Kids liked it. Moms liked it. Gave some candy along with it.
Nobody gonna remember the fun sized snickers guy but they will remember the potato house.

Samwise would have been an appropriate costume for handing them out.

Like, cooked? Or a just a potato? Both are fine, just trying to understand!

I gave out razor blades. Not like hidden in the candy. I said 'hey kids, razor blades!' and then I threw the blades in the air and the kids tried to catch them. The kids who didn't bleed out loved it and I think they'll always remember me as the razor blade house guy.

We do the same but with loaded guns.

How nice! Kids would have a lot of fun shooting water at each other

We did this last year and were super surprised how many kids picked a potato over candy. They definitely got a kick out of it.

They already have infinite candy in their bucket, but they still have a potato-shaped void in their souls.

Is this a trend? A guy in my writing meetup said he was going to do this, but I'd be a bit surprised if he was on Lemmy.

I saw a post a year or two ago talking about it -on reddit I think - so may have spread out from there

At this rate potates will eclipse candy as the most popular trick or treating food by 2035

7-8 years ago I was handing out candy at a friend's house while they took their kids out. 3 boys in zoot suits with suitcases instead of bags showed up and asked for potatoes.
I gave them each one from the pantry and they went nuts. When my friends returned with the kids, they told me they'd overheard the kids talking up the potato house.
I know it's unlikely, but part of me wants to be responsible for the trend.

Because of the snap thing some folks have been giving ramen noodles and canned goods and such as an additional option in my area.
