Years ago I had what I thought was a bright idea - pass out quarters instead of candy. Then the kids could buy whatever they wanted instead of what I had selected for them. Plus, after Halloween was over, I'd have some cash left over instead of candy, which I don't eat. So, I bought a couple rolls of quarters at the bank.

It went over very well, since this was a while ago and a quarter was worth more than it is today.

Then, the following year I did it all over again.

But there was a problem, a big problem. The well publicized Tylenol cases had happened in the meanwhile. That is, someone had tampered with packages of Tylenol that were offered for sale in Chicago. I would rather not discuss that any further.

The following Halloween, right after the Tylenol incidents, there was not one single trick or treater at my door.

7 kinds of candy and 2 of each. I think the bad weighed about 5 lbs. We have a busy neighborhood.

Why would you buy candy when your kids can go trick or treating and get it for free?

Most years I buy about a dozen large (4.,25 oz) candy bars to give out. I amost have some left over, which I then eat myself. I don't get very many callers.

None. Keep the porch light off and they won't show up.

I used to make these caramel apples and put them into this homemade bazooka. Any little snot who egged my house lost a limb. No I always buy plenty. Though I always have way too much at the end of the night...... no one ever visits me. I'm VERY lonely.

What kind of sicko gives out pennies on Halloween? Quarters are reasonable..... but PENNIES??!!!! What can you do with a handful of pennies? If I gave the savages in my neighborhood pennies, my neighbors better pray to god that they parked their cars in the garage like me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Jnyw_BCzo

Looks like the intertubes sprunged a leak & done did gone flat for a while. A guy on another site said he thought Knology had died. I think they just Skittle about & tease us while everybody Snickers. Could be ghosts & goblins Gumming things up as they like to do in their own eerily Milky Way.
Could be nobody's posting cuz they're out earning a Payday - 'cept maybe some o' them one-percenters. They could be out on 5th Avenue makin' it rain at a 100 Grand bar. My pappy couldn't handle Halloween candy. Too much sugar would Push Pops right over the edge. We'd always bring home Mounds of it. Werther or not he ate any I'm not sure.
