Jenamarie Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 It's never too early to talk about Halloween candy! It's less than two months away! So... What did you LOVE to get in your Trick or Treat bag as a kid? What did you HATE to get in your T'o'T bag as a kid? What are you planning to give out to T'o'T'ers this Halloween?

skalenfehl Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I loved candy, of course, especially chocolate. I hated apples. Not sure what I'll give out. Probably candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxz72 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I loved bit o' honey and hershey's miniatures.... here's one of my favorite memories of Halloween.... my oldest brother is 10 years older than me, so by the time I was 5 or 6 he was too old to go trick or treating. When I would get home, we would dump my pillowcase full of candy on the floor and go through it piece by piece playing "yay or nay". If I said yay he could have it, nay it was mine!! haha!

beefche Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What did I love? Anything chocolate (the good stuff, not the generic kind). I actually don't have kids come to my house for Halloween--ok, let me clarify--I get about 5 kids (literally, I counted one year). So instead I dress up for work and get the good stuff to pass out (we trick or treat at work). I'm struggling to think of a costume this year. Last year, I went as a nudist on strike.

Nudist on strike. That's awesome. That's what I'll say I am when I go to my friend's annual Halloween party and I don't dress up. Thanks for the idea.

beefche Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ah, but Pammie, ya gotta have the signs! I have signs on sticks that said "Nudist on Strike" and "Say No to Skin!"

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 What did you LOVE to get in your Trick or Treat bag as a kid? Genuine Candy Bars (which cost a whole nickel back then). What did you HATE to get in your T'o'T bag as a kid? Apples, since most of them were wormy and came off of the trees in the orchard. What are you planning to give out to T'o'T'ers this Halloween? Toothbrushes and a lecture on dental hygiene. Actually, no kids come to my door on Halloween. Too scary. Speaking of costumes, the only H'ween parties I've been to lately are Utah Naturist parties. You can do a lot more when you're a nudist. One year I wore a little apron made up of bubble wrap and went as "A Nudist on Television." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 What did you LOVE to get in your Trick or Treat bag as a kid? Back in the late 50's and most of the 60's it was pretty safe to go trick & treating. I lived in Ballard in Seattle. We were allowed to go two blocks away in all directions. I loved the popcorn balls, candied and/or caramel apples, brownies, home made fudge. Also loved the bubble gum. There wasn't much store bought candy back then. Commercialism hadn't really embraced Halloween. In the late 60's when I was a teen, and the two youngest sibs were wanting to be out trick&treating, the neighborhood moms got together and decided they would hold a neighborhood Halloween party. The kids hit the homes on the blocks where all the parents had agreed to have a neighborhood party. They took their loot home, and then went to the house that was hosting the party. There we had games to play, apples to dunk for, made popcorn balls, taffy, candied/caramel apples. We had sandwiches and apple juice too. We went home at 10PM. I only participated for two years before I graduated High School and moved away. But I sure missed it. I preferred the Halloween party to trudging all over the neighborhood. What did you HATE to get in your T'o'T bag as a kid?I hate those corn candies. Brach's Candied Corn - or anything similar. YUCK- might as well eat super sugared wax. What are you planning to give out to T'o'T'ers this Halloween?We don't get any kids out where we live. Which suits me just fine. When those pass along cards first came out, I gave them out along with the candy. That was just the one year I lived in town. Since then my homes have been out in the boonies.
