What kind of crap are you handing out?

I'm doing the same thing I do every year -- take a bag of apples, make a slice in the skin of each one with a knife, then hand them out. My way of saying "thanks" to the neighbors.

What are you handing out?

I'm done already. Ran out of candy the first hour. Of course they started at 5:30 instead of 6:00, which was the time they were supposed to start. Not that I care. I didn't wanna be standing there for 2 hours anyway.

Just the usual assortment of crap. And, of course, I had to eat a Baby Ruth and a Kit Kat.

LOL, as they say -- I have a friend who always buys "Halloween candy" in August. Yeah, right!

What's worse is seeing Christmas shit in the stores sitting right beside the Halloween displays.



I don't wanna fucking think about Christmas yet.

We live in the country - too spread out for kids to walk up to the door. We have a scheduled hayride and at the scheduled time hand out lunchbags full of treats to the 20 or so kids that come around. Cracker Jacks, pringled, dum-dums, glow sticks, I don't remember what else because my husband did the shopping this year.

Cheers!

Stale candy corns left over from 1997.

This is my first year here, and I bought a big bag of skittles. But has of 6:45p a kid has yet to show up!! Bummer, I guess the daughter and I have to eat them.

Let’s see…

Some chicken bones, rice, a few pieces of biscuit, and some kibble, but they’ll have to fight the barn cats for it.

You didn't finish your kibble?

Here's my question: are there any documented cases of razor blades inside of apples? How many? When did this happen? My parents threw out all fresh fruit and homemade goodies like popcorn balls and Rice Krispie treats, and scrutinized the wrapped candy for rips and tears as if they were condoms (and yet they let us go out after dark alone to get them), and I wonder how much of the razor-blade-apple issue was hype and how much actually happened.

But back to topic... We didn't get very many kids this year, fewer than twenty kids in five or six groups. We've plenty of Snickers and Almond Joy and Hershey's Miniatures to last us for the next month (though it will be gone by this time next week, mark my words).

But it was really cold out (for us, anyway), so I guess the kiddies got discouraged... those as actually trick-or-treat any more, which is a dwindling number. Which was too bad, because my jack o'lantern was adorable and hardly anybody got to see it!

Mini chocolate bars crap. We still have three bags left. I'm afraid we overstocked a little.
