  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.

  WTF really? My parents were super anal about anything not prepackaged.

    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

  The pickle thing is weird. I also would be concerned about contamination.

  Do you at least make them say “trick or treat”
