What did the BEST houses give out on Halloween?

[Anonymous]

I remember running around the neighborhood when I was a kid and sharing tips with other kids about where the best houses were and what kind of awesomeness they were handing out.

Cans of pop! Full-size Snickers! Caramel Apples! Popcorn Balls!

Lord knows why I was enthralled by receiving a store-brand cream soda that I never drank, but that's neither here nor there.

What will make us the cool house on the block?

I liked those little packs of fake cigarettes. The only time of the year I got anything like that so it was the novelty of them more than the taste. But I loved those dumb things.

There was a really nice elderly lady on my street who hand sewed little ghosts, pumpkins and goblins. We always made sure to get to her house early so we wouldn't miss out!

That's so sweet! I'm not saying I would do something like that because, whoa lotta work, but do you think people would appreciate that kind of thing today?

Definitely full size candy bars. The guy who gave them out in our childhood neighborhood was a dentist.

We used to change costumes just to hit that house a second time.

Imagine the uproar if someone dared to give those out this year in upper NW.

Popcorn balls? Wtf? That's a small step up from raisins, but still, ew.

But definitely full-sized snickers, full-sized bags of M&M's, full size Reese's, etc. You get the picture.

Full sized chocolate pars.

Someone once gave out dollar bills - a buck per kid. Also a winning house.
