Lori, why do you ask what is wrong with coconut? I LOVE it! Nothing is wrong with it unless you are allergic to it lol...My ex was allergic to it and he dated a girl one time who ate something with it in it and then she didnt know him being allergic to it they had kissed and well needless to say things werent good. Apparentely he is HIGHLY allergic lol...Sucks to be him though cause coconut is GOOD!

Hi, Heather.

It seems from the posts that most people won't even eat a Mounds bar and that's covered over with chocolate. I am getting the impression (and I don't do impressons) that lots of people here are not coconut nuts...

So.... Cuckoo for Coconut huh!! Better you than me. As in the words of Jerry Seinfield, "Not that there is anything wrong with that". Just didn't tickle the old taste buds. My mother used to buy them because it was the only thing us kids wouldn't find and eat on her. The M&M mars plant where they filmed that apprentice episode is literally 5 minutes from my house. Pure milk chocolate, no nuts but candy shell is welcome (ie M&M's) Every Easter the company sponsors a hunt for the kids. Lots of free candy. I think the Trump mishaps found their way to the hunt though.

Jim, wasn't that Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs??? And LOL about why your mom used to buy the Mounds bars. Personally, I think Baby Ruths are the best. Now, if I bought those, I'd have gained back all the weight I've lost, so those are no longer welcome in my house.

So I took a little poetic license here. I don't even think my mom like the mounds bar. Baby Ruths are very good too. The only problem with them with me anyway was that they took on a whole new meaning after Caddy Shack. I still like to eat them anyway.

The 100 grand bars are very good too.

That was hysterical, with Bill Murray acting like a total whack job. I loved Rodney Dangerfield (saw him live a couple of times) and Ted Knight. Wasn't that his name? When he got all frustrated and tossed his golf club and it went flying and hit some woman on the patio of the clubhouse and knocked her out? Great movie. Although I always prefered Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Vacation.

Lori, I have always been a Rodney fan. When I went to Hawaii with my then boyfriend (I hate that word at my age!) we were on the beach at an outdoor bar and Rodney came strolling over. I was so star struck and my friend said "go over and talk to him, ask him for an autograph." I didn't want to bother him, but the need to talk to him prevailed. Long story short we ended up having drinks with him for 3 hours! We had our own private Rodney Dangerfield show. The man was a riot. One of my best moments in Hawaii.

Bonnie,

I am so envious!!! That was a gift. I was so sorry when he passed on this year. I think we all will suffer comedically since he was so unique and so funny. No matter what he was in, whether it was a movie or standup or whatever, he always had the ability to make us laugh. What was his doctor's name, Dr. Vinnie Goombatz?

Rodney was a great and funny man. I quote his " I get no Respect" and pull at my shirt all the time. I thought he was very funny in the back to school movie. His comedic talents will be missed but thankfully there is soo much caught on tape. Bonnie, that was a "Moment of a lifetime" thing to always treasure. To quote Lori, I am soooo Jealous tooo.

We are very careful about what we do when young ones are around. Actually under 8 is very hard to scare generally; they aren't sure what is real and what isn't ("magic" is real to them) so they tend to accept anything and often don't know if it is scary or just weird.

The very best victims are from 13 on up, often including the parents! The teens think they're too cool to be scared, and I just can't explain the parents at all.

But I crack up every time a Mom runs away screaming .
