What's the coolest thing you ever got from Trick-or-Treating?

[StacyS]

One family, down the street from us, would save all of the prizes out of cereal boxes, and hand those out as treats on Halloween. Great for the neighborhood kids, but I always felt so bad for the kids that lived there! I would imagine watching those prizes disappear everytime the box of cereal came home from the grocery store. :crying:

A friend of mine always got a toothbrush and toothpaste from a neighbor.

Lovemyfaith:

We had an beloved older man (a widower in fact who I don’t believe was blessed with children of his own) in the neighborhood who took pictures of every kid in the neighborhood (think rowhouses in the 70’s so we are talking a lot of kids) in groups of 7 or 8 at a time, every Halloween He had a full candy rack to let us pick out what we wanted, plus every kid got a quarter. There would be lines of kids waiting to get in, and a few of the older kids would help him out. He had the photo books out on the sofa to look through past years as you waited. He was quite a guy, and to this day that is one of my most treasured childhood memories.

The pedophile sirens in my head are going off. I hope he was really just a nice old man, though.
