It's annoying. Carloads of punkass teenagers running amok in my neighborhood. And they dont even wear costumes. I don't like giving free candy to a kid who can't even put on a sheet and be ghost... We had about 30 this year before we turned out our light to avoid the teenagers. Plus, we had beer to drink and answering the door every 10 minutes got old.

I was mortified as we always gave out the worst candy. It was partially that we were poor (five kids, one income, Catholic school) and partially that my mom's taste buds are for shit and she actually likes them - A LOT - and it would never occur to her that others don't like them. Did anybody hear about the woman here in the Detroit area who actually refused to give candy to 4-year-olds if their parents were going to vote for Obama? She didn't give a crap if the kids went away crying. She actually asked people and point blank refused to give the children any candy. Special place in hell.

Mary Jane's come in small rectangular bars about the size of those tickets you get when you buy into a raffle. They are individually wrapped and usually hard as hell to open--because they've survived six years on a shelft--and another 14 months in the bottom of a candy bucket where they've melted and reformed so many times they are now melded into their wax paper wrapper. The wrapper actually says "Mary Jane" and has a picture of a little girl circa 1950 on it. However, I can see the connection because the Mary Janes and the black and orange things taste identical. They may very well be Mary Janes sporting a different wrapper and mold. However, they are tasty--you know, once all the Snickers and Reece Cups are devoured (usually with in the first 15-minutes post trick or treat). ...but it beats an apple or a free small fries at Wendy's--those require too much work and adult intervention.
