What about the five pennies taped together. Kids still love that, right?

Or a nice, refreshing apple.

Just collect condiments from various fast food restaurants throughout the year & pass those out for Halloween.

Switchblade knives are still popular with the kids, though.

How about both? I give trick-or-treaters candy bars (Hershey bar, Milky Way, Kit-Kat, small bags of M & M's, Snickers, etc.) and Halloween decorated pencils (from Dollar Tree).

You can tell this survey is from Seattle because none of those kids listed religious tracts at all...

I had a little girl come to the door with her parents last Halloween. I gave her some candy and in return she gave me Christian literature.

I always wanted Chick Tracts.

Never really had a sweet tooth.

What are you talking about. I love getting penis from couples for Halloween.

Are coupons for pencils ok?
 
2011-10-13 06:37:04 PM
I don't know. I wouldn't mind getting a pencil on Halloween, since I always seem to be running short on them. Also, I don't like candy.
 
2011-10-13 06:42:25 PM
When I was a lad, an old lady offered me candy or a comic book. She'd buy them from rummage sales throughout the year and them offer them on Halloween. I took the comic.

I give all the kids a coupon for a pencil.

/The coupons expired in 2009
//They're for a store that went out of business
 
2011-10-13 06:49:55 PM
I remember getting toothbrushes or dental floss, hated getting those

Give candy you self-righteous farkwits. Mother of god! Halloween, Xmas, and Easter are not the times to be preaching your beliefs about healthy food, "going green", or sustainable whatever. They are times for kids to get large amounts of high-sugar and hi-fructose corn syrup foods so they can be sick the next day.

Save your moralizing for New Years Eve.

Want better candy? Put a little bit more effort into your costumes.

I'm giving out carbon credits this year.

I give out free punches to the face. Bonus: Parents come back to find out WTF I did, I get to break out the shotty!

Blue stale popcorn balls are still hits, right?

Odd one would do that on a totally pagan holiday....

What is this crap?!? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of hippie dentist?

BeerBear: I remember getting toothbrushes or dental floss, hated getting those

If I lived in a neighborhood with someone who did that, I would hand out eggs.

BeerBear: I remember getting toothbrushes or dental floss, hated getting those

There was a dentist in our neighborhood back when I was a child. He always passed out toothbrushes & little tubes of toothpaste. His was the only house in the neighborhood that was egged & TPed.

The funny thing is that his brother, a GP, lived next door to him and he passed out full size candy bars.

I just pour all my expired medications into old Tic-Tac canisters.

Oh... a handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, um, buy some candy. So... thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

Sounds like a trick to me

Saw these in the stores last year:

Seems like a quick way to disappoint children.

"Oh my GOD...my face...it's melting!!!!"

Thanks for scaring the crap out of me, Jack!

Although I like his later comics drawn when he was leaking brains. Satan was represented as a scarecrow with a jack-o'lantern head and a chainsaw!

Just like in the book of Revelations, right?

The My Little Pony Killer: Want better candy? Put a little bit more effort into your costumes.

This. I got tired of 15+ year olds showing up in their street clothes and their hands out so last year I actually put up a sign on my front door that says "No costume: No candy".

/nope, never got TP'd or egged.

I don't mind getting coupons.

That's what I gave out last year. This year, I'm giving out a court-ordered advisement to my neighbors.

I thought it was the Jews, or Muslims, or the Pope . Or those filthy victims of child molestation incest (safe for work, but not safe for your stomach if you're human). They're the worst.

Bag of Hammers: This. I got tired of 15+ year olds showing up in their street clothes and their hands out so last year I actually put up a sign on my front door that says "No costume: No candy"

I keep a dud bowl next to the goodies. Kids in costume get peanut butter cups. Kids who made no effort get mini packages of sunflower seeds or black licorice or some other gross "treat" that nobody really likes but which make a satisfying "plunk" at the bottom of their pillowcases.

What's wrong with Ned Flanders scoop of potato salad?
 
2011-10-13 07:07:03 PM
When I was a kid a neighbor who worked at a turkey processing plant gave out real turkey feet. You could pull on the tendon and make the claw curl up.

Best Halloween "treat" ever.

Remember being a kid, eating piles of candy, and not getting sick? I have no desire to eat candy now, even on Halloween. I must be getting old.

So, you want us off your lawns, yeah?

ultraholland: I had a little girl come to the door with her parents last Halloween. I gave her some candy and in return she gave me Christian literature.

She is going to want to avoid me on Halloween.

/Or just in general, actually.
