Snickers memories... Ah, Snickers...a timeless American candy. When I was a kid this was my favorite
Halloween candy, yet somehow I always ended up without any. Let me explain:
Each Halloween night my brother and I (the youngest in a family of seven children) would come back from Trick-or-Treating with our eyes
gleaming and our stomachs growling. We would then proceed to dump our candy into individual piles in the middle of the living room floor,
where we would delve into our hoard and sort it into all the different kinds of candy.
Just about this time my older brother would always appear, having gathered a small candy stash of his
own. He would then proceed to throw out trade offers, convincing us that three packs of Smarties was better than a measly Snickers bar.
Being young, we decided three was indeed better than one, so we would make the trade.
After this continued for some time, we would look over our piles again and have nothing left but
small candy while my older brother had a huge pile of Snickers and other such candy bars. It took a few years for us to realize that the
number of candy items wasn't always as important as the type. I have been enjoying Snickers ever since! ~ Suzanne from Arizona
Snickers are the favorite candy bar of my Grandmother and she instilled a love for the candy in her
grandchildren. When she would come to visit us she would bring hordes of candy, but her biggest quantity of one candy was Snickers.
Traditionally in our family they are called "Sweet Dreams" because she would place one bar under each
of us children's pillows at night. When we went up to bed we dove under our pillow and come up with a Snickers that we would eat then and
there in the dark, no matter if we had already brushed our teeth, we had a "sweet dream" of a Snicker! ~ Jessica from Georgia
