Esquire Magazine recently published the list of Candy that You Shouldn’t Give Out to Children.  According to them, these candies stink!

1.)  Candy Corn-  Because it has the, quote, “consistency of a car tire.”

2.)  Bit-O-Honey-  “Esquire” says if you give out Bazooka bubble gum, Necco wafers, or Bit-O-Honey’s on Halloween, the kids who come to your door will be aged by “several decades.”

3.)  Twizzlers-  Because they’re not as good as Redvines

4.)  Starbursts-  Because according to “Esquire”, they have a “weird aftertaste” if you eat more than three.

5.)  Now and Laters-  Because they have to sit in the sun for a few hours before they’re soft enough to eat.

6.)  Smarties-  Because it’s just sugar pressed into a tablet, and according to “Esquire”, it shouldn’t qualify as candy.

7.)  Three Musketeers-  This is probably the most popular Halloween candy “Esquire” says you SHOULDN’T give out. Their reasoning is… “there’s just way too much nougat.”

8.)  Anything that isn’t candy-  “Esquire” says if you’re planning to give out carrot sticks, pennies, or apples without caramel . . . just leave your porch light off.

For some parents, the thoughts of the kids running from house to house is enough to give one a heart attack.  Thanks to modern technology, your fears can be put at ease.

Iconosys, Inc. unveiled their app, TrickorTracker, for free, but only through Halloween. The trial period ends Nov. 2.

HOW IT WORKS

Install the app on your phone and your child’s phone.  Using the app, both you and your child can locate each other using a GPS powered map.  The app also allows parents to receive messages revealing where their children are on an hourly basis.
