Best: full size Snickers bars
Worst: full size Snickers bars but you have peanut allergy
If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”
Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper
Best: kit-kats, twix, heath bar, and the wee dark/light/crunch mix assortment.
Worst: banana laffy taffy, smarties
Also I freaking love black licorice and my kids do too but would never, ever dare hand it out, absolutely a trick not a treat for most kids.
I also love black licorice. Did we just become best friends?
Sir that is nasty
Worst->Best
At least on the scale of what I’m handing out.
Had to scale it back this year only 43 lbs, probably only last about half the night.
Best: King size candy bars
Worst: Those little rock-hard peanut butter taffy things in the black and orange wrappers.
I got eerily angry complaints from parents one Halloween after I gave out cotton candy “because it filled up too much space in their bags for something that would dissolve in their mouth all at once anyways as well as make them hyper as it’s just sugar”. Makes me wonder how they spent their evenings.
Man those parents don’t know shit - you were a Hallowe’en hero
oh man pixie sticks are like summoning a demon
I once gave a single banana to a group of kids and told them to be sure to split it between them.
That was a massive improvement over the year before, where I had nothing at all.
It was extra sad because their parents only allowed them to go through the building they lived in, and it didn’t have many people.
Thing is, halloween isn’t really a thing there, plus I am absolutely terrible with dates.
When I was a kid my father handed out cans of soup.
Your birthdays must have been memorable
My MIL used to work for a dentist. One year he encouraged? required? the employees to hand out toothbrushes on Halloween. My hubby begged his mom not to do it, to just fib and tell her boss she had. But… she went through with it. They got egged that night & their pumpkin was smashed. She fucked around and found out.
Classic
Worst is Necco wafers.
Best is Whoppers, then Sixlets.
Ha, I would take Necco over whoppers and sixlets any day. We should have been friends as kids; best candy trade partner ever.
Best: twix, 100grand, candy corn, sweet tarts
Worst: bottle caps, heath, unnamed hard candies, tootsie rolls
I have a buddy who’s favorite is heath bars
He’s a little different
I blocked out the existence of bottle caps
Worst: raisinettes, circus peanuts, candy corn Best: none of the above
Best: Full size Snickers, Reese’s Halloween editions
Worst: Candy Corn and Circus Peanuts
First thing I thought of when I saw the post, and your comment was the first I saw!
Trick or treating isn’t so much of a thing in Australia, even though the idea of Halloween and dressing up has become more popular.
Anyway, no one has ever done it in our neighbourhood, but just in case I buy a bag of chupa chups in October in case anyone knocks on the door.
Best: Reese’s
Worst: Circus Peanuts
Best: Twix
Worst: peanut butter kisses
I don’t but a close friend does. he would trade away coconut for it
That gave me the idea to toss in a coconut or two into bags this year. I’ll reserve those for the “kids” that are obviously too old for this stuff.
I do full size candy bars, but I’ll also drop a handful of loose candy corn instead into the bag of someone who’s clearly too old.
