Halloween Candy

[Shelly]

Well, I just dropped a small fortune. We get a lot kids.

I didn't buy the candy I reeeaaallly wanted because then I'd have to back to the store and buy some more.

[Summers]

I feel your pain. Our street is where everyone comes in San Marcos, so we have to really stock up.

[jman3000]

almond joys and bit o honeys are all you need.

and those little caramel dealies.

[Steve Irwin]

i tell the kids to shutup and go away and they start crying to their mommy's

wait, i still go trick-or-treating! yayyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Shelly]

Blech! I don't want to be known as the house that gives out crappy candy! :lol

I was gonna wait until the day before, but I thought the pickings would be slim. Target was already starting to pull the Halloween candy, which means the Christmas candy is coming out.

[CuckingFunt]

I haven't decided yet whether or not I'll even be home on Halloween, so I haven't gotten any candy. Don't imagine I'll get too many kids here, anyway.

However, I do appreciate any excuse to have Smarties, M&Ms, and Reese's (pieces and cups) around the house.

[duncan228]

We don't get a lot of kids but I can't buy it until the day before or even the day of.
We'll eat it!
I can't even hide it, I'm as bad as the kids! :lol

My oldest THINKS he can hide his stash from me, but I always find it :nerd

I'll get my fill of chocolate. My oldest doesn't like Butterfingers (my fave!), Reese's cups, and can't eat anything with nuts (allergy). My youngest doesn't like Snickers, so I hit the jackpot all around!

[jman3000]

airheads are also awesome.

Neither of my kids will go trick or treating this year.
My 17 year old stopped years ago.
My almost 13 year old I tried to convince that this year was really her last shot to go with a group of friends, but she's not interested.

Eat some of the good stuff for me! :lol

[Shelly]

I don't mind the older kids going trick-or-treating. But they have to dress up!

[Kori Ellis]

...

Holy moly, remind me not to come to your house :lol Those are the two candies I hate most in the whole world :vomit:

[E20]

Simple. Don't open the door and turn off the lights. :lol

[duncan228]

I agree.
I told my daughter that if she didn't want to do the whole costume thing that we could do face paint and "make" her into something that way.
She seems to be more excited about seeing the little ones and giving out the candy.

I prefer the Mexican equivalent: You-think-you're-all-bad-nows.

[KEDA]

Tootsie Rolls FTW

[T Park]

Reese's (pieces and cups) around the house.


Damn Reese's FTW.

[Shelly]

Tootsie Rolls FTW

Flavored Tootsie Rolls are da bomb!

[ashbeeigh]

Those and Dots are the best...ever.

[midgetonadonkey]

I give the teenagers that come to my house Ramen Noodles.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Granola bars and school supplies: ultimate Halloween kids repellant.

[T Park]

Don't be shocked if they egg your house :lol

[Melmart1]

I looove Halloween. There are no kids in my sister's neighborhood but there are a ton around here so they are coming here at noon and we will start baking cookies and cupcakes to hand out with the candy. We have these giant inflatable things to put out on the lawn and I have already started downloading the spooky music to play. My nephews are gonna get a real kick out of it this year.

[Shelly]

Of course, there are those few house that give out Chic Tracts.

[Melmart1]

Last year I was sifting through my nephew's candy to take out anything that was open or looked suspicious ... and someone had given him religious literature :dizzy

[FromWayDowntown]

I choose to give out literature on how too much candy rots teeth, along with assorted office supplies like paper clips and rubber bands.

I'm EXTREMELY popular.

[Steve Irwin]

i still trick or treat

maybe ill come to your houses

[Shelly]

I bet Jimbo gives out tons of candy that stick to your teeth and pull out your fillings...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Probably slips a business card in with his other hand.

[ShoogarBear]

I give the teenagers that come to my house Ramen Noodles.You flash them?

[exstatic]

Simple. Don't open the door and turn off the lights. :lol
That's my play. The last time I gave out candy, I think I got 8 doorbell rings all night, and got stuck with candy I don't like, because that's what I buy to distribute (so that I won't eat it). A lot of folks go to their schools or churches now for trick or treat. Fine with me. I bring home takeout, and sequester myself in the master suite until about 9PM watching TV, then I only turn on a few lights after that.

[mrsmaalox]

We had house in our neighborhood that gave out toothbrushes; my mom always made us go there! When my youngest was in a Christian school they gave us fortune cookies with Bible verses to hand out. My all time favorite Halloween candy is Smarties---my kids pick them out of their loot bags and save them for future "bribing".

[Summers]

The big kids who don't dress up annoy me. I don't mind giving them candy, but if they're old enough to get a job and buy their own damn candy, they have to work for it a little. And I get bored with teenage girls just dressing slutty, like that's a costume, but that's another thread. :)

We will probably hide out too. :lol There's a Spurs road game that night, right?

We'll just hide upstairs. I'm not going to deal with the dogs going crazy every time I have to answer the door. I might put a free-for-all bucket of candy on the doorstep or something :lol

Well, I know where I'll go before watching the game.

not if I don't get there first!

[drunkendan]

Don't you hate when these 15 year old kids come trick or treatin' and don't even have a costume on. That shit pisses me off!!!

Dammit someone already posted that....but it still pisses me off.

Raptors opening night at home.

One of the joys of living in a gated subdivision. The only kids who come by are our neighbors.

This solves that problem very quick.

[Jimcs50]

Snickers, Almond Joys, Hersheys, and Milky Ways

[SpursWoman]

We made little loot bags to hand out filled with gummy candy that look like severed body parts, suckers, and the Junior Mints/chocolate crayon mix.

