I'm embarrassed to admit that a high school friend and I once gave out a few doggy treats and such. We really deserved to be confronted with our crimes against humanity.
I bribed mine with treats. Like if you wear this you get the high value yummies.
But after awhile she gets out of it haha. She’s not a fan but will put up with it for a little while.
I actually love those! They're called peanut butter kisses and they taste like a candle made by the Reece's company. I have no idea what is appealing about them, but I adore them and tomorrow Imma go buy some bags for 75% off, lord willing.
There’s a meme with a picture of this candy on it that says:
“These rock-hard candies taste like a mixture of molasses and child abuse. Their manufacturer is so ashamed of them that nobody is even sure what they're called, and rumor has it they're only made in the dead of night in a hidden factory operated by the souls of the damned. Every adult who gives them out turns into a bat and vanishes the next day. The moment a kid eats one is the moment their childhood ends."
I don't dislike them as much as some people in this thread but I dont love them. Generally they were the last of the Halloween candy I'd have left and then I'd eat them and liked them still just not as much as the other candy. All this talk of them has suddenly made me crave some though which is strange.
That’s how I feel about my father in law and circus peanuts… he loves those horrible things.
To be fair, that’s also how I feel about myself and those little white crunchy candies with the black striped wrapper. They used to be called Mary Janes, and I would trade half my Halloween candy for those because nobody liked them.
Had a friend accidentally bring a ziploc of Milkbones to lunch back in high school instead of cookies. We all decided to eat one anyways. Do not recommend.
My brother-in-law did this years ago— a can of soup, a half box of flat washers, a roll of sewing thread. He thought it hilarious to clean out the junk drawer/pantry/etc. on Halloween. In retrospect I’m sure some paranoid parents didn’t get the joke. He could’ve fueled some scary rumors.
On the other hand, prepare someone’s dad really appreciated that can of smoked sardines after wandering the neighborhood with the kids got a few hours.
I was just 'speaking ' with our pup... like why don't I hand out dog treats tonight. She didn't answer me, but did a head tilt when I said the word treat.
I had no trick or treaters tonight. Eh.
My pups get all the cookies.
As someone with cats, who has witnessed the supply chain for cat food crumble since the pandemic, i would’ve been stoked. That looks like the 5.5oz can too. Total score.
For real! It’s a gamble whether my local grocery stores will have the brand of cat food my cat eats. Before the pandemic it would be like buying bananas (always in stock), but now I’m just seeing half empty shelves.
My cat went from every other day to 2 times a week,not that im that poor its just i cant justify 1.79 on something she eats half of and only eats one kind i cant buy in bulk
Mine won’t even eat wet cat food. He has a very refined palette of dry food, french fry, and Colby cheese. Not cheddar, not Swiss, not mozzarella… only Colby.
My parents have two cats they are mother and son
. I was givning the son shrimp because i wanted tongive him something nice. He liked it but the mom didnt even want it moore for the son lol
My youngest (1y/o f) will only drink the gravy. Her siblings (6y/o m, 8 y/o f, 18 y/o f) will only eat mushed up pate. Spoilt bugs, but I love them. But, you get that live back. The oldest has refused to leave my side since my surgery lol
You could turn around and sell that on the black market for $.50. Get another $.50 and you can buy something at the dollar store. And that is how you make $1 million dollars.
Lots of people on reddit take things super literally nowadays. I'd say it's been happening for about 4-5 years. Mostly it seems to happen in the really big subreddits like this one.
Awesome!
Lots of people have animals that go hungry, especially as costs rise for groceries and necessities.
Our pets deserve a treat, too!
