Which type of person are you (Read details)

I only buy what I like so I can eat the left overs.

I buy what I like which is usually what the kids like too. I’ve been left with lots of it this year.

I buy for myself. No one comes to my door anyway. I bought 3.6 kilograms of chocolate covered almonds for $42

Both, we make sure we have plenty to give out and eat. We don’t buy it until the day or two before and the last kid…wins a jackpot if there are leftovers.

I do not buy candy for “halloween”.

I plan to get stuff I don’t like, but I cave at the last minute and get stuff I’ll enjoy gorging on.

@ragingloli Well, it’s really just a holiday for us bloody colonials that Europeans expropriated, isn’t it?

I buy what other people I know like, or sometimes what I like. I generally eat very little candy.

No candy! NONE! Keep it all far away from me!

Only 3 pounds to go…

^^ I’ve got lots left…...

Have you ever noticed that virtually all Halloween candy is chocolate? I always buy alternative treats for children who might be allergic to chocolate or simply don’t like the stuff. (Yes, there are people on this earth who dislike chocolate!)

I get snack-sized bags of pretzels or packs of Twizzlers, Skittles, vanilla Tootsie Rolls, candy corn, and Gummi-anything. Even the chocolate-lovers enjoy a change of pace.

I don’t have a sweet-tooth, so I’m not tempted by any leftovers.

I get very little chocolate. Some little Snickers bars but otherwise caramels, Starburst, wrapped hard candies…....

Neither. I buy what my family likes, so the leftovers will be used up. Naturally I used to take them to work. Now it’s all up to my husband and sons. I don’t care for any of it.

Our number of visitors varies from year to year, from a scant dozen to a max of 60. I never know how much candy I’ll need, so I invariably buy extra.

I have not had a kid come by my place in ten years, so I don’t buy any to have on hand.

But when I did, I chose what I liked, because the kids got their own from trick-or-treating.

And that ghastly candy corn never crossed my threshold.

We have had close to 200 this year so far

I bought both.

Mini chocolate bars like Snickers and Twix, which is what I like best. Plus a big bag of Milk Duds, Twizzlers, etc.

The little monsters (and princesses, and ponies, and Iron Men, and Wonder Women, etc.) took ALL the candy.

Bastards.

I do not buy candy at Halloween.

I go trick-or-treating.

Yes, I’m in my 30s and I carry my own loot bag. Fight me.

I got the kind I like for my co-workers and had 2 pieces. The rest were scarfed down before lunchtime. Snickers, hershey bars, Krackle, and peanut M&Ms.

Halloween was over by the time I got home.

I’m the kind of person that allows my significant other to buy the kind of candy I like, along with those I am not particularly fond of so I can hand out the latter and still have the former for myself after the holiday rush.

None. Halloween isn’t a popular celebration in my country. I don’t like candy anyway.

I gey whatever is cheap. Candy is candy.

I don’t even bother turning my lights on. My place isn’t real noticeable from the road, and even if it were no one really comes to my neighborhood anyway. Most of this town is dark on Halloween. They’re all Jesus-y here and Halloween opens the door for Satan.

I buy what I like, which is assorted mini candy bars.

We hardly have any kids come to our door any more. When they do, it’s an interesting study in temperament. Some kids pick only 1 piece of candy, choosing carefully from the options. Others just grab by the handful.
Interestingly enough, the kids who only take 1 almost always said “Thank you.”
The kids who grabbed greedily almost never said, “Thank you.”

we had a 1.27” rain yesterday evening. Ghosts and goblins were in short supply so now even though I handed out candy by the handful I have this shitpile of Smarties and Assorted Chocolate bars left. We need a post Halloween holiday to dispose of the leftovers…. before I do it myself. I guess I could look for some child welfare group to donate to but I don’t think they would take open bags.

Give it all to a business office.

^^ Yes, we used to take left overs in to work.

I tend to buy the stuff I like so that if it doesn’t all go Halloween night, I’m not stuck with a bowl of sugary waste. I also try to only buy enough for Halloween night.

And the number of kids coming to the door are getting fewer and farther between.

Noticed that myself. But it drizzled off and on and we have a 7 30 PM curfew on Halloween so that probably contributed to it.

Curfew? on Halloween?

@Muad_Dib Yes. Ours is at 8. It sets a time for the trick or treating to stop.

Never heard of such a thing!

We have a very lax curfew in germany. Any youth that gets caught outside after 20:00 gets shot on sight.
Should be 18:00.

^^ We just let out the werewolves and be done with it.

That’s insanity.

Think it’s aimed more at trickkers than at the treaters. Cant have roaming teens out egging cars and papering houses ‘till 2 in the AM.

@NomoreY_A That’s right. And I see no problem with limiting trick or treating hours as the person who is answering the door. It’s never been an issue in my town that there is a curfew.

Because the teens who are going out to vandalise are really going to adhere to set trick-or-treat hours…

Nope but the popo’s do and the kids know it. A few hours raising cain on Halloween isn’t worth getting hauled in by police and dealing with mom and pop when they get get hit with fines and court costs. As my brother and I discovered to our sorrow many years ago. Lol

@janbb Around here, if we’re done with trick or treaters, we just turn off our porch light and don’t answer the door. I don’t need a city curfew to help with that.

^^ That’s fine. This is certainly not anything I feel the need to argue with anyone about. It is what it is.

And as my old pappy used to say, you can’t fight City Hall.

Your old pappy was a talkative fellow, wasn’t he?

He forgot the last part of that quote:
”.. without sustained mortar fire.”

@ janbb- more likely I make a lot of it up… ; )

^^ That thought has occurred to me.

Lol – well, either that or pappy wasn’t all there, but he made sense at times. Which is disturbing somehow.

NOBODY HAS HAD AN OLD PAPPY IN 200 YEARS!!!

I think maybe the bloodhound in Lady and the Tramp was the last one I’ve heard of.

@Dutchess – Well, 100 years anyways. @janbb- never saw that one. I was more into that very unique Senor Zorro.
