Well... You could always just wrap yourself in saran wrap, get some metal coat hangars and string to dangle some colored ping pong balls from, and go trick or treating in your neighborhood, but I'm pretty sure your neighbors will look at you funny if you do that.... They might call the cops too.... Or maybe some gentlemen in white coats who come bearing "I Love Me!" Jackets... Just saying... :P

Nor will attackable enemies spawn randomly from doors you knock on, and even if they did you wouldn't gain experience, items or new superpowers by defeating them. :p

I would, but that's because some small part of me wants a giant pumpkin headed monster to trample through town for giggles while I'm roasting marshmellows over the smoldering ruins...

I must miss Red side or something(it was a safe and legal way to vent rage, after all...)... :o

Yeah, every time I was ToTing with a villain and I got the message that was prelude to a reward, I felt it inappropriate: "You have been nice!"  Surely for a villain that should announce a penalty instead of a reward.

I'm reminiscing about the temp Costume powers; e.g. getting to look like a Storm Shaman or a Freak Show boss, etc. at will for a couple of weeks, while telling jokes with friends and SGmates while knocking on doors.  Yeah, Halloween CoH-style was awesome!

Make that 47 years old and replace "Trick-or-Treat" with "laying waste to a number of supernatural beasties with weapons that are prohibited by the Geneva Protocol", not to mention changing "pathetic" to "awesome" and that's me as well.  October was always my favorite month for CoH.  Sigh.

Alright, a question for real world Treat or Treating:  do you have any suggestions for non-mainstream, candies for me to pass out?  You know, something the kids can't just get from the supermarket or the local bodega's candy rack. 

I'd prefer it to come in small, prepackaged potions, of course.  Like, I don't want to have to spend a day manually filling (crack) baggies with spoonfuls of loose bits that parents will automatically toss out anyway.  It also needs to be relatively cheap on a per unit basis.  Like, I wouldn't mind spending $25 for something really interesting, but I don't want to drop $25 on a box that only has 25 candies in it.  There needs to be enough to provide me with sufficient inventory for the night.

I used to buy boxes of Tomoe Ame rice candy for my sons when they were little.  They are not sugary sweet, and the 'cellophane' looking wrapper is actually rice paper that melts in your mouth. (The boys used to delight in popping a candy into their mouths and having folks say, "You forgot to take the wrapper off!!!!!!) There is also a little toy inside, or used to be.




Here is the website of a great company that deals with unique candies...

Sandy Candy

Healthier stuff:
Welch's also makes some GREAT fruit gummies and fruit rollups in little packages, and they are tasty. Also, yogurt covered raisins, apple chips, and don't forget trail mix.

Interesting candy...I'll have to try some if I run into any.

I remember Pop rocks, air heads as one of the funnier candies I tasted.

I've had those; not bad, but the rice wrapping paper kind of dulls some of the flavour