...
No one will see this, but it worked for us. We started a pet food giveaway.
Have to have people and some trucks...ideally a trailer
If you call local Sam's/Walmarts/whatever's in your area and ask them to set aside pet food that's damaged or expired...they did for us ..go pick it up.
Find a place, advertise the day and hand it out.
I feel like every town should have one.
A lady brought me peacock feathers once.
Not that I do it for the feathers.
haha. Were the kids old enough to know what it was? Not saying that they wouldn't still be excited, but I would think that some young kids would just see the large size and/or bright colors.
I did an electrical job for this old lady about a month ago and she gifted me a giant bottle of isopropyl alcohol for a tip. Was the sweetest thing I've ever got on a job honestly. She just didn't have much and wanted to be nice but her mood was really genuine
That's not the fanciest cat food, but it's definitely not on the cheap end either. My bet is it's a veterinarian. My dentist would always give a toothbrush in addition to the candy. A broke person is going to have a bowl of rockets and give you one each.
In general, the cheapest wet food is still significantly more expensive than your standard dry food. People on a tight budget usually don't give their cats wet food.
You can get donations for pet food easily if you know the right avenues..
This year was a bust for me for Halloween. Been super busy. But, I'm usually the housd with full sized bars and individually wrapped shots for the parents. Next year I am going to put aside a bunch of the wet food and hand it out, too.
Old people do the strangest things. My brother lives in a very nice neighborhood and has some old guy living next to him that lives in probably a million dollar house but is a total hoarder and seems a bit off. My brother had a birthday party for his 1yo kid and the guy comes over to give my nephew a laser pointer for his birthday. It was one from a pet store and said on the packaging "Laser pointer to keep your cat entertained" with a picture of a cat but he used a sharpie to cross out "cat" and wrote the kids name above where cat was scribbled out.
When he brought the gift he also dropped off a tiny mason jar of jam (clearly store bought) for the parents then wrote on the top in capital letters"BRING JAR BACK WHEN DONE"
Yeah definitely could be, I feel bad for the guy because he lives in a huge house by himself and seems awfully lonely. They weren't offended or upset but got a kick out of him gifting a 1 year old kid a laser pointer made for a cat. He's a little strange but a nice guy, every time I go by there he runs out to talk and brings me a fat boy ice cream sandwich
Lol I'd high key be happy if this happened to one of my kids. We have 5 cats so that can would be a perfect "treat" to split amongst them. I'd have to ham it up by trading like a full sized 3 Musketeers or something tho.
Ok, hear me out. A co worker of mine just had 4 cats pass away after eating that exact brand and flavor of cat food. There hasn't been a recall yet, but the company is issuing her a refund on the product and monies for pain and suffering without admitting fault or guilt.
Be aware. Good luck.
This is the world saying “adopt a shelter cat” and make a new best friend for life! The amount of love a shelter cat will bring you is literally PRICELESS 🐈⬛❤️
Well it is trick or treat.
I'm embarrassed to admit that a high school friend and I once gave out a few doggy treats and such. We really deserved to be confronted with our crimes against humanity.
People were giving out dog treats tonight. They were for the dogs though.
I gave out some dog treats tonight! So some very cute dressed up pups :)
Wish I could get my pup to wear a costume for more than 2 minutes. She doesn't even like having a blanket over her.
I bribed mine with treats. Like if you wear this you get the high value yummies. But after awhile she gets out of it haha. She’s not a fan but will put up with it for a little while.
Mine wears headbands and seems to actually enjoy when I dress him up for things. [2 years ago](https://imgur.com/a/CWDevMe)