I am the same way. I remember whenever I got crappy candy as a kid, I promised that when I gave away candy, it would all be good. Sure enough, my first halloween in my own place, I spent a ton of money on candy..all the good stuff. All brand name. :lol

When I was a kid I always hated the people who would give out pecans. I would look at them like pecans??....SERIOUSLY??? I guess thats what happens when you live on the west side of S.A.

I used to get pecans in my bag all the time. Pissed me off because we had two pecan trees in the backyard, I didn't need any extras. But those are still infinitely better than those nasty orange peanut things :vomit:

[TheZackAttack!]

I liked in Bad Santa how Billy Bob Thorton puts candy corn in the cubby kids advent calender, lol

[SpursWoman]

With as expensive as pecans are at HEB, especially with Thanksgiving coming up ... I'd kill for a bag of pecans. :lol

I miss my grandmother's big assin pecan trees. :(

[Shelly]

But did any of you ever get a rock???

<---------

My mother gives me a big bag of shelled pecans from the trees at her house every year when I go home to Oklahoma. I like to grab a handful out of the bag in the freezer every once in while just to snack on. It brings back some of those great kid memories. I would be ecstatic if someone gave me pecans for Halloween. :spin

[samikeyp]

You should greet the kids asking for candy like you are in your avatar. :)

That would be funny!! :lol

[SpursWoman]

The kids so far are freaking out over the loot bags ... I think I've seen a couple of them twice so far. :lol

And they love User's Transformers pumpkin. :makeout

[SpursWoman]

Although the really little kids aren't liking the fog machine. :drunk

[midgetonadonkey]

We didn't have many trick or treaters come to our house. The whole neighborhood was dark and we seemed to be the only ones that were giving anything out. But we did manage to give out a lot of candy and a 12 pack of Ramen Noodles, which were a big hit to the teenagers. I really only gave them out to those without costumes.

[CuckingFunt]

I haven't had any here, so far.

I kind of expected that since my apartment building is somewhat tucked away and dark. Also, it's really foggy and misty here today, so my guess is that there's a lot of haunted house and mall action for the trick-or-treaters.

Glad I went with the gut instinct and only bought a couple of small bags of candy.

[Melmart1]

Dear Lord, all the decorations and cars stopping to come to my house caused a traffic jam on our street, a bus couldn't get out :lol

We had about 20 bags of candy and we are almost out. I came inside for a short break cus the smoke machine was making my contacts dry. My family is passing out the rest.

And some freak tried to steal our Jack Skellington lawn ornament :madrun

[Shelly]

the last few kids that came by hit the jackpot!

The little kids couldn't figure my look costume out and kept asking if I was a zombie or what I was. I told them I didn't know what I was either.

[atxrocker]

i have been eating chocolate all day. i'm staring at a crunch bar on my desk right now. i think it'll be my next victim.

[SpursWoman]

We had a ton of kids this year .. and some of the best costumes I've ever seen. It was awesome. :)

We had one loot bag left. Thank goodness both of my kids scored, big time. :smokin

[midgetonadonkey]

I guess many people don't bring their kids to the Southeast Side. I was a little upset by this.

[Melmart1]

Shit, we were swamped. A couple of times I counted and there was literally 20 kids in line waiting and taking pictures of the lawn decorations. And that is not including the ones my brother and his friend scared away with their costumes.

[midgetonadonkey]

Fuck. We were drinking out on the porch, waiting for the little bastards to come get candy and nothing. We probably got about 30 kids all night.

[marini martini]

We had 5 billion, seriously. Those sons of biches

[slayermin]

I bought 20 mini peanut butter cups from the 7-11 across the street at 10cents each. But no door knocks so far.

[Melmart1]

I was gonna drink tonight with my brother but he had to head back to base because it looks like he might go TDY soon :(

Next year though we are gonna do the decorations, smoke machine etc but also a graveyard and haunted house. It's gonna be fucking awesome! I hope we cause another traffic jam and people start honking their horns like idiots again.

[easjer]

We don't get any kids at our place, which sort of surprised me, because I know there are kids in the complex. Guess they just hit the neighborhood behind us. I wanted to go out with SFIE and the dog and see the kids trick or treating, but I had a massive headache and curled up in fetal position on the couch instead. Good times.


Sounds like you guys did a great job for the kids though. Good for you!

[T Park]

Im jealous.

I have to work, and i love halloween.

I cant wait to have my own place and give out candy :(

[jackseven]

I went out as a pro poker player. I wore really dark shades and a big black jacket ala Phil Helmuth. I even walked around saying "With my DVD, you'll dodge bullets baby!" but no one knew what the hell I was talking about.

One smartass dad said, "Hey look it's dog the bounty hunter" in a really sarcastic way.

I just walked away from one house. They had their lights on and stuff so I figured it was all good. Then the lady answers the door like I was just some visitor. I said "TRICK OR TREAT BABY!!!" and she gives me this blank stare and furrows her brow like she didn't know it was October 31st. Long story short, she goes well ok hold let me get you some stuff and I see her walking down the hallway with V8 and a box of triscuits. I just booked it.

Had a decent haul overall.

3 packs of gum
3 andes mints
1 snickers full size
tons of smarties
1 pack of pop tarts
some fruit cups
baby ruth fun sized
travel size soap
pez dispenser w/ pez refill
spurs pocket schedule

[sa_butta]

A neat trick for next year is to have an air horn behind your back and just as the kids grab the candy out of the bowl.....

I watched it happen to several kids last night at one house. Hilarious

Really only used on bigger kids.

[Frank Brickowski]

Took my daughters last night and one house gave out popsicles. I thought this was a great idea especially since they gave each kid two. Two for dad, one for each child.
