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.

But for the purposes of this thread, take one single Fun Dip and compare it to Nerds (which was my entry).

I do agree that Fun Dip is a solid submission though, because not only do you get the powdery part (I haven't had FD in forever, but I seem to remember they used to fill it up pretty well), but you also get to eat the dipping stick thing as well.

I'm talking about the candy, and not people FYI. Just in case there was some confusion.

Only unsophisticated pallets enjoy nerds. It’s a low brow candy.
