Gotta be Nerds, right? Those little boxes are filled to about 80% capacity and chock-full of nerds.

Assuming each "piece" of candy costs roughly the same amount, what is the best value for the amount of candy you actually get?





ETA: For example, comparing Nerds to Milk Duds...those little MD boxes have about four duds per box. Not bad, but not as much "value" IMO as a Nerds box.

Go to Walmart this morning and buy all the candy you want at 50% off. Best bang for your buck.

You can get a 48 count pack of Fun Dip from Amazon for $12.99. Kids love them and they actually get excited when they see the Fun Dip. It takes a long time to eat a pack and it teaches the kids a work ethic since you have to put in some effort to eat it.

Nerds does provide more cavities per dollar.

Sadly, we no longer participate in H-Ween and keep the front porch light off. Mainly due to the location of my house being near the corner and not much foot traffic.

Always keep snack size Reese's Buttercups and Kit Kats in the fridge.

On an aside, I went to Hooters Saturday (1st time in forever) before the game to get some wings and to see the worker chicks dressed all h-ween slutty. Huge disappointment. Wings are no longer as good as they used to be, and the chicks were meh looking and had a why bother attitude about their h-ween costume.

36 ea. 100 Grand Bars for a total of $33.38

$3,6000,000.00/$33.38 = $0.00000093

Unbeatable value

Candy corn. Just a few pieces and you have enough sugar to last the whole day.

When I discovered Nerds in the mid-80s around the age of 8, it was the greatest candy ever invented. That lasted about a year and I haven't thought about them much since then.

The last thing I recall is that there was a pack that had two different flavors. After the awe of that variation wore off, they faded into Bolivia for me.

Not even close - these are by far the best bang for your buck...

I had a box of nerds then had a box of MD right after the Nerds and had the thought of Nerds win with how much is in their little boxes.

If bang for your buck in this case is how much of the packet it fills up... Then the answer is airheads.
