Yes, the title is pretty self explanatory. Halloween is coming up and I want to know what weird things you find in your trick or treat loot.

I have heard of gross foreign candies, to pops, to toothbrushes.

What was your weirdest trick or treat loot item?

Those weird foreign candies with fruit in them always weirded me out when I was younger, but I got used to them as I got older, mainly throwing them out or trading them to those who liked them. I once got a dreidel from a Jewish family though. Not terribly weird, but funny enough, haha!

Also, there was once a guy giving out these fruit drinks that were in plastic barrels one year which always sticks out in my mind, haha. Usually, that guy would give out those plastic Kool Aid bottles, but I guess that year he was out or had a different flavor in his house.

I think the strangest thing I've ever gotten was either apples or a nickle. That's right... a single nickle. There was an old lady that one year gave out a nickle to each kid. That one was really weird.

There used to be some people on my block that would give out cute little Halloween pencils and pens or things, which is great because you can't really have enough of that kind of crap as a kid. Or like little yoyos or other cheap, dumb little party favors. I always thought they were fun because you're going through all your candy and suddenly you have treasure, hah.

The strangest thing that I've ever received from trick or treating was a SODA CAN. yea. EMPTY SODA CANS. The lady giving them out wanted us to recycle the cans, even thought the can was worth a nickel, and the recycling center was about 10 miles away, and you had to get there by car.Thus, defeating the purpose of going, as the gas to go there would be more than a nickel...

One time I was Trick-or-Treating, and at one of the houses, the guy asked if my sister and I wanted a cockroach or a spider. I said spider and my sister said  cockroach. Odd thing is, I don't remember finding anything spider-related in my bucket the next day.

The spider being the weirdest, my favorite thing I ever got was one of those short soda cans that are about 2/3 the size of a normal soda can.

The weirdest thing that I got was a giant pop corn ball. Yes a giant pop corn ball. I don't know why hey we're giving them out but they weren't very good. They didn't even have butter on it! That was the weirdest thing I ever got.

 bobq: nothing really there was the one time a lady gave me an opend plastic ziploc bag with gumballs in it i went home and threw em right out 

I've personally never given candy in Halloween but once this old lady was giving out puppies

I'd have to say chips. To me its just weird to have a street with people giving out candy and then theres this one house that gives out chips.

It may not be Halloween any more, but I feel I should share this. I would get loads of candy, but never any gum. Why? Every time I get any type of gum, like my FAVORITE juicy fruit, I would figure out that it had been drugs in them! Of all things it had to be the juicy fruits! That is why I don't like them anymore. I had gotten so use to not eating them. Maybe it was because of the neighborhood I lived in...

Bluey5 :

Wow that is intense... your halloween gum was laced with drugs?

Did you find that out the hard way? or was the gum suspicious looking and then you figured it out?

and where do you live? There are always a couple crazy people who try and ruin halloween for the children, but that is over the top. I have heard of people putting razor blades in candy before though.

bobq : Yeah I know. But don't worry, I am not lying either. It's totally true! My two older brothers used to trick or treat and one time they went trick or treating with some of their friends. One of their friends had a load of juicy fruit. When they got back home, they started to destroy their candy. A few hours later, their friend collapsed on the ground. He almost overdosed! My b3rd oldest brother along with my other brother then took a wild guess that the juicy fruit had a drug in it. He was rushed to the hospital and we figured out they injected the gum with a lot of antibiotics with a needle! Ever since then, my brothers would tell me not to get the juicy fruit! they even look like drugs was put into also. There is like this x looking spot right on the side of the gum, and you can tell that the wrapper was sealed back together. I used to live in a moderately bad neighborhood. Not anymore though.

Weirdest thing I've ever gotten trick-or-treating was a pan of chicken Parmesan, and no it wasn't laced with drugs or anything, actually it tasted quite nice. We trick-or-treated into my friend's best friend so we got pasta

I got a rock.

Yeah, I went there. It was one someone's mind and somebody had to say it.
