At our home, we are massive Halloween enthusiasts, embodying the spirit of the season much like two endearing characters from a classic sitcom. Every October, we splurge a bit too much on treats, all in the name of community fun. As self-proclaimed Halloween aficionados, it’s only right to share some cautionary advice with fellow homeowners about the types of treats to avoid giving the neighborhood children.
While not every household can afford to be the one dishing out king-sized candy bars, we all can avoid becoming the laughing stock of the neighborhood by steering clear of these 13 dreadful treats. Think of them as unsightly stains on an otherwise pristine costume!
1. Cow Tales
Let’s be honest, these look like a bad idea gone wrong. Their flavor isn’t any better; it’s like a sweaty sock.
2. Butterscotch
Oh, butterscotch candies, you’re the ultimate sign of outdated tastes—perfect for grandmas but not for trick-or-treaters.
3. Fruit Snacks
This is Halloween, not a lunch box! Save the fruit snacks for school lunches, please. Organic treats don’t earn you any brownie points either.
4. Good and Plenty
These resemble Pepto-Bismol in candy form. If it looks like medicine, it doesn’t belong in a Halloween bag.
5. Jujubes
Just one word: yuck.
6. McDonald’s Halloween Coupons
Sending kids home with homework? Come on! Hand out some real candy instead.
7. Necco Wafers
No one wants to munch on what tastes like colored chalk. If it resembles medicine, leave it on the shelf.
8. Peanut Butter Kisses
Seriously, would you eat this? Plus, they’re a nightmare for those with allergies.
9. Pennies
Why not just make kids pay for their own candy? They’d rather have anything but your pennies.
10. Raisins
It’s one night a year—let the kids enjoy themselves!
11. Toothbrushes
Seriously, what are you thinking? Just don’t.
12. Tootsie Pops
You went for the cheapest option, didn’t you? Invest in some quality treats!
13. Whoppers
Chocolate-covered sand? No thanks!
