What's the most unusual thing you remember having got when trick-or-treating?

I once got unwrapped bulk candy corn, which my parents made me throw out, and another time a stick of lip balm. Why gives out lip balm on Halloween?

Would you believe 3 apples? Slightly rotten?

Into the garbage with them...

I think that getting apples was once common, actually, but then there was a certain scare in like the 1980s with razor blades andpoison, and after that, pretty much any Halloween goodies were packaged.

The weirdest thing?
A bottle of lube.

That's what I get for trick-or-treating at the Halfway house. (Halfway house is a mini-insanity ward in our city.)
And to clarify, this was my last time trick-or-treating as I had turned 18 and was forced over to door watching.

Lucky. I got forced over at 13!

I don't actually sit at the door, though. Good thing, last year, as literally nobody showed up.

I was five.

I was given 3 packs of condoms (baby stoppers) when I was twelve... they were loose.

Ummmm, you know, I don't remember.

I don't think I got any strange things when I went out.

I never got forced to door duty, but I tended to like it and I often did it after returning home from trick-or-treating. I ran out of costume ideas after a while (my last year, I went as a soccer player of all things), so I decided to just stop trick-or-treating after age 13.

Probably apples. They went straight into the trash not so much because of any scares or anything, but... they were APPLES. My mother always had (and still has) a fruit basket in the kitchen with APPLES. Why do we need more apples?

Paulguy's Post configuration
I don't think I've ever gotten anything especially weird aside from maybe some obscure candy brands (Probably from dollar store or somewhere similarly cheap.). And I guess I got a pastry once, but by the time I got home it was all crushed and nasty, so I just threw it out.

Yeah, my candy stashes were usually normal. Maybe an apple or two, but that's about it.

I'd say my candy stashes were normal as well.

After grade 6 I just stopped trick-or-treating completely. I think around that same time, we got our first computer. Hmm...

I actually got note cards one year.

Unlike most kids, I put them to good use with making card games that meant nothing to anyone except me. That was kinda my thing back then. I would make a lot of games and design them and everything, but had no one to play them with so I couldn't ever test them out.

I've made a few board games myself

One of them was basically a whole bunch of "Go forward 3", "Go back 8", "Roll again", etc. and you had to do all of it until you hit "Lose a turn", so turns became weird and unwieldy. Another was more balanced, it had a science-fiction theme and some spaces would move you, but you'd just end your turn there, and other spaces would have you draw a card for points (positive or negative). Still totally luck-based
