Trick or treating worked out spectacularly yesterday

Only a few bars left and all were 3 Musketeers so easy to toss without worry.

We had 12. Well, 10. But two middle-schoolers came by twice because we give out full bars.

So we've got a ton of candy left. Feel free to stop by the house if you live in the area. :-)

650 pieces of candy. Handed out one at a time. Out by 7:30

Ours started slow, but we had a lot between 5:45 and 7:30.

Still had a fair amount of candy left over.....wife will take all the Haribo and Skittles packages to school with her and put them in the treat bowl for the kids. I appropriated all the candy bars to save her (and them) from having to eat them themselves.

Also, the Gerber Puff bags were a big hit across all ages.*

Same. I didn't even see anyone out in the hood when I took the dog outside.

I've seen kids around here, so it's night like they don't exist. Just going elsewhere to get their candy, I guess.

What we've become is contrary to what we want

We went through six bags. Started around 4:15 and ended before 7:00*

We bought 8 bags at Costco. Handed it all out, and was giving one piece of candy to each kid.

Trick or Treating is wild in my hood.

I have a fuck ton of candy left over

I bought a couple huge bags a month ago, but didn't realize till I opened them yesterday morning that half of the candy inside wasn't fun sie, it ws minis. I'm not gonna be the asshole that only gives out minis, so I made a quick run to Walmart who thankfully still had plenty of stuff available.

Then as ToTing got going I noticed people were just passing by my house even with my porch light on. I started wondering if there was something on my house making people think I wasn't participating but nope. Eventually my neighbor came by with her kid and I mentioned it and she said it might be cuz I didn't have any cars in my driveway so folks might think no one is home. I've never had that issue before so I opened up my garage door and either that halped or as rhe night got darker people could see my lights on inside.

So yeah, I've got a lot left over. And that's after I let my neighbor's kid and her friends take as much as they wanted when they got back home at the end of the night

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

The youngest, now a freshman in HS, asked me to drive him and his friends over to a party after ToT.

He characterized it as a few people at his friend's house.

The number of kids milling around tripped my spidey sense about the whole thing, so instead of dropping them off, I parked and stuck around.

From 8:30 to 9, the group of kids milling around grew to a large crowd mobbing one particular house.

I called him and his buddies back to the car and we left just as the police were showing up.

we had *2* groups - one at 8:23 pm - the other 2 minutes after... have 1 entire unopened bag of

candy left and about 30% of the one bag we did open.

not a great walking neighborhood (no sidewalks) but we generally have 10-15 groups

With a late rush we got rid of about 80% of what we had.

Being in a new neighborhood we didn't know what to expect. We used to buy a lot and I would take the leftovers to work, but can't do that anymore.

Ooo