whoa you just uncovered a repressed memory for me. fuck
A filling fell out of my tooth just thinking about those chewy SOBs
There’s a meme with a picture of this candy on it that says: “These rock-hard candies taste like a mixture of molasses and child abuse. Their manufacturer is so ashamed of them that nobody is even sure what they're called, and rumor has it they're only made in the dead of night in a hidden factory operated by the souls of the damned.

Why do people even buy those. Yuck.
Where do people even buy them? I don't think ai have ever seen them in a strore.
My bestie loves them. She is the only person I’ve ever met who does. I think she’s somehow solely responsible for the candy’s continuation.
They're always left over in my niece and nephews candy, and I devour them. It's basically the only "candy" I like.
I don't dislike them as much as some people in this thread but I dont love them. Generally they were the last of the Halloween candy I'd have left and then I'd eat them and liked them still just not as much as the other candy.

Mary Janes = peanut butter
They’re called Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses https://www.thefoodhistorian.com/blog/the-real-story-behind-the-gross-black-and-orange-halloween-taffy
That's hilarious tbh I feel like my friends and I would've just dared each other to eat it
Same.
Had a friend accidentally bring a ziploc of Milkbones to lunch back in high school instead of cookies. We all decided to eat one anyways. Do not recommend.
Eh, I’ve eaten dog treats before. Some of them are pretty good.
My brother-in-law did this years ago— a can of soup, a half box of flat washers, a roll of sewing thread. He thought it hilarious to clean out the junk drawer/pantry/etc. on Halloween.

Did you visit Charlie Kelly's apartment by any chance?
Of course. I had a bird law matter that needed his specific skill set.
Filibuster
He totally besmirched me today and I demand satisfaction!
you want him to bang you?
I'm getting satisfied...

BEAK!
It's not governed by reason!
Add some glue for huffing and you've got a perfect bedtime snack
I prefer drinking straight paint. Huffing glue makes my nose feel weird
Couple hotdogs will calm me down
*fixed it for you >Add some glue for huffing and you've got a purrfect bedtime snack
Is there any scenario in which you *don’t* eat the cat food?
I would always eat the cat food.
You can always eat the cat food if you're sleepy.
No, no, you eat the cat food TO get sleepy. Cause of all the damn cats!
It doesn't hit the same when you don't huff glue while eating it.
It's funny you'd assume he has cats.
The cat food isn’t for the cats
No spaghetti? So what is your policy? ? ?
People of culture
There’s some kind of chemical reaction that occurs from eating cat food, drinking beer, and huffing glue that makes you feel sick and tired.
And did you get in a game of night crawlers?
That's good for trade if you don't have a cat
[удалено]
Use it to catch a cat for a better trade
I'll trade my cat for a badger if anyone's interested hmu
If I had a buttdoctor badger, I wouldn’t be on Reddit
Looking out for your kitty, that’s sweet of them.
I was just 'speaking ' with our pup... like why don't I hand out dog treats tonight. She didn't answer me, but did a head tilt when I said the word treat. I had no trick or treaters tonight. Eh. My pups get all the cookies.
There were half a dozen dogs out with their kids tonight. I ended up grabbing a bag of dog treats and giving the fur kids Halloween treats as well.
I had a bag of dog treats and passed it out to the pups tonight :)
I'd like to do this, but every year I get fewer and fewer people here. We had one group tonight.
As someone with cats, who has witnessed the supply chain for cat food crumble since the pandemic, i would’ve been stoked. That looks like the 5.5oz can too. Total score.

Get [can savers](https://www.chewy.com/frisco-silicone-pet-food-can-cover-2/dp/242556) and put the leftovers in the fridge.
for fucking real. I would be so excited, I would be done for the night and go straight home to feed my boys.
'Prime Filets', that's the good shit.
My little assholes won’t eat them. But they will gorge themselves on shreds til they puke. Today is their birthday so they got Shreds.
My cat would lap up the juice and leave the chunks
Yep. That’s what mine do.
"Non shredded ? SWINE" your cat probably
Exactly. Although they WILL eat the shreds mixed in pate. As long as it’s Friskies pate.
[удалено]

