When I was a kid, we used to go out on Halloween with pillow cases to collect all the candy. There were lots of wealthy homes near us who gave out some huge amounts of stuff, like a 50pack of chiclets or large bags of twizzlers and nibs, and some houses even gave out a handful of loonies to each kid.
We would do one big round of the neighbourhood hitting up the biggest houses and once we knew who was giving out the best stuff, we would go home and swap costumes and go back out. So some years we would end the night off with 2 or 3 pillow cases of candy and it would have been enough to last a full year. But of course it never did.
My mom just told me that after Halloween was done and we went to sleep, each night her and my Dad would sneak into our rooms and grab a bunch of candy from our stash. My Dad would take it to work and give it all away to his co workers.
I feel violated
