Okay, you’re NOT going to pass these out to trick or treaters. They might be illegal or cruel. And you’re a responsible adult. But still, there’s an evil side to you. So let it out here. What evil Halloween treats would you consider passing out?

1. Those little packs of 4 or 5 cigarettes that came with C-rations.
2. Little 1 oz bottles of booze.
3. Caramel covered onions on a stick.
4. Condiment packets.
5. McDonald’s french fries. (Not a coupon. Dump several extra large things of french fries into a bowl, and offer it to the trick or treaters saying “Go ahead, take a handful!”

Those 15 year old meds I found in my medicine cabinet. Can’t make out what they are but they’re brightly colored.

Also those Mickey Mouse “stamps” I got from that hippie back in '72.

Garlic-flovored mints (for repelling vampires) are a real thing. I’ll bet kids will love them!

I always offer something awful first. “Do you want a red potato, a white potato or a purple potato?” Or “Would you like a carrot, a brussel sprout or an onion?” Turns out they like hard boiled eggs and pickles.

Then candy!

😕

I give out unsharpened Halloween-themed pencils (along with candy). I’ve done so for years and they’re always a hit. Well sometimes the really little kids try to hand them back, but the adults they’re with don’t let them - hey, free school supplies!
