San Francisco Parents Find Piece Of Candy In Child’s Bucket Of Needles

Expiration date of Halloween candy? Never been a problem.

I used to have a colleague at work that allowed his two kids to keep 5 pieces of candy each out of their Halloween stash and then brought the rest to give away at the office. I always that was so mean.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Eat it all. Fast. Help the kids avoid sugar, tantrums, cavities.

Like the dems said throughout the 80’s and 90’s.....

Do it, for the children.

Now they just do it, to the children.

Leftover Halloween candy? Never heard of such a thing. Fake news.

What is this leftover candy you speak of?

[dp0622]

Like I have any leftover halloween candy you know me :)

[Still Thinking]

‘Repurpose’ != ‘Eat’??

[Fai Mao]

Which candies are the worst for children's health?

All of it.

[lefty-lie-spy]

I store it in my belly. I would hate it have to meet the type of person that would read this article seriously. No wonder so many young people have metal issues; it’s because of parents that look for “advice” like this.

It’s mostly a good idea, but I think I’d let them keep half and give half away.

you have full access to a range of treats that you didn’t have to pay for

And, no access to the candy you did buy. At best a break-even, unless you turn off the lights during T&T time. No wonder the national debt and out-of-control spending doesn't bother media types.

We don’t worry about excess candy. We have not had anyone trick or treating since 2005. It’s one benefit of living in the boonies.

guy a few doors down has a giant pure white Shepherd that looks like a white wolf but is as friendly as a kitten once you get past the “Big bad dog” act. she barks, raises her hackles and snarls like a junkyard dog unless you just get in her face and pet her. then she just licks your hand. most of the kids in the neighborhood know this so on Halloween this guy puts a giant glass bowl of assorted candies where the trick or treaters can see it easily and waits for the fun behind the screen door. the neighborhood kids challenge their companions to get past the dog for the candy knowing what will happen and when they won’t for fear their friends just walk right up. watched a few parents freaking out and one year someone reported it to a local officer. good thing he lived on the next block over and knows the dog too.

I hate candy. But every now and then I am confronted by a bowl or package of peanut M&Ms at some social event and all bets are off.
