What did you buy to hand out for Halloween?

I'm going to pick up the goodies tomorrow and trying to decide what to get. I probably won't get my favorites, Reese's peanut butter cups because of the possibility of nut allergies. Thinking about hitting BJ's and getting full size bars of either Milky Way or Three Musketeers, but I've also gotten the fruit snack things also in the past. Any advice?

1. Screw the cheap crap candy, I buy the candy that I like

Because I get the leftovers.

No surprise that a primitive would buy for themselves, rather than the little kiddies visiting them.

2. i think mini candy bars and fruit snacks would be a good idea

stick them all in a bowl and let the kids pick out what they like. i've had one trick or treater nine years and i felt really bad for that kid because we couldn't very well give them a beer or a bud.

Oh, brother.  Can you imagine sending your child to fizzgig's apartment, what with the stench of her feet, rotting food containers strewn about, and the general piggishness of the whole place?  Since she's only had one visitor, it looks like word has gotten out about her hygiene habits.

4. Cigarette lighters and firecrackers, same as last year.

the neighbors LOVE me!

DUmbass Skippy trying to be clever again.  Skippy reminds me of those guys you see in their late forties who dress like teenagers, in an attempt to stay "hip" and relevant.

9. When my brothers kids were little and

I was still childless I gave them Snickers with a 6" nail pierced through them. The kids were baffled and my brother thought I was an idiot.

(Edit to add: it might be helpful to the kids to give them some punks in addition to the lighter.)

6. I'm not getting anything

We'll be taking our daughter trick or treating in her bff's neighborhood on the 31st.

The dads will be drinking beers and pulling the kids in little red wagons while the moms walk ahead and give disapproving looks. Jacksonville Beach does it up right. Last year there were three haunted houses on the route and a dozen parties or so. There is no vehicle traffic and a ton of Halloweeners running around like little ghouls. Kids make the holidays so fun.

This primitive doesn't trick-or-treat in their own neighborhood.  Section 8 housing must be slim pickings.

7. I got Airheads.

Mostly because I hate them and thus they are friendly to my desire to obtain and maintain a healthy weight. Oddly, they seem popular...I get them most years and they're always a hit. I have no idea why...they're godawful.

So says the Chan790 primitive, who so far doesn't appear to have ever started working again since being shitcanned on August 16, 2011.

10. Sams Club has a plastic barrel of little bags of Utz pretzels

We combine those with bags of Goldfish. It's gone over pretty well for the past couple of years. Here's the theory: we used to buy candy; then after 10/31, we'd eat the leftover candy. It got the holiday weight gain off to a flying start.

Pretzels and goldfish?  Enjoy your bag of flaming shit on your porch next week, and the toilet paper hanging in your trees.  Note the emphasis that "It's gone over pretty well", which I take as an admission that "This is a shitty idea, but I'm going to do it anyways, because I know what's best for your kid".

13. kit kats, Reese's pb cups and ????

Some years we get lots of kids. I haven't actually bought any yet- I would just eat them and have to buy more. I have zero willpower.

A primitive with zero willpower?

The kids won't get any. By 6:00 o'clock, fizz will have her face in the bowl, going after those treats like Rosie O'Donnell going down on a chocolate pooter.

Left a bowl of candy out last year.  The little bastards took the entire thing.

I wouldn't have minded if they had at least brought the bowl back.  It showed up two days later.

Why do both parents go with the kids, leaving no one home to hand out candy? WTF? Are they that cheap?

Pisses me off that only a couple of other houses on our street have their porch lights on for Halloween.

Dad: "Whoa, son. Before you eat that Halloween candy I have to check it for razor blades."

Dad: "Darn! There's a razor in every piece!"

Kid: "Oh, no! Not again!"

Dad: "Yeah, better luck next year."

I always assumed there were two types of treats that the DUmmies handed out on Halloween.

The "intellectual" social science majors who hand out toothbrushes and Free Trade cocoa tracts to the kiddies, and end up with soap and eggs on their windows, and tp in the trees.

The druggie dummies, who mistakenly hand drugs to the kiddies, or who run in a hallucinatory horror from the costumes believing it to be the end of the world.

Okay 3, some of the addled dummies who hand out peppermint or butterscotch candy and the kids run in horror from the smell of cat pee, patchouli oil and DUmmie stench

My daughter and son in law moved into an old neighborhood, nice houses but most of the neighbors were up in years--- no kids.  So when they took the grand kids around, the neighbors didn't know what to do, one said they would see what they could find.   

They are going to come to our neighborhood this year. :lmao:

Kids of democrats get raw carrots and turnips per Moochelle.....kids of republicans get the best killer candies.

Actual, got candy but doubt any kids will come by...one of the advantages of living out in the country...you buy candy and get to eat it all.

I was expecting the DUmmies to hand out kale chips.

One year, a DUmmie announced she would be handing out pencils, one per child.  I'd have loved to see her house the next morning. 

We had 300, same as every year, and our treats are the best.

We had about 45 to 50.  The Heiress emptied the gallon-sized bowl on the kids, though.  Handfuls and handfuls to the kids.  We had some decent treats; The Heiress must have thought that 'quantity' was a lot better.

Here in red state hell, there were maybe a half dozen trick-or-treaters instead of the usual 30 or so.

When it's cold and windy, kids here know it's a lot easier to get candy at Publix.
