Raisins for Halloween! RAISINS??!?!?!
Raisins!
Boxes of raisins you know the red box with the girl on it, Sunsweet raisins or whatever the brand is called. I was looking at an old vintage ad for raisins suggesting that "This Halloween give out boxes of delicious Sunsweet raisins, the kids will love love love you" ...you get the picture. Anyway I REMEMBER some sick puppies actually doing this, giving out little boxes of raisins to trick or treaters. So kids are coming home with huge bags full of mostly candy...and BOXES OF RAISINS. And I swear to God none of those raisins were ever eaten by anyone, they were left alone while the chocolate was consumed and the bubblegum chewed. They would go stale and eventually would get chucked. Anyone remember this? Is it just me because I'm a fogey?

I remember getting raisins for halloween. It was doubly disappionting as I absolutely HATE raisins. I made me want to inflict greivious bodily harm to them. And it was usualy old people from what I recall.
*EDIT*- 'them' being the people who gave them, not the raisins themselves...

I remember one Halloween when people handed out FRUIT. I came home with three apples and an orange.
Travesty.

FRUIT! FRUIT?
that's a terrible thing to give a kid on Halloween. that's wrong! Bags of homemade chocolate chip cookies = okay. Fruit = time for a little discussion.

You know, this is a topic close to my heart, because, as you all know Halloween/Samhain is *dons Elvis voice* vury special to me.
Fruit, and raisins are techinally a form of fruit, for Halloween is an abomination. It used to piss me off to no end. Heh...remember when your parents used to insist on checking every piece of candy you got because of the stupid "Satanic Panic" shit. Haw! Now it's standard because there are people like you guys giving out candy to little kids.:D

Yes, I've gotten the box of raisins before. Tiny, bite sized boxes of the little fuckers. I've also gotten the apples & oranges. The one that really fucked my shit up was a toothbrush. If I went trick-or-treating at the dentist office, fine. I understand why he would do that. To be a regular person, though, and give a kid a toothbrush for Halloween? That's fucking nuts!
Oh, and the one place that used to give out mini christian pamphlets. I think they were also a raising house. They didn't get many kids after a year or two.
