So can I pass out some individually packaged organic Annie's gummy bunnies? Now that I have a child I would appreciate if all other houses did likewise.

When do we get to the part where we debate about the appropriateness of handing out a scripture passage with free trade chocolate?
I found one of these in my kid's bag last year, there wasn't even candy attached just a f'in pamphlet to visit the church but it was hidden behind a damn cheap pumpkin toy. WTH

Better than raisins, not as good as Dove chocolate.

OMG. If you can't find it in your heart to give kids candy on Halloween, shut of your porch light and don't bother.
I live in one of these neighborhoods that gets kids brought in. You know what I do? I start buying the Costco huge bags in September every week. Last year I went through 12 bags by 7:30pm. Yes, it's a fuckton of candy. But it's Halloween, and it makes kids smile. I don't get what the problem is.
I can't see being upset about giving kids candy on Halloween if they show up at your door as long as they aren't teenagers. I don't get trick-or-treaters

Come hang out with me. I had grown ass adults last year.

We used to go around our neighborhood as teenagers (in costume) at the end of the trick or treating and people would give up so much candy because they didn't want to get stuck with it. It was awesome. I live in an apartment and have for the last 5 years, so I don't get any trick or treaters. The first year I bought candy and was so excited and no one came to the door. It was really sad. I just wanted to see cute little kids in costumes and give them candy. But no. So now I don't buy candy because I will eat all of it.

DS would probably never leave your house. I had to stop buying them because he would tantrum after I cut him off at one package a day.
Depends. Are your TOTers largely middle aged women?
No.
Are you suggesting I think of the kids first, and me second?
(In all seriousness, though, I actually have no idea what kinds of candy kids tend to like best these days. I was hoping there'd be some overlap with what I like. Plus, mesh approves.)
I LOVED Dove chocolates when I was a kid! I thought they were the best!

I don't even mind the teenagers!
CANDY FOR EVERYONE!!!
Right? I don't even mind candy panhandlers 'cause do you see all this candy I have always being the damn optimist that assumes I will get 1 beeeellion TOTers? And do you see my ass and how little it needs to eat the leftovers?
Take a handful! Even if you're 16! And don't have a costume! And don't say thank you! And are brown!!!

That was my first handing out candy year too! I was SO sad. The only kid who came lived in the complex next door (I was in a triplex). I practically filled her sack.

This year we are rocking FULL SIZE CANDY BARS PEOPLE. Drop everyone at my house!!!
last year, the people who lived behind us (a youngish couple) had a big party on halloween night for other young marrieds/singles... all their guests showed up with Costco-sized boxes of full size candy bars... they laid out a fucking BUFFET of full-sized candy bars on their dining room table, and told the ToTers to have at it (this was their entertainment while drinking beer and generally being young and fun)
there's going to be a stampede at their house this year if they don't have another party!
I was coming in here to say that I wish more people TOT'd in our neighborhood, but we're only one street so we don't get a ton of traffic. I would love to live in a larger neighborhood with more TOTers.
BUT! we do have a little cul de sac block party like this because all the kids like to hang out (especially the little ones that don't walk to the next neighborhood over) after TOTing and play, so we set up our candy (and booze) and hang out in the cul de sac. It's also nice because the couple next door doesn't have kids yet and they supervise the candy while we take our kids TOTing on the rest of the street so both parents can go. We all always have tons of candy so the kids who do come to our street get loaded up.
