Halloween Candy Etiquite Question

[mellowinman]

You could do like I, and have a house that is hidden by trees, and that is in a very dark place. You could have eight dogs, who get very upset when strangers come near the property, and have no neighbors. Also, the hand-painted sign at the end of the driveway, and in eight years of living here, we have never had a single trick or treater. If we ever got one, I'd probably give them a whole BAG of candy, just for their bravery.

If they taste normal. .. is anyone going to notice anyways?

I have Halloween candy from like 3 years ago. Doesn't stop me from eating it!

+1

Especially those two particular forms of candy. I do believe they would taste the same after a nuclear holocaust.

The crap is made out of sugar and preservatives. The stuff is made to preserve. Eat it. If you crap your pants then you'll know it was bad. Or it could have been the burrito you ate. Either way, eat it for science. Do it for the children.

I recently discovered two leftover bags of candy left over from last Halloween, each about half full and closed well, inside a tightly wrapped plastic shopping bag. It was never subjected to temperature extremes or around tobacco smoke.

They are Smarties and DumDums, not chocolate anything.

If I sample them and they seem OK, would it be improper of me to hand it out to my crackhead neighbor's hellions this Halloween?

Add some Nerds & Slo-Pokes and you'll have the whole spectrum of intelligence.

Random DumDum factoid: The mystery flavor is always changing because it's the sucker made from when they are changing flavors. They do a "running change" in production where Flavor #2 is pushed through the production line right behind Flavor #1 without tearing the line apart for the big clean-out.

I love facts like this.

They're made of sugar and probably also have salt in them, they never go bad. Hand 'em out.

Now THAT'S funny! ^^

The Smarties seem fine enough but the DumDums are sticky and the wrappers are a little hard to get off.

And to DwaynieAD: sorry about snapping at you in the earlier post. I hate the idea of buying more cheap candy and not having enough kids come around. If it was decent candy, I wouldn't mind if no one showed.

I live in a city in an apartment building.Nobody rings my door. In fact, even when i DID have my own street adress, nobody ever rang in ten years. Before that, i lived in the boonies where naturally, no one ever came to the door either. In 35 years i have yet to be asked for candy once on halloween.

I give the outdated candy to the ones that are to old to be tricker treating.

How true. We actually work two buckets. The kids that dressed up, and aren't friggin 16 years old get the goods. The ones that either shouldn't be doing it, or didn't even try (like wearing a football jersey and jeans), get the cheap stuff. The worst are the young parents with a baby that's too little for candy, in the stroller dressed up. Buy your own candy, seriously.
