you know, if parents these days weren't to paranoid to accept anything other than sealed candy bars, i would totally pass out caramel onions.

If you used cocktail onions with toothpick swords in them, the little buggers just might try and eat one.

well, that'd be the plan.
hmm, maybe hand out real candy apples, but have one in every five actually be an onion instead.

So what are you planning for this year's counter-intuitively unhealthy scaremony? I'm planning on leaving on my porch a table, an empty bowl, and a sign that says "Please take only as much as much can fit in one scoop!" Normally I'd celebrate traditionally, but you know, as I clearly implied, kids need to lose weight anyway.
I'd be thrilled to learn if any of the twenty people who visit this forum still go trick-or-treating.
Not going trick-or-treating, but I went to a halloween party yesterday night. I dressed as a hipster: velvet jacket, tight black pants and shirt, stupid political button, trendy fedora, and of course, thick glasses. Unfortunately many people pointed out that I could dress like that any time of year and it wouldn't be a costume, so later in the night after I'd had a few, I put on some black facepaint and did myself up like vaudeville blackface for "irony".

I'm more amazed at the fact that he's going to make candied onions by using caramel. GENIUS! Let the transmutation begin, alchemist.
Erm ... those are toffees. Cos I made Toffee Onions.

I don't believe in cops, bosses, or politicians. Some call that anarchism, I call it having a :palm:ing heart that beats! I do believe in freedom and never giving up. Call my methods madness or call them luck. I do what I got to, to feel able to breathe! And if you quit your job well, you can do a little breathing with me.

Using caramel we call them Caramel apple  The red ones with the hard candy over them we call Candy apple. That in the USA or in my case, the west coast of the USA.

As kids we knew the different apples were called different things but we just called both of them candy apples. My Mom would ask me which one did I want and I would say, 'The cinnamon one' or 'The red one'. Those were my favorite. I had lost a tooth in a caramel apple once and never wanted to eat another.

lawl. I went to a house party as a Crusader. It was such a bad  costume that everyone's camera broke as they took a photo. Hence, no photos! However, there are 2 that were taken before the party but after a lot of drinking...

Ah, the Hospitallers. Truly the most stylish of Orders. Snazzy uniforms, nice mediterranean holiday resorts, and all the state-backed piracy they could want.
