Re: Best old school cheap candy of all-time?
Thought of another one: Sugar Daddies. Back in the trick-or-treat days, Sugar Daddies were considered very rare and valuable in my neighborhood because they seemed to only exist on Halloween. Even a single Sugar Daddy would often be met with outrageous offers of, say, 5 mini-Butterfingers (widely thought to be the best candy overall), or even actual money. It got to the point where if we found a house handing them out, we would sit there and "pimp" the house for additional Sugar Daddies, exchanging masks etc so the people wouldn't recognize us.
I also remember a related candy called Sugar Babies, but I never really got into them.
EDIT: just looked this shit up on Wikipedia, apparently Sugar Babies were once referred to colloquially as "nigger babies". Thanks a lot, crackers, for tainting yet another childhood memory