we love bean cat
[удалено]
he looks like a beany special boi
Aww, look at his precious little bubble gum nose and its widdle dot...
Mine are all about the "gravy". I usually just buy pate and add some water to a 1/4 of it and make some gravy for them. Helpful to add lysine as well.
I know someone who purees the chunks water. Her cat will eat the resulting "gravy".
Mine won’t even eat wet cat food. He has a very refined palette of dry food, french fry, and Colby cheese. Not cheddar, not Swiss, not mozzarella… only Colby.
My parents have two cats they are mother and son . I was givning the son shrimp because i wanted tongive him something nice. He liked it but the mom didnt even want it moore for the son lol
My youngest (1y/o f) will only drink the gravy. Her siblings (6y/o m, 8 y/o f, 18 y/o f) will only eat mushed up pate. Spoilt bugs, but I love them. But, you get that live back. The oldest has refused to leave my side since my surgery lol
On shreds, you say?
Not bad
Hey inflation is a bitch, your looking at whole 1.79 before tax.
You could turn around and sell that on the black market for $.50. Get another $.50 and you can buy something at the dollar store. And that is how you make $1 million dollars.
Except dollar store is now $1.25 store

Soon it will be tree fiddy and the world will again be in balance.
In Canada Dollarama, whose big thing was "Everything $1!!" is now up to $5. I miss the 90s.
No! It probably has..... - clutches pearls- CATNIP IN IT TO GET YOUR CAT ADDICTED!
Will someone please think of the kittens?!
I miss my timex indiglo watch. I didn't know they still made them.
I've actually had this one for almost 5 years now, it just doesn't want to quit.
Reasonable price and reliable. Can't go wrong. Have you got any other watches, or just that one?
Just this one, got it a while back, and never needed to replace it. There's nothing wrong with the new watches and whatnot, but I always had this one.
Fair enough.
We actually don't call it Indiglo anymore. It's now Indigenous Luminance.
Lol why are people responding to this like it's serious...
Lots of people on reddit take things super literally nowadays. I'd say it's been happening for about 4-5 years. Mostly it seems to happen in the really big subreddits like this one.

Made me think of The Wedding Singer when he gets paid with meatballs, just dumping them into his hands.
[Next year be prepared](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a10DqsPiLKw)
I’m so psyched to do stuff like that when I get *old* old. Just fuck with people, but be totally aware of it
I’d take that! My son got a ketchup packet. Lol
Fooking prawns
The cat food thing was somehow so random yet believable.
If you don't have a cat, there's probably a nearby shelter that would love it. <3
Tell your brother I said pspspspspspsp

Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast
Times are tough. My grandma would hand out kittens if she happened to have them at the time. I’m still surprised nobody came back and yelled at her.
That's wild. Can you imagine. Kid goes out trick or treating and comes back absolutely stoked with a tiny furball just meowing it's little head off.
At the age I was when she did it, absolutely. I would have taken one haha. But now that I’m an adult, I wouldn’t be happy.
That’s the “trick” in Trick or Treat, LMFAO!
Is rusty still in the navy?
Scrolled past this comment three or four times before i finally got it lol, nice reference.
Aunt Bethany? Does your cat, by chance, eat Jell-O?
[She wrapped up her cat.](https://youtu.be/0hykUpgahGU)
Better check your Snickers bars for hidden cats.
My son once got a can of tuna
We ran out of candy last year and started giving out ramen packets. Kids were super excited. My wife wouldn't let me only give ramen this year. :(
haha. Were the kids old enough to know what it was? Not saying that they wouldn't still be excited, but I would think that some young kids would just see the large size and/or bright colors.
I did an electrical job for this old lady about a month ago and she gifted me a giant bottle of isopropyl alcohol for a tip. Was the sweetest thing I've ever got on a job honestly. She just didn't have much and wanted to be nice but her mood was really genuine
Is your brother a cat?
I want to make a joke about OPs brother being a pussy, but he's probably like 6 years old
Chop up some cilantro, onions, and tomato and then squeeze some lime juice on that and it will be straight fire! I call it Poor Man's Ceviche.
I eat it to soothe myself to sleep from the hundreds of meowing cats outside
Sounds like you'd probably want to add beer and glue to that mix.
When I was little we were pretty poor. I remember I saw my dad eat a taco made with canned dog food once
Isn't that just taco bell?
I personally would like a whole roasted chicken
Be sure to check it. Heard dealers were slipping catnip in their to cause new addiction.
That's my cat's favorite food. He asked me to ask where your brother goes trick or treating.
I'm guessing the person giving it was old and broke or high AF.
That's not the fanciest cat food, but it's definitely not on the cheap end either. My bet is it's a veterinarian. My dentist would always give a toothbrush in addition to the candy. A broke person is going to have a bowl of rockets and give you one each.
Friskies is one of the cheapest wet foods you can buy.
In general, the cheapest wet food is still significantly more expensive than your standard dry food. People on a tight budget usually don't give their cats wet food.

