Halloween night

[Mendalla]

Only on WC2. You guys are weird. Okay, so maybe not "nobody" (sorry to be "absolutest" but hardly anyone likes getting raisins. It's a known Halloween fact with probably 3 generations now.) look up "worst Halloween treats" and raisins top just about every list.

There's no accounting for the taste of the Internet public. Really.

Speaking of taste, I created the best marinade I have ever made on Halloween.

Just did a quick bit of reading. Scanned a few lists. Raisins weren't at the top of any, but they appear in just about all. Thing is, so what? Those lists are just the opinions of some writers who need to cobble something together for the end of October. Fact is, the raisin trade is in the millions each year. Some of those lists were so crazy, they included black jellybeans among the worst candies. Black is easily my favorite flavor in jellybeans, gumdrops, gummies, and lollies.

Once you go black...

On some lists raisins rank just above toothbrushes and pennies.

Buzzfeed asks "what kind of monster (gives out raisins)?" And says "oh hell no!"

Yes, on several of the lists. Molasses Kisses, Dots, raisins, Necco Wafers, apples...

To each their own, I say.

Going back to the raisins, for me part of the fun was the little red boxes we used to get them in.

It's a popular (or should I say, unpopular) theme, @Mendalla. Enough to get its own sarcastic greeting card!

Chicklet boxes! Don't think there are chiclets any more. Neither of thos spellings look right. But you could blow in the chicklet box with the celephane window to make kazoo noises.

Empty ones could be used as noisemakers.

Same with raisin boxes.

No, but when life gives you lemons/ raisins...

What are mojo's?

About the raisin boxes - since we couldn't afford to buy the real stuff, they were our Lego.

Not a fan of that either, unless there's a decent amount of rum in it! I'm just not generally a dried fruit fan.

When it says "smarties" that's the US version of those little rolls of pastel coloured, pill shaped, sour-sweet powdery candy. They're like (or could be) "sweet tarts". The same thing is called something else here - because Canadian Smarties are awesome!

But I actually liked those little pastel candies...

Stay/stare away from Semite men as potential soul mates ... they tend towards palms and figs and you might object to that feel ... a variegated hand?

There is that palms up sense of a lift tho' ... Levantine? Such sacred things can be buoyant if you get the right one at the right time place and dark situation ... keep up the quest!

Holy sects as from a far reach?
