Are parents still going to escort their Halloween-ers door-to-door for the usual Trick-or-treats, knocking on doors to houses of whom they have not the slightest idea of what contagion might lurk inside, then, take food, albeit wrapped candy products, from their hands (?!)

AND are homeowners still going to open their doors to such unknown folks for close contact?

It's an intelligence test, Murph. Right up there with the Turing test for all too many.

Well of course! Why wouldn’t you if you got the Ouchy? You’re protected so what’s the worry? Unless maybe it’s all the mis and disinformation floating around that’s causing you to have cold feet. Relax Murph, Ouchy says your good and your forum friends say your good and Joey the Dunce says your good. So quit cowering in lock down and bring some joy to a little rug rats life by giving him a snickers bar when he knocks on your door and says trick or treat.

Snickers bars are a Halloween No no. They have peanuts.

I think that falls into the parents checking the candy category.

Check and see where it was made. So much comes from China .

Yeah........peanut allergy thing.........another great evolutionary adaptation in action.

Which one evolved wrong? Peanuts or people?

robert. wrote:Which one evolved wrong? Peanuts or people?

Wrong? Neither. It just is.

One might argue that people in general are failing to evolve.

We don’t get tricker treaters where we are however I could never imagine while buying treats that little Johnny maybe allergic to this or that. If your kid doesn’t know he or she is allergic to peanuts than they probably should not be out unattended on Halloween night. Unfortunately I guess we’ve reached a point where there should be an aptitude test for those pondering reproduction.

My kid is deathly allergic to cashews. They’ll drop her like a rock. She knows to tell people. Halloween, Christmas parties, picnics and Chinese food. Every since age four she has told people.

I think they just distribute things from there. Same with Hersey. I don’t think they make anything in PA.

A quick google search says. Made in Waco Texas. With holiday candy made overseas. I drove by their Jersey plant saturday.

Hersey has 2 plants in PA.
