Thanks for the Treat
We hear harrowing conspiracy theories about strangers tampering with children’s Halloween candy each year, but we seldom hear about the innocent, peculiar treats. One person recalls receiving one of the most unusual treats as a child, which has still stuck with them. While out trick-or-treating, a rather eccentric lady handed them a crumpled wad of tin foil.
The sheer curiosity got the better of them, leading to the immediate unwrapping of this enigmatic gift at the very next house. Instead of finding eerie trinkets or sinister surprises, they discovered an odd assortment of sugar cubes and coconut shavings. What on earth could this gesture possibly mean? Did the woman momentarily forget it was Halloween and hastily concoct these “treats” as a last-minute resort? In retrospect, she might have been better off not distributing anything.
