You need to vape them for the full experience, unadulterated by solid toxins.
A sign that said “lots of kids are allergic to nuts, it would be really nice if you’d have some nut-free stuff to give out, here are a few ideas” would have been a request that I would have totally accommodated. But what they actually posted made me want to have a special basket of razor blade filled carrot sticks just for parents. You can get what you want without making an entire neighborhood/internet hate you.
Okay, if I had gotten that either when I was a kid or in the years my kid still wanted to go trick or treating, I’d love it…
That’s just evil and wrong dude.
Caramel popcorn? what’s going on in that picture?
Also, I always feel totally food-inadequate when you post the wonderful things you cook! 
why yes! It’s what my poor ass fam always used to give out. I know noone is likely to take them, but damnit, I can have fun too.
I think people do this now, though, handing out books for halloween… all hallow’s read? Here is Neil Gaiman explaining it:
I love you, man!
The sensitivity often is due to the parents rather than the actual allergic child.
One of my kids spent her first three years of school in a class with a boy who had that sort of mother. We were informed that no one in the family who might enter the classroom to drop off or pick up our child could eat anything for breakfast or lunch with any type of peanut, tree nut, soy, or corn in it, nor could any lunch or snack in the classroom have any of those ingredients. After three years, the school finally convinced the family that the special school 2 blocks away was a better fit (which it was: the child had severe learning challenges, etc.). Can you imagine entire families being told they had to change their diet? In our case, my child preferred bringing dinner leftovers for lunch instead of a sandwich, so all three meals for us were affected by this family. Meanwhile, he’d go out to the school playground and touch equipment that had been touched by children in other classrooms eating PB&Js for lunch. I believe the kid had allergies, and the peanut one in particular is crucial to honor, but the rest of it was the mom, not the kid.
One of my students says he’s gonna do this. I shook my head and rolled my eyes, and told him that kids are taught never to eat home made good/candy. He told me, “Not in my neighborhood.”
Oh, my.
I’m just going to add that since I read all 212 posts, I’m now going out to get some Warheads (apologies to my pacifist friends) to go along with the American Smarties that my husband and I unironically purchased when we bought all the chocolate nutty crap to give out.
Happy Halloween to all!
Here’s how another parent handled a similar situation.
This is a much better way to handle this situation. This dad is a winner!
Sounds like the carrot is the stick.
Dairy is a very real allergy, one of the most common, in my experience both as a certified food manager and a parent of a child with the allergy. Gluten is a bunch of BS.None of that would (or did) influence what kind of candy I would hand out though. Check your own kid’s candy.
Tongue in cheek trolling. I actually do love the pink necco wafers (which my 4 year old calls “the chalk candies”). I don’t know who loves the “chocolate” ones, but apparently enough people do that they make “only chocolate” necco rolls… Ick.
Unless you really do have coeliac disease.
But there a lot of alternatives that have been suggested here that are far better than the one from the article.
