DAMN -- stuck AGAIN with a ton of leftover halloween candy

Only had 8 kids come to the door this year. Last year it was 11. Now I again have about 400 reese's peanut butter cups sitting here. What the hell am I going to do with all these cups?!

Get ready for CD on a sugar high for the next 3 weeks.

Send them to your top affiliates as a gesture of appreciation...

Or store them for 6 weeks and hand them out to the homeless with Christmas.

Don't forget the pics.

I had a big bowl of candy on the front porch and I was handing it out. I went inside for less than a minute and those punks came and stole it all. Three big bags worth. There was a trail of dropped candy all the way down the driveway.

I actually got a laugh out of it though as it reminded me of being a kid on Halloween.

I wasn't sure what to expect seeing as I just moved here but it's been pretty good, tons of kids, not many older punk types. My daughter's loving it.

Those 7 kids all got a good mittful of little chocolate bars though, like half a dozen each.

They hit the jackpot at my house.

We only had about 24 or so kids this year. Quieter than usual. Rather surprising since its nice mild weather out there at the moment.

I blame McCain.

Me too dude. I got a bowl full left over. Christians really fucked Halloween pretty good. Stupid fucking Halloween night church shit and crap up at the local malls. I miss Halloween in the 70's when we had the old plastic costumes with that smell...c'mon...you know the smell. And they always had a rip in the ass before the night was over lol. My kids don't know what they're missing at Halloween. I miss fake razor blade apple stories and bag snatching.

I did all my trick or treating in the 70's. I remember a few years having to plod through two feet of snow to get to each house. One year I had my candy stolen. Good thing it was my second go-round and still had all the stuff I collected earlier still at home.

Most years my parents had over 300 kids come to the door. These days they say it's rare to see more than 30 or 40.

Halloween is dying, at least for kids. For adults there are more bashes than ever.

Dear god, I live in a college town. I can't go into a convenience store on Halloween without 30 fucking coeds dressed in tight nurses costumes and the like lol. I can't say I hate Halloween as an adult at all. But yea, it ain't what it was for kids at all.

Related note: We had a dumb fuck neighbor back in the day that would always, put a bowl on the porch with a little cardboard sign that said "Please Take One". PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. We'd dump the bowl in our bags and then break the bowl lol. We were allowed to be little dicks back then. Now they put em' on Ritalin when they go apeshit.

Granted I kinda shot myself in the foot with no Halloween decorations, but I AM in a condo complex and thus far at 7:30 PM my time, a total of 2 kids have knocked on my neighbor's door...neither knocked on my door. I've had zilch, and supposed to be dieting...yay candy! lol

These days Halloween is mostly about "grownups" not having to feel guilty about buying a shit load of candy for themselves with the pretext of having some for the kiddies...

We have a ton of candy left too! Not sure why not many kids come by, but I think it is because we live off of a main road. All the kids I saw tonight were going walking along the main roads in town and not really walking off on any of the side roads. Kind of sad, actually! Even some of the houses on my street with tons and tons of Halloween lights and pumpkins and the like were hardly visited.

FUCK YES!! We had these giant fucking pillow cases that you could stuff a pig in and still have enough candy for the next 6 weeks.

Uuuuuugh...remember all those little shitty pal bubble gums that the poor people gave out?

I had NO kids come here this year at all. Of course I didn't expect too many because I live on a dead end road, but I expected SOME.

Now here I am with Diabetes and about 5lbs of chocolates in my face. lmao

It was all those scare stories about razor blades in candy back in the 80's. But honestly, how often did that actually happen, if ever?

Secondly, how can you even put razor blades in candy? Most everything is in sealed packages, even the minis. Fruits and vegetables get picked in some god forsaken 3rd world country, shipped over here and plunked down on a table in the grocery store and are never packaged or protected yet people never wonder if those are tainted.

It's the same with kidnapping. 99% of cases involve a family member. The number of children taken by strangers is around 100/year yet people think it happens constantly so they never let their kids out.

