyeballs" and such in my desk drawer for a month, waiting to be distributed to the students. :) I'm still working on the bag of chocolate eggs I bought at Easter - and it's possible it was last Easter. I like chocolate, I just don't eat very much at a time, or very often, I guess!

*mind boggles* maybe I should have bought candy I didn't like that much

I bought holiday mix: pumpkins, Indian and candy corn.

that I could have stayed away from. It was the yummy combo of chocolate and peanut butter that spelled my doom

I'm sensitive to chocolate and hate peanut butter

oh, then pb cups are not for you!

I never met chocolate or pb I didn't like

Really? I thought those people only existed in fairy tales.... I mean, I've heard stories about them but I've never actually met one....

*looks at other comments* they exist! It's scary, but apparently they exist!

Hunh.... weird. It's like meeting big foot.... I am so incapable of resisting the temptation (hence why my halloween candy is safely locked away from me right up until Halloween (and even then some of it falls victim before even a single trick-or-treater can get any... except for that one year where some kid showed up at, like, 3 in the afternoon. Seriously, I think he got off the schoolbus, thre on his costume post hast and then sprinted to my front door. No joke. It kinda creeped me out, actually.... I thought it was the UPS guy....)

I usually know better and buy it the day or so before, but it was on sale and I had a coupon....

there is *always* a ridiculously early trick-or-treater or two. It's a law

I was about to say that those people are entirely mythical, but then...I read comments. *stares* I need to borrow some willpower from them, apparently. Seriously, I buy my Halloween candy two days before. Sometimes the day before.

I would have sworn they are mythical too!!

Willpower... I think I've heard of that too....

If you find some, tell me where.

I think mine has been hijacked by this scary guy *points to icon*

I thought the ideal lunch was a Coke and a Snickers. Or maybe that's just when you're stuck in lab...

that works too- snickers have peanuts, peanuts= protein....

See!

This is why I don't buy Halloween candy until the day before.

I was weak.

and stupid

I really can't blame you. It's just all sitting there, calling to you, pretty much anytime you walk into a store.

and it was on sale! And... and... and...

It's Reese's!

exactly! Those things are sinful

And sooooo delicious.

god yes. chocolate+pb= yummerific

My favorite is the pumpkin shaped ones, because the ratio of pb to chocolate is higher.

OMG yes. they have x-mas tree and easter egg ones too with equal pb maddness. ♥

Yes! They're so amazing.

I love going to the store the day after the holiday and buying a huge handful of them at half-off

Oh, man, the day after is ALWAYS the best.

The sneaky thing is to buy one of those packages of 6. USually they are on sale for $1, while the single eggs/pumpkins whatever are 50 cents each

I did that at TARGET one year. So. Tasty.

one year, yeah.... right. I lean more towards once a year

Well, I lived by WalMart, before...
