Best: kit-kats, twix, heath bar, and the wee dark/light/crunch mix assortment.

Worst: banana laffy taffy, smarties

Also I freaking love black licorice and my kids do too but would never, ever dare hand it out, absolutely a trick not a treat for most kids.

I also love black licorice. Did we just become best friends?

Trick or treating isn’t so much of a thing in Australia, even though the idea of Halloween and dressing up has become more popular.

Anyway, no one has ever done it in our neighbourhood, but just in case I buy a bag of chupa chups in October in case anyone knocks on the door.

Best: Reese’s, starbursts, Skittles

Worst: Those peanut butter chews wrapped in orange or black that have a weird soft but chunky feel that reminds me of something half digested. Anything healthy. Anything not candy (stickers, pencils, etc).

Glow bracelets go super fast in my neighborhood. They even take them off my skeletons. Of course we do candy too.

Reese’s are trash but the rest is on point. Personal opinion obviously

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

Ha, I would take Necco over whoppers and sixlets any day. We should have been friends as kids; best candy trade partner ever.

I once gave a single banana to a group of kids and told them to be sure to split it between them.

That was a massive improvement over the year before, where I had nothing at all.

It was extra sad because their parents only allowed them to go through the building they lived in, and it didn’t have many people.

Thing is, halloween isn’t really a thing there, plus I am absolutely terrible with dates.

When I was a kid my father handed out cans of soup.

My MIL used to work for a dentist. One year he encouraged? required? the employees to hand out toothbrushes on Halloween. My hubby begged his mom not to do it, to just fib and tell her boss she had. But… she went through with it. They got egged that night & their pumpkin was smashed. She fucked around and found out.

Classic

Could have handed out banana but that’s just me

Your birthdays must have been memorable

I got eerily angry complaints from parents one Halloween after I gave out cotton candy “because it filled up too much space in their bags for something that would dissolve in their mouth all at once anyways as well as make them hyper as it’s just sugar”. Makes me wonder how they spent their evenings.