I really do remember when you only came home trick or treating when your arms hurt from the weight of you lugging a pillow case which by now had been flung over your shoulder gripped white knuckled as there was very little fabric left to hold. You had already given up on leg cramps, they meant nothing. The only way a house was off limits was if there was tall weeds in the yard, broken windows, and obviously vacant. The only other possible way a house could deter you was perhaps a chain link fence and at least two dobermans off leashes. Lights out in a house only meant you must knock harder and be more persistent. You also felt extreme pity for any kid who was stuck with a plastic hand help pumpkin to hold candy in, you already knew it was barely a step above a flimsy paper bad whose handles would soon rip by the end of the first block. Hell the only real danger beyond said leg and arm cramps, was the parental theft factor as they "needed" to check your candy for all the possible "questionable" candy - that always seemed to be the better candy they would steal for themselves.

The 80's? No friend, those stories were actually carried forward from the late 60's and 70's, maybe even earlier. The reports of razor blades weren't about candy, they were about apples. Back then some people used to give out apples to kids instead of candy, many gave apples from their own apple trees in their yard.

In fact back then kids used to yell "HALLOWEEN APPLES!" as often as "trick or treat" when they came to the door.

To this day I still don't know if it ever really happened, but many back then used to talk about how someone managed to hide razor blades inside apples. In my early years of trick or treating some of our nieghbors gave out candy apples, and everyone's mom (including mine) would CUT THOSE APPLES into smaller pieces in order to check for razor blades, believe it or not. Whether it really happened or not the worry was there.

In fact, one or two houses in my area used to give out little bags of homemade popcorn, and many of us kids had to throw that stuff away at the behest of our parents. "NO HOMEMADE STUFF, IT MIGHT BE POISONED!"... unless you could tell them EXACTLY which house you got it from. If they knew the people then it was okay... but really, who the hell wanted popcorn? The real prize was the houses who gave out canned drinks, bags of chips, and anything chocolate. The rest was mostly filler --- rockets, gum, carmels, or those really chewy candies with the little bats on the wrapper. Then there was the suckers, hard candies, etc, all the crap that you ate last (or didn't eat at all). All that stuff was safe, but my mom still examined everything and checked out all the wrappers for signs of tampering before we could dive in.

I think these days more and more parents are just keeping their kids home and avoiding the whole mess, which is a shame because through all the rumors and fears of candy-tamerping and kids being abducted or hit by cars etc etc etc... I do have a lot of really great memories of halloween and walking the neighborhood with my big pillowcase and costume hauling in gobs of goodies.

Brilliantly stated. Except... for me the ones I had to worry about theiving my stash were my older brothers and sisters. Other than for the purposes of my protection my mom had no interest in candy, so she would check it over and then leave me to it. I had 4 older brothers and sister to worry about though. Well, three. my oldest sister was married and long gone when I was still small. But the rest, especially my two brothers who were too old to go out trick or treating themselves, used to pilfer my stash mercilessly. I prayed for a padlocked trunk to put my candy in, but never did get one.

And you're so bang on about those plastic pumpkins. The little plastic handle would invariably come loose once the thing got full too, and every year there were kids having to waste precious time picking their candy off the road or someone's lawn (or digging for it in the snow) because their pumpkin broke. ha ha

My kids don't know what they're missing at Halloween. I miss fake razor blade apple stories and bag snatching.
That's right, blame the Christians instead of parents that would rather send their child into a safe environment.

Not 1 kid this year and my house is fairly close to an elementary school. However, the little punks did manage to tp the hell out of the trees in the front, they were howling all last night like some kind of banshees until 1 AM so I doubt they were "scared" of free candy.

I have a theory that parents give their kids candy all year long now so it's not a biggie. When I was growing up my mom didn't buy lots of candy, so Halloween was like a huge candy payday for me. I'd come home with 4 grocery bags of candy and be set. I'd start early and go for hours, lol.

Oh well, I got snickers bars for the next few months now, lol.

In fact back then kids used to yell "HALLOWEEN APPLES!" as often as "trick or treat" when they came to the door.

