But I loved popcorn balls. There was a lady in my neighborhood that made them herself and handed them out on Halloween. I loved them.

(1,400 posts)My mother loved it. I'm sure she took every pack of candy corn I got. With my blessing!
I'd bring my Halloween candy home and dump it out and my mother would go through it, throwing out anything that wasn't wrapped and gum (I wasn't allowed to chew gum). Then I'd go back out to hit the next streets. This was baby boomer generation; EVERY house had their porch light on because they all had kids and we made out like bandits!

How do you feel about black licorice? In my family the coconut people hate black licorice and the black licorice people hate coconut.

(71,003 posts)I didn't like the consistency or texture, and it didn't taste good; which is a standard one would think a candy should meet before it gets marketed.
