Unacceptable Halloween Treats!

Here's a list I put together of inacceptable Halloween Treats!

Any school supplies.

Any type of fruit. -Raisins (Using an empty box as a kazoolike instrument is kinda fun though.)

Candy Corn, Marshmallow Peeps, Circus peanuts, Mary Janes, Sugar Daddie & Babies, Boston Baked Beans, Good & Plenty, Red Hots, Malted Milk Balls, etc outdated candy that only adults like.

Candy Cigarettes (The kids may love them but most parents now a days wouldn't be too happy)

Loose pastel Peanut M&Ms from four Easters ago.

Sugar Free candies.

Cough Drops.

Fruitcake.

Cookies, brownies, fudge etc you made yourself. Just weird and probably won't keep well anyways.

Homemade caramel apples (which are actually kind of fun to throw).

Fat free snacks, like Goldfish crackers or pretzels.

Midget granola bars with no chocolate or candy in them.

Rice cakes.

Gogurt or any type of yogurt actually.

Homemade popcorn balls with bits of cat hair stuck on the side.

A pet cat, or any type of pet.

Meat on a stick with little bones in it.

Actually any type of meat.

Travel toothbrush and mini-toothpaste.

A toothbrush, period.

Tiny shampoo samples from a hotel.

Kleenex.

Flower, Plant, etc seeds.

Religious propaganda.

Cheap 8-packs of generic Chinese crayons.

Little paper bags full of dirty nickels & unwrapped gum.

Pennies.

Anything in a can.

Bouillon cubes.

A fun-sized Milky Way with a big rusty needle sticking through it or partially unwrapped.

Condiment packets. Ya know, the ones that are free from restaurants.

A non working burned CD or DVD.

To avoid any doubt, go ahead and print this out and take it with you to the store. Don't ruin a neighborhood kids holiday. He may retaliate afterward. While I under stand Trick-or Treating is giving something away - it should be appreciated as a gift, not taken for granted and judged, kids judge, its one of the things they do best.
