I notice a country wide distributor...
I saw today that a country wide distributor is having salmonella recalls on their chocolates.

We only have like 20 kids come by most years, but it's still fun to see them. Stupid thing is my small town has it's trick-or-treat on the sat closest to Halloween. Just seems stupid that we seldom have it on the 31st.
I've already been through one bag of candy corn... need more.

The little former Phelps-Dodge smelter town of Clarkdale Arizona does it right. The town starts accepting donations of candy in late summer for those residents who can't afford to buy their own. Everyone goes hogwild decorating their houses. Lots of grownups go to extreme lengths with elaborate costumes. The fire dept barricades the town center streets against car traffic and the police are out in force making sure that the whole affair is little-kid centric. Rowdy adolescents are encouraged to go home and help hand out candy or otherwise make themselves scarce. As we are a very rural area, carloads of kids are brought in from all around. It's a grand time.

Maybe not a Mars bar, but you can get a deep fried Snickers bar at almost any county fair or carnival.

On the fried Mars bars in England, how many can one obtain for a British Pound?
My wife loves Halloween. She decorates, gets her wicked witch of the East garb on and waits for the door to rattle. This is fine, the last 2 years we lived in the STL area she sat across the street with our neighbors sipping beer. I had plans for the evening, big ones. Then I'm handed door duties. I was busy talking to you guys. Jeesh.
Hi little tyke, what a re you supposed to say? Twik ur tweet. Close enough have a snickers.
Knock, knock, hold on, Hi little goblin, I'm not a goblin I'm a ballerina, scuse me, have a Snickers.
Knock, knock. Hello little fun size treater in the baby buggy, you about 4 months old, right? You don't get any candy till you say, trick or treat. Excuse me sir, he can't talk yet. Can't talk, no teeth no candy. We are bringing him for the experience. Are you his parents, yes, my, my what big teeth you have grandma, all the better to eat Jr's candy. Hold on I have something for you, hey this is a pampers, yep, one of our grandkids, you can put it on Jr or chew on it.
Next.
And yes I'm hard on parents who bring newborns. I don't care if the parents are 12 or 13, they need to get a job if they want candy.
Halloween was fun when I was a kid, I try to make it fun for kids.
I had fun escorting my kids who were old enough to say trick or treat.
My best Halloween was when I was 11. Normally it's pretty cold the 31st. That year it was unseasonably warm. I was in a T-Shirt. I took my Little Brother with me and circled the neighborhood. That was the era of paper grocery bags. We had pretty much a half a bag. I went home and it was still early. took a bag and went over a neighbor hood and filled it over half. I took another bag and went to a neighbor hood on the other side of town. I was not paying attention to time, no watch. I knocked on a door and a lady answered in her robe and slippers. I said trick or treat. She said do you know what time it is? I said no, not expecting a test. She said after 10 PM. Go home.
I had at least 3/4 a big grocery bag full. I walked home chewing on a brown cow thinking I was rich. Mom made me share all the extras with my Brother and little Sister.
Dad bought a farm and that was my last year trick or treating. Bulls, skunks and Copperheads all were into the trick part for folks knocking on borrough doors yelling trick or treat.

Candy corn. Second only to Cheetos when it come to taste and adictiveness.
