Doing a secret Santa thing for underprivileged kids and one kid asked for "WWE". Apparently you can't effing google who the current WWE champions are and get the kid the action figures for them. That would be way too easy.
Budget of $50 -- what to get the little guy?

[laughing] Sweet Jesus - why did that make me laugh like a man who desperately needs lithium?
“TELL US ABOUT THE WAR “ was a slice of grade A chuckle too
Look here it is -
Bit-O-Honey may have been THE most difficult candy to safely consume since the original “Space Rocks”.,,...but once you got past that plasticine hardened outer-coating....there was a SOLID fifteen (touch and go) minutes of sweet honey heaven flavored BLISS in your worn out little yap - three were about all i could handle though - jaws always got tired
(NOT for people with dental work , weak mandibles or narrow esophagus)
Black Sabbath hoodie and a bag of Bit-O-Honey

I didn’t see this before posting my BOH praise
That salt water taffy from Cracker Barrell was always good too

Gifts are due by November 11 (I have no idea why). He may just get a Ric Flair robe and learn to love it.

I’d definitely throw in a championship belt.
Probably throw in a couple random wrestlers and a ring.
No clue if that exceeds the budget or not.

None that I WILL NOT but 2 that I don't care for, peas and brusselsI’d go 4 here.
Throw in a fruitcake for good measure.
I will gladly eat all of those things and find none of them to be strange or exotic in any way. I don’t go out of my way to eat canned tuna or onions but if that’s all there is to eat I’m not really hesitant.
Rick Flair robe would be dope

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to comment on Chad's weak mandible. Couldn't handle salt water taffy much less ******* bit o honey. Very feminine. Comparable to Bonzo's calves, if we're being honest.

Your house is in peril if you dare drop this ******** in the ol’ Trick or Treat bag.
[looks up mandible]...
....so like those pipe cleaners you call arms.
Any time you want to ride around with me on leg day, feel free, Lance.

I could eat NECCO wafers until I throw up. They were my number one road trip candy as a kid and now I always go for them to after I top off the tank for a road trip.
The worst candy I’ve had (that somebody actually was eating for enjoyment - not a challenge) is a favorite of my dad’s: Horehounds.

You are a ghoul.
Have y’all ever noticed that the snack size “Halloween” Twizzlers are a completely different and superior product to their plastic tasting regular size brethren?
What about the fact Krackel ONLY comes in bite size? Like Hersheys was too afraid to battle Nestle straight up?
I almost never eat candy, and am quite husky now. Skinny as a rail as a candy fueled kid...maybe I’m doing it wrong.
Love malted milk balls as a kid, don’t get the hate. WTF Joey, Necco wafers?!?!
Feel bad for kids this year, Halloween was such big deal. That haul of candy would last months. And then as a young adult, basically a glorified theme party encouraging the hot women to dress super slutty...2020.
Willy going to the Ohio State party at KSbar?
Chad and the gentle mandibles...lolz.

Out here in Bullitt County the general consensus is F Andy we are doing Halloween regardless.
OTOH, we are now in the red zone with 30% positives(or whatever the number is) so cancel school, can’t take that chance.
It’s where we are here folks.

The ******** country I’m from had some of the most foul “treats” you can imagine, with pistachios a large part of the “fancy” ones. One of the big ones was basically pure sugar broken up into shards that looked like crack rocks. Rock candy is the closest thing I’ve had to it here, but it was so poorly made that it was in random clear plastic bags and usually had a weird yellow tint to it. Tasted like **** but it was pure sugar so whatever. Well long story short we flew back to America one time in the late 80s and my mom had a big bag of it in our luggage and the airport security guys must’ve legit thought it was crack because they stopped us and took my father to a back interrogation room for about an hour and he came back looking white as a ghost. Turns out the poor guy had been “searched” as well as interrogated.
After that we pretty much just had Snickers so overall a win win for everyone.

And Bullitt County is known for its deliberative prowess on civic matters.
Pistachios are dope.
But not as dope as Snickers Peanut Butter Squares mamma mia!

Oh yeah, like the difference between flat Diet Coke out of a can and fresh from McDonald’s.
Coffee Crisp is a candy bar I’d like to see get some run in the States.
Kevin Cash can eat ****. What a horseshit decision pulling Snell after 73 pitches.
And Dodgers now lead 2-1. GFY Tampa
If your analytics says to put in the guy who's given up a run in 7 straight appearances now, I'd have probably went with a different plan.

Storck Chocolate Riesens... I think they changed the recipe to soften them up, but back in the day they were so sticky that when you bit into them it was like they formed a mold around your teeth and when you tried to open your mouth you almost ripped a molar out. Still loved them though.
During Dahl’s childhood, the two largest British candy firms, Cadbury and Rowntree, sent so many moles to work in competitors’ factories that their spying became legendary.
The real-life espionage became so pervasive that candy makers in Europe—where virtually all of the important industry innovations were taking place—began routinely employing detectives to keep track of workers.
For example, when Nestlé first figured out how to successfully blend milk and chocolate, only a handful of Nestlé executives knew how the complete milk chocolate-making process worked. The company also conducted employee background checks and put “suspicious” workers under surveillance. And Mars blindfolds outside contractors when it’s necessary to escort them through its factories.
By age 7, Dahl recalls, his childhood sweetshop in Llandaff, South Wales, was the center of his universe. His favorite pastime? Standing in front of the shop’s picture window, enchanted by the mounds of goodies piled high on display. The store carried the only kind of sweets available at the time: unbranded, handmade penny candies like lemon drops and peppermint twists manufactured on a small scale. Dahl’s personal favorite was the sherbet sucker wrapped in licorice:
“… You sucked the sherbet [powder] up through the straw and when it was finished you ate the licorice. … The sherbet fizzed in your mouth, and if you knew how to do it, you could make white froth come out of your nostrils …”
