#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Now we're near Halloween. How many of these candies have you tried?

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging a few. ALL are more than welcome to play! 👻🎃💀

Survey: https://www.listchallenges.com/100-halloween-candies

Karisa 90 😅 I guess I like candy a bit too much. 🍫🍭🍬 Favorites on here for me are Whoppers, Lindt Truffles, and Twix Yum! One I would love to try someday is a licorice pipe after reading about them in the Gamache/Three Pines books. I‘m surprised that Good and Plenty wasn‘t there (another fav of mine). 4d
dabbe Ooh, how could they have left off Good and Plenty? Now I want those! Thanks for sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 4d
JenlovesJT47 Well that‘s the best I‘ve ever done on one of these things! 😆 I got 96. 4d

AnnCrystal 🥳👍🏼 Thanks for the tag 😋🍫💝. 4d
Bookwomble 22 - I don't have a particularly sweet tooth, and (not unreasonable) a lot of that confectionery is North American and not really available in Britain. I only got 22 because of a New York visit many years ago when I tried a few sweets I've seen on TV shows 😊 4d
Sparklemn I got 91. I‘m proud and disgusted in equal measure. Faves are Nerds, Skittles, and Tootsie pops. 🤓 Least faves are circus peanuts, all licorice, and candy cigarettes. 🚬 4d
Dilara I ticked the brands that are sold in Europe/UK or things that looked similar to sweets I know. I hesitated on Milky Way: we have a product with this name, but the packaging looks completely different... Anyway, I got 28%, which is lower than most of you, unsurprisingly 😄
ETA: my favourite from the list is m&ms peanuts (how I love them 😻). Everything else I like I can take or leave. I hate Cadbury's creme eggs.
(edited) 4d
thebacklistbook 62/100....how am I still alive after all that sugar! Some of these I've never heard of. 4d
Blueberry 70 of 100. All the chocolates are my favorite. Especially Cadbury Easter Eggs and Hershey's Dark Chocolate. 🍫 4d
LiseWorks 66 out of 100, I'm not a candy person but I've tried a lot, and some here have brought back childhood memories. I will always go for those Worthers and tootsie rolls 😋 4d
TheAromaofBooks Finally a list I can pass! 😂 94/100! But if I only checked off the ones I actually LIKE instead of the ones I've TRIED my score wouldn't be quite so good haha 3d
MaGoose 64 out of 100. I don't eat much candy anymore, but a lot of those on the list brought back memories. 🤔😋 3d
eeclayton I got 16, I had actually expected a worse score coming from a non-trick-or-treater country 😁 3d
Librarybelle 66/100 for me! I love Pretzel M&M‘s, and of course I have to be loyal to Hershey products since I live not too far from the town (though lots of the manufacturing has moved to Mexico, so the town doesn‘t always smell like chocolate anymore). I‘m also rather partial to Lindt Lindor candies. 😂 3d
Amor4Libros 79! Faves: Sour Patch Kids, Blow Pop and Peanut M&M‘s 3d
ElizaMarie 88% ooo you reminded me of the Runts I used to love them! 3d
Mollyanna 91/100. Some nostalgic ones on here… runts, razzles, warheads. My score would be much lower if I only checked those I like now such as…special dark, twizzlers (although I really prefer Australian licorice), Twix. 3d
Jari-chan 26/100 - many of those are not available in Switzerland. Now I'm hungry... 3d
Cuilin 42/100 the cigarette candy was such a throwback to the 70‘s 😆 Is it still a thing? My favourites are Milka, Toblerone and Twix. 3d
Cuilin @Dilara the American Milky Way has a caramel and nougat center something similar to a Mars bar, the UK/ROI one is a softer lighter nougat more like an Americsn Musketeers candy bar. The Whoppers are Malteeezers. (edited) 3d
Dilara @Cuilin Thanks! In that case, I should remove Milky Way and add Whoppers/Maltesers, which means my score is unchanged 😁 3d
ravenlee I got 77/100 which makes me sound like a sugar addict, but so many of them I tried once or twice as a kid/adolescent. I mean, I love a good mini candy bar, don‘t get me wrong, but have definitely lost my taste for things like Warheads 😆 3d
Bookwormjillk I got 91% 😂 Favorites are whatever someone has left in the break room candy bowl at the moment- currently Heath Bars. 3d
melissajayne 36; I haven‘t seen a lot of these in Canada. Could I be tagged? And when are we going to do books again? 3d
