Tuesday, October 17th, 2017
There is an easy way to become the most popular neighbor on the block, and that is to pass out the best candy on Halloween. If you already notice the same kids returning to your door for another handout of what you got, then you know what you are doing. Trick-or-treating is all about treats, so if you are passing out nickels, apples or dental floss, just keep your porchlight off and leave the little fairies and Frankenstein’s to find treats elsewhere. There is only one night a year where you get to see the eager face of freckled Pipi Longstocking or a ten-year old with a pirate’s peg-leg walking to your door in hopes of a sweet treat, don’t disappoint them with salt water taffy or candy corn. You don’t need to make or bake anything to pass out on trick-or-treat night, the experts at Mars, Nestle and Hershey have it all figured out for you. Jump in your Ford and get to the store or order from the internet, but make sure that you have the goods to pass out on Halloween night, and you aren’t the neighborhood witch. (more…)
