WTF really? My parents were super anal about anything not prepackaged.
Comment on Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why

We sit on the porch and pass it out.
This year we offered candy or pickle. We went through a gallon jar of pickles!

Mine were too. And my wife is usually skeptical of strange baked goods, but a pickle straight out the jar with tongs and tissue paper can’t get much safer!

But what if someone hid a Bat’leth inside one of them?

That wouldn’t be very warrior like, but let’s ignore that. If a klingon wanted you dead, then i think something hidden in the pickle jar is the least of your concerns

Yeah, I hear that’s a thing now. People these days.

The pickle thing is weird. I also would be concerned about contamination.
Do you at least make them say “trick or treat”

A few years back, I handed out candy for friends while they took their kids around the neighborhood, and a group of kids jokingly asked for potatoes. I obliged and grabbed them each a potato from the pantry.
When my friends came back, the potato house was apparently the talk of the kids in the neighborhood.
