Halloween Candy

[Thinktank]

Shoveling out cheap Halloween candy to kids is a $335 million "trick" we play on them
that teaches them in a tooth rotting way, no one ever gives you anything good for "free."
Quality instead of Quantity would be the smart thing to teach kids about what
we shove down our stomachs, on Halloween.


I think every kid on earth would rather have one of those ^ instead of bags and bags of the cheap stuff.

On second thought, they all get one beet.
A small beet.

What! No Kittens!

I'm so disappointed in you.

My Wife will only buy the candy that she likes so she can eat the leftovers.

Wonder how much longer trick or treating will be around. I hope we never get to the point where parents would rather just buy their kids candy and stay home.

Reason I bring it up is alot of places are already there. Years ago I tried to take my son trick or treating in a nice neighbourhood when we we're on vacation in California. Took only a couple houses to realize it was a big no-no. First few didn't answer the door and the third told me I was an idiot..... and I was. By the time we got back to the sidewalk a lazer pointer was on me. Scary Halloween but not in fun way, I wouldn't recommend it.

With a food sensitivity to food dyes in our house we never buy candy to hand out. Usually Playdough. We get less then 10 kids every year and instead of having more garbage to eat the kids have an activity to do.

The kids sell their candy to use for $1/lb. They can keep some of their favorites. I hoard the Coffee Crisps and the rest go to the food bank.

the internet is great. I checked Kit Kats and found out something about big corporations.
They're greedy.

Have A Little PGPR In Your Chocolate

Big corporate chocolate manufacturers like Hershey’s do not sell true chocolate products. It is too expensive for them to provide you with real chocolate, so they use an ingredient call Palsgaard4150 (PGPR) in all of their products. PGPR is a substitute for coca butter.

The FDA deemed PGPR safe for humans as long as you restrict your intake to 7.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Otherwise you’d be open to reversible liver enlargement at higher intakes.

When I run out of candy, I give the kids my Lipitor.

Not a lot of kids in our neighbourhood, and we'll be out with our own youngster anyway. Not buying any H'ween candy, at least not to hand out

I think I just found out why no one invites you to their Halloween parties.

[the truth]

Candy isn't as good as it used to be 20 years ago. They shrunk the mini-sizes down to extra-extra small and that throws off the texture. Not as much variety either.

Where are good places to get candy? Deals? Obviously WalMart/Superstore are stops but where do people find the good candy?

Costco all the way

I'm beginning to ponder why I should be expected to give any kid anything that I have to buy with my hard earned munny and why I should be expected to give them potatoes or beets. Nobody ever gives me anything.
Any other time you give kids candy you get arrested.

I'm just gonna turn out the lights and close the blinds.
If I had it my way I'd electrify the doorbell.
Bah humbug

Wow. Playdough. Gee......thanks??

then don't stop at my house.

My daughter is super excited for the leftovers plus for those kids who have food allergies or other medical condition the prevent them from enjoying candy can have a treat they can play with instead of throw away.

Who needs a bag full of candy anyways.

I think Play-Do is an EXCELLENT idea!! It doesn't rot teeth, kids aren't allergic to it and it lasts a h*ll of a lot longer than candy!!

Back in the Stone Age, I always targeted the houses that gave out homemade treats - chocolate Rice Krispy squares, generous slices of cake with yummy icing, bags of richly buttered popcorn... except for Carmel Apples... no carmel apples, please and thank you!!
