Lol! Self-serving bastard!

"Here's some candy!"

Asking for the neighbourhood children, of course.
I searched halloween candy on amazon last week and I'm fairly certain Lifesavers showed up after a little scrolling.

Getting a little candy the week before Halloween somewhere you’re only likely to visit once or twice a year and definitely won’t trick-or-treat at?

Sure.

Trick-or-treating at the mall a week before Halloween?

Come on, man.

I had no idea they stopped handing out candy at malls, but then I also haven't been to a mall on Halloween since I went as a child back in the 80s!

Seems like an odd complaint based on username...

My understanding is the big pumpkins in the bins are not great for cooking. The smaller sweet pumpkins are the way to go.

^ They suck. Stores donate the pop and they get that internet clout.

I'll be handing out raisins and molasses chews. When do the kiddies start showing up?

Old Dutch has been highly disappointing to me of late. The last three bags I've bought have been ####. Maybe I've just been unlucky but they've all been lacking flavour and almost have no spice on them of late. The last bag of sour cream and green onion was the worst bag I've opened in eons. I should've returned it but my brother ended up eating it.

Who tf has the ability to draft around 2L of pop and a bag of chips, trying too hard to look impressive.

My street with 60' lots got ~60 treaters.
Glad I took my toddler to a different street where the lots are thinner and better candy per steps.

What's with the houses that have lights on, not answering at all,
and then the houses where I see treaters walking out of, that have lights off??

Just down around the corner from me.
