I haven’t lived somewhere with trick or treaters in a few years - got some bulk full size just yesterday in preparation!! Excited
Come stay at my house for an evening. Last year we got over 250. It’s pretty insane.
Our house never gets visitors, but our driveway is at like a 45° angle and it’s hard to see the porch from the street.
It’s nice because our house basically can’t flood, but I feel really bad for the delivery people.
It’d definitely be more of a commitment, but you could set up at the front of the driveway with a table and some chairs.
Some years ago, I was trick-or-treating with my son, and one of the houses had a guy out front with a box of full-sized candy bars, almost full. He just held out the box and said “Help yourself”, and my son asked if he could take 2. The guy just said “You can take the whole box if you want - my wife said I have to stay out here until they’re all gone, and I’d rather be watching the game.”
Damn what a guy, you must’ve been secretly annoyed lol
Oh, your bag’s full. I guess it’s time to head home. Maybe I can catch the end of the game.
Did he take the whole box?
I didn’t let him take all of them, but he took about 15.
That’s going to be a core memory for sure
around 30
Bad math. 94 was 32 years ago.
Edit: the bad math was coming from inside the house.
Unless this was originally posted last year and the 31 years was correct
No, the post says “around 35” which can’t be true yet for someone born in 94.
Edit: never mind, thought about it twice.
Worse than that. I’m 54, but I swear “around 30 years ago” was somewhere around the early 80’s when I was growing up. Math may argue, but my heart says it’s true no matter how much my knees deny.
2030 is almost only three years away
…and thanks to that, Death will continue to let them live.
I do love a good story in fictional writing.
When I was a kid in the 60s, there an old lady who handed out giant homemade popcorn balls at Halloween. The next day at school, everyone would be talking about it.
My parents were always twitchy about Halloween anyway, so they wouldn’t let my brother and I got to her house because it was homemade, and it might be poisonous. I tried to explain that if that were true, every kid in every class I’d had in elementary school would be dead by now, because they all got popcorn balls every year.
I’ll bet they were good. I wouldn’t know.
Every neighbourhood that had people with “fuck you” money had the occasional house like that.
In mine, one of the first mansions that had been built when the couple was young was still handing out full-sized 300g Lindt bars when I was young and the husband had already died of old age. The wife is now long dead as well, the kids sold the property to a developer soon after, but even 40 years later the long-term residents still remember.
As soon as you said Lindt I knew they were loaded, God rest their souls.
just remember that if you live in an area with a decent amount of muslims then don’t give out haribo and other wine gums, because they contain animal gelatine and thus aren’t halal.
i mean, options are a thing people can have.
i don’t really like the chocolate, so i’ll eat all your haribo/gummies if you eat all my chocolate
No? Your religious restrictions aren’t my problem. This one isn’t allowed to eat pig so we stop giving out candy with gelatine, next one isn’t allowed to take candy from a women so we have the men hold the plate, next one isn’t allowed to see a women who isn’t family so we banish our women to the kitchen. Just because the one does look more reasonable to you then the others doesn’t mean the one isn’t already ridiculous.
Hand out stones to be accommodating to the Abrahamic religions.
