Halloween treats
 

What do you usually give away in your neighbourhood?

It's not as easy as when I was a kid, going trick or treating. Back then people actually made candy to give away. Now everything has to be sealed for your protection etc...

There are still some around my parts that give away home-made candy apples though. But we know these people so there are no suspicions.

I usually just get a big bowl of mini chocolate bars and chip bags.

That hard-as-hell-break-your-teeth PAL brand bubble gum. :)

No really we give away usually an assortment of mini-candy bars and shit like that. Dum Dum pops too cause I love the rootbeer and butterscotch ones. :yowsa

Re: Halloween treats
 

Same... but also take $1,$5 bills and one $20 bill, wrap them in papertowels and make little ghost figures and have the kids pick one.

Nice suprise for the kid who gets the $20 ;)

Re: Halloween treats
 

You should also include a little piece of paper in one of them that says, "You'll be dead by morning..."

That kid will be REAL surprised!!!

Just kidding, fucking with kids on Halloween is fucked up. It'd be kind of funny in a twisted sort of way though lol...

Re: Halloween treats
 

The last few years that I lived in a subdivision, we used to give away the standard candy, but we would only get maybe 50 kids. Now that I'm rural, we don't get any kids at all.

strong black coffee if they knock on my door ;)

Re: Halloween treats
 

Hey that's a good idea. But only if you have local kids (that you know from the neighbourhood). Where I used to live, the kids would all arrive from other places in mini-vans because our neighbourhood was better or something.

I do remember an elderly lady in my old town giving away nothing but dimes to kids who came to her door. (circa 1974)

Re: Halloween treats
 

I ALWAYS try and get the gross candy (because I have no will power) but I'll be good this year and get the yummiest candies! :okthumb:

Re: Halloween treats
 

You ARE the yummiest of candy. :cool2:

Re: Halloween treats
 

Do you throw or pour. ;)

Re: Halloween treats
 

I go to my sisters.

She has a house in a heritage area and they go mental over decorating the area and shit. Its an area about 8 blocks square.

They bus in kids it is kinda cool.

We give away the mini candy bars. Last year we had over 600 kids come to the door it is hectic lol

Re: Halloween treats
 

We give away the mini-candy bars and such, but I usually shovel handfuls into their bags. We're a little off the beaten path, so we don't get too many kids.

In college, we cooked up a batch of chocolate-covered Tater Tots and gave them away (look, we were broke, perhaps a touch stoned, it was what we had, and it seemed like a good idea at the time, okay?). I suspect you'd need a bail bondsman if you tried it today.

BTW - about half the kids loved them.

Re: Halloween treats
 

Some people turn off all their lights and pretend they're not home. LOL

Re: Halloween treats
 

I buy all chocolate and the kids love me ; )

Re: Halloween treats
 

The kids don't come to my house, I'm known as "that grumpy man in the corner", I've got no idea why. :unsure:

Re: Halloween treats
 

Hey you used to live in my neighbourhood too.

Re: Halloween treats
 

the mini-candybars for most trick or treaters
this year though, we're also doing popcorn balls and gift bags for the neighborhood kids we already know

Re: Halloween treats
 

Im with grumpy on this one :1zhelp:

Re: Halloween treats
 

I give away those tiny bottles stolen from hotel mini bars (other people's rooms) from all the conventions gone to over the years. ;)

Re: Halloween treats
 

I've got an extremely large and mostly grumpy family, so the chances are good. :)

Re: Halloween treats
 

Depends on the numbers

Re: Halloween treats
 

I'm in for a treat tomorrow, my son is attending his first toddlers Halloween party as Dracula :hot:

Re: Halloween treats
 

Excellent he will love it :okthumb:

Re: Halloween treats
 

I will post a pic of my evil little one :)

Re: Halloween treats
 

As long as you're not talking about Trev, cool! http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/wwww.gif

Re: Halloween treats
 

I still can't get my head round it though...

So....You get to go to places and demand they give you stuff or very bad things will happen??

North America is such a nice place.

Some friends of mine in England used to do that.(alledgedly)
They insisted bars only used certain space invader type games etc etc...The Police didn't see it as just a harmless celebration though , in fact they called it "extortion" "demanding money with menaces" and "racketeering"

I suppose they should have used the "trick or treat" defence and said they got the dates wrong or just wanted to celebrate more frequently.

;-))))

Re: Halloween treats
 

Eh, it's all a ripoff from an Irish-Celtic holy day anyhow.

Re: Halloween treats
 

but Halloween is also a day when women can dress really slutty and call it a costume and no one thinks they are strippers or hookers ;-)

nothing like going to down the aisle at Party City and watching the college hotties buy skimpy costumes and say things like "so, how slutty does this make me look?"

Re: Halloween treats
 

Here's my little Dancula, only got half way through painting his face when he decided he wasn't having it. :mad:

fucking mufc :(

Re: Halloween treats
 

We always buy the really good candy... and then never get any trick or treaters. :(

But that leaves more candy for us so it's not that bad! :okthumb:

Re: Halloween treats
 

Sure is!

Who's the father though? :blink:

Re: Halloween treats
 

Ah...memories.... :)

I have to go back 17 years for the memories, though. :( We live on a private drive up a steep hill off of a very curving, dangerous street. We don't get Trick-or-Treaters. We always buy candy, though, just in case. I swear, the kid that finally makes it to my door after all these years is going to hit the "mini-candy bar motherlode." :)

As usual, though, the day will be very much celebrated at my house. :)

Re: Halloween treats
 

Oh, and by the way...Toni and Trev? That is one impossibly cute little boy!!!! Well done!!!! :clapping:

Re: Halloween treats
 

No need to worry this year mate, now that you've been rumbled as a wannabe Yorkshire Ripper they'll be too scared to come near your house.

(Just glad it wasn't you posting out the Oprano gear, I'd be shitting it now if you had my address :yowsa: )

Re: Halloween treats
 

I usually give out mini candy bars.

Halloween was always my favorite holiday as a kid. I grew up in upper middle class suburbia and we made out like bandits. I hate the fact that candy has to be x-rayed these days. We just had to make sure everything was wrapped.

When I was in college and had halloween parties and ran out of candy I was always sent out around the neighborhood to trick or treat so we'd have more to give out. Being so short, no one ever suspected how old I was. :)

Re: Halloween treats
 

I do mate, even the ripper wouldn't head in to them parts :unsure:

Re: Halloween treats
 

I want him...Can I keep him....Please! :)

He so cute! :) :)

Re: Halloween treats
 

haha... oh that's great! He looks a lot like Eddie Munster! :okthumb:
