Pretty much anything homemade. I'm just too [censored] paranoid and I'm not eating some [censored] that you might have laced with drugs and or razors. I know that when/if I'm a parent, this would freak me the [censored] out.

I [censored] you not but one year there was a woman running for Congress in our neighborhood. She gave out campaign buttons. Campaign Buttons! Can you believe that [censored]!

A few years later her daughter would let me feel her boobs while riding the bus home from school though so I guess it's even.

One of the saddest sign of the times is the fact that we all need to purchase individually wrapped gumballs or 0.002 ounce Snickers bites because of a few sick fuckers who do crap like this. I'm not disagreeing with you Dids, I'll probably worry as well once I have kids that are out trick or treating. It's just sad, that's all.

I've never seen any of those candies sold in any context other than halloween, I think it's because no one would buy it for themselves.

Disagree completely with smarties.

One dude in my friend's neighborhood gave out brussel sprouts. I didn't get it, but for some reason lots of kids were always really eager to go to that house. They were even disappointed one year when he actually gave out candy.

I like most candy but some houses always give out stuff that appeal to only a small unique group of people.

e.g- Reese's PB cup
Snickers
Hershey chocolate bar
M&M's
Butter Finger
Gummy bears
Sour Patch kids
caramel apple pops

I for one like houses that give out fruit that's fresh and easy to eat, who doesn't like a green apple? Black licorice has a nice smell to it, no other candy is like it. I don't like pennies but nickels are cool if you save them up ( for fresh fruit!). Wax stuff is cool, especially the fruit juice filled wax. When you're done drinking your treat you can tell your friends you were a glutton and drank 20 bottles of juice! (but you didn't, they were small sized wax bottles).

That reminds of the funnest game I used to play with my family. We'd leave the door locked and the lights off so when people come to get candy we'd act like no one was home.

All the while I would be looking at them through the peep hole in the door. As soon as they started leaving I would then jiggle the door knob, as if I was about to open the door offering a bounty of candy. So then they'd run back grinning, only to be greeted by the same unresponsive door. This would be repeated like 3 or 4 times. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

The worst were the black or orange wrapped chewy candies. Tasted like a mix between wax and butterscotch, not pleasant. We called these Mung.

This happened when I was a kid too... now that I think about it, I never got to eat pixie stix. Of course, I hated them anyways, always wet-lipped it, and could never get all the candy out.

Can't believe no one said peanuts! We always used to wind up with several handfulls of peanuts that inevitably became squirel food.

I always hated "Eat Mores"!

A lot of kids never liked "Halloween Kisses" (aka "molasses kisses", chewy orange wrapped toffeesque candy) but I always did.

Those are my least favorite as well. Some lady in my office bought a package of them and put them in her candy dish last week. She told me how good they were and was upset when I refused to have one.

Not to hi-jack, but my mom started giving out little bags of Dorritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, etc. a couple years ago. She says the kids love them because it's something different. I tried to tell her I would not have been happy getting the same bag of chips that's in my lunch everyday. Is this a bad Halloween treat?

"D" pile. Those notorious wrapped in orange halloween themed paper caramels that can only be fed to the dog for amusement as he smacks his chops for half an hour. Untouchable loose unwrapped candy thrown in by the neighbourhood immigrants who don't get it. Fruit.

i dunno, but all i saw in the buckets of kids that came here were the mini candy bars. which is what i was handing out too.

when i was a kid, the candy bars were cool because they're good and not many people handed them out. now it's like that is ALL people hand out! no variety ! it's just not halloween if you don't get any smarties...

although i had some lollies in my candy bowl too, most kids went for those ... over reeses, kit kats, milky way, baby ruth, heath bars, rollos, ..
i gave almond joy to the bratty kids that didn't even say 'trick or treat' or anything, and just held out their bags waiting for candy.

also, some groups of kids would just stand outside of the door , i could hear them outside talking , and they never rang the door bell or knocked. so i didn't open it. then i saw them walk to the next house. wtf ? there were at least 5 groups that did this and missed out on candy. what's weird is there were parents with, why don't the parents say "knock on the door if you want them to give you candy"

weirdos.

i had lots of compliments on my carved pumpkins though.
well mostly cuz one was napoleon dynamite. but it was cooOool.

They did some thing on the radio last night about weirdest halloween treats. Some guy was giving out candy & condoms. Another guy said a herpetologist in his neighborhood was giving out snakes to every kid.

11-01-2005, 11:38 AM

The worst things when I was a kid were those horrible orange circus peanuts. And remember those Mary Jane things made out of molasses and shards of peanuts? Oh yeah, and popcorn balls. Bleah.

This year, my kids got candy that was rewrapped in little Bible scriptures. WTF? If I had seen who was giving them out, I would have done donuts in their lawn with my car.