To this day I still don't know if it ever really happened, but many back then used to talk about how someone managed to hide razor blades inside apples. In my early years of trick or treating some of our nieghbors gave out candy apples, and everyone's mom (including mine) would CUT THOSE APPLES into smaller pieces in order to check for razor blades, believe it or not. Whether it really happened or not the worry was there.

In fact, one or two houses in my area used to give out little bags of homemade popcorn, and many of us kids had to throw that stuff away at the behest of our parents. "NO HOMEMADE STUFF, IT MIGHT BE POISONED!"... unless you could tell them EXACTLY which house you got it from. If they knew the people then it was okay... but really, who the hell wanted popcorn? The real prize was the houses who gave out canned drinks, bags of chips, and anything chocolate. The rest was mostly filler --- rockets, gum, carmels, or those really chewy candies with the little bats on the wrapper. Then there was the suckers, hard candies, etc, all the crap that you ate last (or didn't eat at all). All that stuff was safe, but my mom still examined everything and checked out all the wrappers for signs of tampering before we could dive in.

I think these days more and more parents are just keeping their kids home and avoiding the whole mess, which is a shame because through all the rumors and fears of candy-tamerping and kids being abducted or hit by cars etc etc etc... I do have a lot of really great memories of halloween and walking the neighborhood with my big pillowcase and costume hauling in gobs of goodies.

i remember the houston dad who murdered his son with a cyanide filled pixie stix back in the 70s, i was trick or treating age at the time, living in houston i think he also put cyanide in the son's friend's pixie stix too, to make it look more believable.

my parents and all my friend's parents put the clamp down on our trick or treating after that.

The sad thing is that every Halloween "tampering" crime that I have ever heard of was done by a relative of the victim.

There was one house on my old street like that, back in the early 70's. That guy's house was always dark on Halloween, and all the kids thought the people who lived there were too cheap. So every year on the morning after he'd find his house covered with eggs from the night before.

He eventually moved. :D


I vowed back then that when I got older and owned a house I would never ever be "that guy".

Yes, but they only allow single wide trailers. Double wides are for rich people.

I love how the cops drive in the cars and hand out candies.. they honk their horn and all the kids come running to get candy from a guy in a car holding out candy..

like kids are not taught over and over not to take candy from strangers especially in cars.

Well, whatever the date you want to use, my point was that it may or may not of even happened yet everyone was led to believe it was an epidemic.

I remember as a kid hospitals offered free x-rays of candy to make sure there were no razor blades inside.

Point was, it was silly hysteria.

Wow. Is there any chance you're heavily over weight? I ask because surely you must have known at least in the back of your mind when you were buying all of that chocolate that there's no way you'd give even a tiny portion of it away. A part of you _WANTED_ it around, because hey someone's got to finish it, right?

Psychology of being fat right there. I know, because I used to do the same things.

You're so swift on the uptake it hurts. Of course I wanted some. Fact is I don't buy anything remotely like it the entire year, and in fact there was about a 5 or 6 year period a while back where I never bought a chocolate bar, ever.

Yes, I have a bit of chub on me. Nothing major, maybe 15 lbs at most. I'm 6'4" and just under 240 lbs right now so it's kind of hard to spot. But you and I have spoke on other threads about fitness before, where I told you that this past summer I did a lot of mountain biking and walking. Did a few 30+ km bike rides, and many many 3+ km walks. I also have a multi gym in the basement that I've been using. I'm 45, I don't think that's too bad a regimen for a guy my age.

But no, I don't plan on finishing all this halloween loot myself. I have plenty of nieces and nephews and kids in my family to treat now and again that it will be gone from my evil grasp in no time.

You have to have a sense of humor about these things. :D

We had three groups of kids for a total of about 13. I only bought one bag of candy so we don't have a massive amount leftover. I was surprised we even had any kids since we live in an area with no real through streets and not many kids.

What did you give those kids? I'll bet it was something good.

I might have to dress up as a giant midget next year and come around your place sack in hand. :D
