Honestly, in hindsight, the variability was the most fun part of Halloween. Every kid knows they could just as easily ask their parents for $10 and get a bag of candy bars, but it's ultimately the variety of what I could be getting and the unpredictability that made me excited. Was there sometimes weird shit I didn't like? Sure, but probably just as often, there was some weird shit I did like that other kids probably didn't, so I think it evens out. There were definitely kids out there who were jazzed to get black licorice, or there were some parents that were jazzed to get a small treat on the side after a night of escorting their kid(s) around since their kid(s) didn't want it.
I think giving kids weird shit on Halloween as long as it's safe, edible, and reasonably palatable is pretty cool tbh and should be encouraged. Like I still remember one house gave out little baggies of Goldfish crackers, or I think another gave out apple slices. One gave out huge sour candy strips. Like I think the best Halloween is one where there's a foundation of "regular" treats with maybe about 25% oddballs sprinkled in.
Totally.
TRICK OR treat. The candy might be bad, the porch might be scary. It was about the experience, not just shoveling in 4000 calories of your favorite candy.
Best was having an international community in your neighborhood and coming home with some weird Korean candy among the usual tootsie rolls and dumdums.
