All I can say is my kids were given an inordinate amount of pixie sticks at houses with McCain signs

1. LOL! They're gross. Trying to get them into snorting cocaine at an early age?

2. I just can't put my finger on it.

Pixie sticks are such an odd candy.

3. they are cheap..

and you can buy them in bulk. Kids love them. They do not eat them like they are cocaine. That is what I am handing out this year.....without messages. It is all I can afford.

4. They're eating them all right and thank you for having something to hand out.

There are few things worse on Halloween than watching kids knock on a door of a house with the lights on and no one answers.

Still, they didn't get many pixie sticks from houses with Obama/Biden signs.

7. My parents never let me have pixie sticks. Which is strange, now that I think about it,

since there were no other such restrictions. It was just pixie sticks. I have no clue why.

11. LOL! We're giving out the good stuff.. Reeses, Milky Way, Butterfinger. the good stuff.

We liberals LOVE to spread that chocolate around!!!

12. Pixie Sticks are fun candy. It really isn't about the content, it's about

the paper straw, whether to clip the end or unwind the paper if you get it damp and clogged up. Yep, PS are all about the process of eating that candy.

13. I always liked pixie sticks.

:-) Also, those little marshmallow fake ice cream cones, and flying saucers with candy beads inside. I love chocolate too, but I think it's fun to get a variety.
