Halloween Machine!

**RU Joe** · 10-12-2009, 12:44 AM

This thread is for your Halloween vids, pics, games, and other stuff.

I will start it off with one of my favorites, a show which is based on Halloween itself:

Who the hell wants chips for Halloween? Btw are you using the British term or the American? Either way I can't see anyone wanting them.

This reminds me of one Halloween when I was younger. We were drinking at a friends house when some kids came to the door. We weren't expecting it so we had no candy(or we ate it I can't remember). One girl decides it's a good idea to give them waffles and little baggies of plain lays chips. Needless to say they all ended up thrown at the house a couple minutes after.

**RU Joe** · 10-12-2009, 02:30 AM

DB, sometimes there are special tiny bags of potato or corn (nacho) chips *(packets of crisps in England)
with Halloween prints on them.
Btw, when I say 'chips' I am using the Canadian term.

Yeah I know not everyone likes the same stuff, but tell me if you know anyone who likes these:
(naturally I can't find a pic right now)

they are a light brown caramel which seem to be flavored lightly with licorice and something else (it could be garbage since it tastes so bad), and they have pics of bats, black cats, and pumpkins or sometimes just skulls on orange wrappers.

SOMEONE must have tried these awful things besides me!

So what's the difference?

You'll have to post a picture or give us a name before I can comment on how nasty that candy is.
If its flavored with black licorice then yeah, it's probably disgusting.

I think they are made by a company called Goetze. But Im not entirely sure. Those are the candies every kid never eats and then they end up melting all over wherever they stashed them at...

**Dudebro** · 10-12-2009, 04:22 AM

I know the candy you're talking about but that name isn't right, it turned up some bad results on google.

Everyone knows Canadian chips are the best.
Just like our bagged milk.

Yeah no kidding.
I don't think a DOG would eat those things!

Actually they are made by Allen candy company, who also make a lot of easter candies.
The one and only pic I could find is the kind you can't copy the URL to post it here, you know?
Otherwise I would definitely have put one up to WARN THE WORLD OF THE DANGER!!

**bakingumby** · 10-12-2009, 04:49 AM

I stand corrected.

**Tails** · 10-12-2009, 05:09 AM

This?

**RU Joe** · 10-12-2009, 05:21 AM

No, the ones I am talking about are a standard sized toffee in an orange wrapper twisted at both ends with either bats and cats or skulls on them, and they are made by Allen candy company.
Those licorice/choc logs look pretty bad, though.

What is it with these weird candies anyways?
Do they have 'leftovers' at the candy factory and just slap these things together regardless of how the final product will taste?

**Dudebro** · 10-12-2009, 05:30 AM

I think most of the weird candies are leftovers from the older generation. They didn't have snickers in the 1800s. I bet they had candy corn though.

**bakingumby** · 10-12-2009, 10:49 AM

No, I was reffering to the same candies you're speaking of which look very similar to these in my opinion except without Halloween designs on them, hence my mistake.

Yasly, you have it right.
(don't tell me that you actually like them)
Funny that there are so few pictures of these on the net.... seems like they want to keep it a secret or something.

I LOVE THEM!
I spent 15 minutes looking for a picture of them and couldn't find it.
It's not like they're uncommon. You get them every halloween.

I was afraid of that.
Here I am going on about how awful they are....

I used the search engine 'Metacrawler' and found one pic, which cannot be posted here since you can't copy and paste the URL.

Apparently you and I are the only ones who know what these things are.
Are you Canadian?
Maybe they are only made by Allen for Canada?

**JKool** · 10-12-2009, 02:19 PM

I am Canadian. I'm from Toronto.

**zarny** · 10-12-2009, 03:01 PM

I love those toffee candies too. They get stuck in your teeth alot.

Attachment 857

Those candies look darker than I'm used to but I like them. It does have a funny name when you try to search for it though. I suggest searching with a moderate level or better to avoid horrible pictures that cannot be unseen.

If these Goetze's are the same ones I'm thinking of then they are very common. I see them in every store that carries candy.

**Dojah** · 10-13-2009, 04:56 AM

Maybe something like this?

**Dudebro** · 10-13-2009, 05:19 AM

Yup that's more like it. Not the best candy but not bad.

**RU Joe** · 10-13-2009, 07:12 AM

These were one of my favorite things to get on Halloween when I was young, and later on

I ALMOST HAD TO GO TO A '12 - STEP' PROGRAM FOR THEM:

I had such a heavy twizzler (and pepsi) habit that I was trying to figure out a way to tie them end-to-end so I wouldn't have to reach for another one.
(while playing Duke Nukem, naturally.)

STRONG with the DARK SIDE are they.
Once you start down the twizzler path, forever will they dominate your destiny.

The Goetze (Goat's?) caramel/toffee (what's the difference?) looks like the same kind I have seen made by Kraft.
I have seen those used to make candy apples, which are not bad but hard on your teeth.

Why not just use the twizzlers as straws and eat them as you go along?

**RU Joe** · 10-13-2009, 07:24 AM

The chemical composition of the twizzlers was not resilient to the corrosive action of the pepsi, resulting in progressive twizzler breakdown throughout the course of trying to use it as a straw.

In other words, when you try to use a twizzler as a pepsi straw, it will degrade into a mushy mess in the can that you won't want to eat after.
(unless you are a heavy addict of them like I was)
Even Duke Nukem cannot help this.

**JKool** · 10-13-2009, 11:29 AM

Twizzlers are good but tootsie rolls are the best candies in the world.
