My 2 childhood favorites were Nestles Crunch and Reese's.

However, BOTH are different now than they were then.  Reese's completely changed it's recipe and tastes nothing like the original. 
Nestles Crunch was thinner and crispier -- higher ratio of crisp to chocolate. Was MUCH better.  Also, was large and wrapped in a nice foil -- very special.

I miss the old Reese's more than anything.

Butterfingers and Heath bars are best.

Worst are Whoppers, I'd say.  Almost as bad as people who give pennies or non-caramel apples.

bags of home made popcorn were pretty pathetic too

  We buy those small bar variety packs and let the kids pick out a couple each, so everyone gets pretty much what they want. But I generally eat most of the Whoppers that are left over. My dad used to make these great chocolate malts when I was a kid, so I really developed a liking for that flavor.

whopper blizzards at DQ used to make me kinda happy, but now I-m going straight for the gourmet malted milk balls if I feel the need for one.  Whoppers are not so good, as far as MMB's go.

I remember as a kid, the day after Tick or Treat, we go to school and the teachers would tell us, NO CANDY!! But we all had candy in our pockets and the teachers knew it. So at the end of the day, the teachers would have alot of candy in their desk and they would be eating it!! So they really love Trick or Traet as much as us kids b/c they get alot of free candy also, lol

A fun dip was always worth 4 snickers in a trade when i was younger. Reesees cups were always at the top of the list too...

The worst was probably pixie sticks.

Kit Kat Bars.  The two bar packages are pretty generous and delicious.

Oh, you mean Napples.  One of our neighbors used to give those out back in the day too.  Next time instead of stumbling home just ask if you can crash for a few in the back room where he keeps all the A/V equipment.

best = chocolate.

worst = everything else.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