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Bookwomble Of course NA would have all the confection, right? Though Britain has some pretty spectacular sweets, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Sparklemn Ugh to your ugh choices, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Dilara Totally agree with you on peanut M&Ms (they were my dad's favorite), and UGH to Cadbury's creme eggs. Just no. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @thebacklistbook Sugar, sugar everywhere! IKR? Some of them I was like, these have to have been made recently! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Blueberry We always treasured the chocolate bars when we'd trick or treat. The grosser stuff we'd get to usually by November! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @LiseWorks I adore tootsie rolls, even though my expensive dental work doesn't! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Same here! Trying doesn't mean liking, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @MaGoose And a lot of my memories were along the lines of, “How could I have ever eaten that?“ 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @eeclayton And you know all of this candy is all about Halloween. I was actually surprised that the person who created the list actually found 100 different kinds! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Librarybelle I have never tried the Pretzel M&M's; I bet they are yummy! Salt and sugar = perfect combo! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Amor4Libros I'm impressed you like the Sour Patch Kids; my face puckered up too much with those! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @ElizaMarie Yay for the memories! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Mollyanna IKR? So many are just way too sugary for us adults who've moved from milk to dark chocolate! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Jari-chan Leave it to the USA to have this much sugar. No wonder we're crazy! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Cuilin I wonder! To think that we would PLAY at SMOKING! And it was cool! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Dilara I say keep both and bump up your score! 😂 3d
dabbe @ravenlee Amen, sista! All that super sugary stuff today? #noway! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Ooh, I love Heath Bars!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @melissajayne Of course, I'll tag you! And what kind of book surveys do you like? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
Amiable 86 for me. There are several that I haven‘t eaten because I know I don‘t like the flavor (i.e. I‘m not a fan of lemon, etc). I do love me a Snickers bar! And I‘m still addicted to gummy bears even though I‘m old enough to know better because they are terrible for your teeth. 😬😀 3d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads 65 for me. I beat the average on one challenge at least for a change. I cannot keep enough Starburst for my granddaughters. 😂 I know they kinda came from me but I can‘t figure out how they cannot like chocolate. (edited) 3d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I still have my candy stash beside my bed. 3d
Sparklemn @Cuilin Milka was the only candy I didn‘t recognize. I love Toblerone, too. 3d
dabbe @Amiable My teeth tremble at the sight of one gummy bear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I bet they will as they get older. I did the same thing! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 3d
Dilara @dabbe Thank you for tagging me!
I was wondering... are Cadbury's creme eggs a normal thing for Halloween? I thought they were only ever sold around Easter time.
3d
nanuska_153 I only got 27, but not because of my lack of love for sugar. Most of those don't exist in Ireland. Probably would have got 100% if it was sweets from here 😅 2d
dabbe @Dilara YW! They have spooky Halloween eggs, too. Guess they'd be crazy not to cash in at Halloween, too, right? 😂😍😂 2d
dabbe @nanuska_153 Yeah, it was definitely based on America's tastes. Sorry about that! What's your most popular candy in Ireland? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2d

This novella is a heartache that reads like a fever dream. The ghosts are haunting. (Pun intended.)

Cathythoughts Stacking 👍🏻❤️ 2mo
Tamra @Cathythoughts it reminds me a bit of the Calculation of Volume series in that the MC cannot move on/forward. 2mo

This book will wrap you in a warm hug and you won‘t want to let go! Christmas in Norway sounds idyllic and it was fun reading about the Norwegian traditions, some of which I grew up with!

Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂

I have yet to finish his Septology series , my reading brain is finding it hard to finish anything so took in this slim volume. I liked it the first grouping is very much like what stands out in a child‘s memory. A middle section about a dog is fantastical tw below. The 3rd segment about a boy & girl 4 & 3 how they get in trouble, much from the point of view of the 4 year old brother. Powerful descriptions.

It's Fine By Me: A Novel | Per Petterson
Panpan

the only reason it's not zero stars is because the ending redeemed itself, but istg the mmc is just the combination of down-bad and daddy issues. (the funniest thing is, post ib exams, i hated this book but i used it for every paper 2 we did)
