Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I wouldn't mind being informed, even by flyer like that, that a kid in the neighborhood has peanut allergies or whatever. I'll make the effort to have a separate hypoallergenic candy bowl. I don't need someone trying to ruin everyone else's fun though. I make an effort every year to give out the best stuff because it makes the kids happy. I don't want to see someone's reaction when I hand them carrot sticks, thank you very much.

Barely anyone in our neighborhood trick or treats anymore so if they show up they're getting a full-sized candybar as far as I'm concerned. Not sure what the dairy, nut, gluten free alternative would be to that.

This is one hell of a derail but I'm all for it if I can say gently caress rockets (smarties) those unflavoured sugar tablets. What should they taste like sir? Nothing, just like my empty chest cavity.

Wait, don't Smarties have chocolate AKA dairy and maybe gluten and contact-with-peanuts in them? :confused:

aren't Smarties (at least in Canada) certified peanut-free? Sort of like Mars Bars with the whole separate production lines. Can't help the kid if they're lactose intolerant but then if the kid is THAT lactose intolerant the gently caress

See, I'd almost be willing to believe it too except for the mention of Necco Wafers.

No one in the history of the planet has ever eaten one of those things with anything even remotely approaching enjoyment.

There's probably some weird pervert out there getting off on the thought that they'd suckered a bunch of gullible well meaning parents into feeding trick-or-treaters bottom-tier garbage candy.

That or someone made the flyer and then photographed it themselves specifically to post it online in order generate the outrage they knew it would cause from people who hate the kind of person the flyer is mocking.

The flyer isn't the problem, honestly, it's what they expect of people that's the problem. A flyer that said, instead, "Friends, just so you know, we have some children on this block who are, unfortunately, allergic to peanuts (or whatever). If you want to be kind and inclusive, have some non-peanut options available. Thanks!"

Instead, they issue a Commandment From On-High To you, The Plebeians, To Which you Shall Adhere; Amen Forever. It's a jerky way to ask people for a favor. I would hope that the people on the block have something sweet for the child but some sharp, barbed words for the parent.

Yep, since I bought my house three years ago no one comes. I see not a single child trick-or-treating. It's a sad world we live in now, friends.
I've gone from having a bowl of candy ready that first year, to having a few, full-sized loving Toblerones. If even a single, brave little poo poo comes knocking, they won't regret it.

There's
