Speaking from experience, a nice ripe durian costs at least $10, has annoying if not sharp projections, and is so heavy and unwieldy that it would weigh down if not destroy a kid’s Halloween bag. Save it for a kid you REALLY don’t like. ---

I’d put out a big bowl of [Sugar Free Gummy Bears](http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006J1FBLM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1414517170&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40). Judging by the reviews, it’d be a Halloween they won’t soon forget! :evilsmiley: ---

Cocktail olives on a frilled toothpick. Those mini bagel halves with a schmear. Of wasabi. With some lox or sushi on top. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > . . . > > I would give out cheap, plastic whistles. That way, their parents can enjoy it too. A neighbor of mine gave out whistles one year. It was a “trick” for the whole neighborhood. Even worse than the occasional “PoP!” of fireworks in July. The Mothers all just sent the kids outside to play with them, so there were about hundred of them going off all around the place until the wee hours on Halloween, then a slowly diminishing chorus each afternoon and evening through about the end of November. I meant to TP his house to say “Thanks!”, but I never got around to it. I think I’ll just go see if he still lives there. . . - Nicorette lozenges - Wintergreen lifesavers - Unsweetened Kool-aid packets - Licorice scottie dogs.

That sounds like an excellent thing to keep on hand for those high school juniors, who really are too old to be scamming free candy. If they can’t be assed to find a little kid to take with them, they deserve an empty baggie. ---