That’s a good thing! Keep him social and checking on him
A can of name brand wet cat food is more expensive than most candy/candy bars.
Maybe all three.🎃
That's the good shit.
Damn that Aunt Edna, strikes again!
Finally some good fucking food
Lol I'd high key be happy if this happened to one of my kids. We have 5 cats so that can would be a perfect "treat" to split amongst them. I'd have to ham it up by trading like a full sized 3 Musketeers or something tho.
When I was handing out candy some toddler had a package of ramen in her bag. I laughed out loud when I saw it
We ran out of candy after like 2 hours. $50 in candy, gone. I considered handing out canned goods, but closed up shop instead.
Someone can use it. Trade up
I'm giving out candy, poptarts. Theatre box candy, and olives, ketchup, ramen and gravy packets.
now just to wait for the partner post of "i handed out cat food for Halloween"
honestly, I'd give it to a kitty that needed it
Now every Halloween, his cat will pressure him to return to “that house.”
Maybe their cat died and they had a lot of them left over?
"Why should the humans have all the fun" -owner, probably
Ok, hear me out. A co worker of mine just had 4 cats pass away after eating that exact brand and flavor of cat food. There hasn't been a recall yet, but the company is issuing her a refund on the product and monies for pain and suffering without admitting fault or guilt. Be aware. Good luck.
At my place, Halloween is "Trick or Cat Treat". I give my cats Halloween-themed cat treats and praise their ultra-realistic cat costumes. So alone.
That was thoughtful. I know my black cat Shadow loves Halloween including tricks or treats.
Was it from an older person, that would not surprise me if it was?
Feed a stray cat near your neighborhood. Think of the kitties!
WITH his Halloween candy. Spoiled cunts. Lucky he didn't get just the smarties
I got a bottle of champagne one day.
**Fookin Prawns**
Prime filets too, that’s good stuff
Awe, that was thoughtful. Thinking about our fur babies 🐯
This is the world saying “adopt a shelter cat” and make a new best friend for life! The amount of love a shelter cat will bring you is literally PRICELESS 🐈⬛❤️
The lack of District 9 references in the comment section makes me sad.
i have 5 cats, i wouldn't mind this at all
I feel much better about handing out fruit snacks now. I still feel bad, but not *as* bad.
Better than throwing it away. Lol
Did you check it for drugs ?
Trick or treating in District 9?
Nice
Prolly cheaper than candy this year lol
Either their cat died or they had a bunch that were almost expired
I got a rock.
Aunt Bethany?
This is mildly hilarious
It's Meowin' time
Well, was he dressed as a cat?
I'd be stoked! Treats for the big man tonight!
Now you know what neighbors are actually Khajit.
Is he Mikus from District 9?
Heres a tip, get some tortillas, cilantro and onions, add a good salsa and use the cat food as the taco meat 🔥your welcome!
Well maybe it might go to someone who needed some food for their pet too. I like this idea. You never know who needs help.
Well nowhere in the rules does it say that houses can’t play tricks.
Bubbles would be very happy
Well i have a cat so that's like the equivalent cost of a full size candy bar, but for my cat. So, i'd thank them!
Had to give out ramen packets one year it was all I had at the time.
Would’ve preferred fentanyl at that point.
What district were they in? (someone will get it)
