I am amazed.
Our house has gotten a rep, and we get a lot of trick or treaters.
We put the goodies in a small pirate chest and tell the kids to take
two things. Usually the chest is full of those half sized candy bars,
packages of microwave popcorn, instant mulled cider, and hot cocoa,
with a couple of bags of lollipops or pixie stix tossed in for color.
This year DH tossed in a case of chicken ramen just to see...
The take it home and have it hot things are always very popular, but
gosh!
This year we gave out over 80 packages of microwave popcorn, I had to
raid the pantry to see if we had any on the shelves! We also got
flattened so far as the hot drink mixes, and all the ramen noodles are
gone!
The most popular candy was the Harry Potter Blood Lollipops, all the
kids knew what those were on sight. I still have a few left though.
I have chocolate left!
Food (such as it is) flew out the door, and the candy got left behind!
Maybe next year we should add in some muffin mixes or those tubes of
soup mix.

Or you could try some canned broccoli, cauliflower, or brussels
sprouts and see how far they go... 8^P

Oh please that kind of stuff winds up as mathoms even at the food
pantries!
It does not begin to compare to being able to go home and bake
blueberry muffins! Humph
I did find out talking to the fella next door that because of money
they have closed the soup kitchen on weekends. When school is out that
becomes the lunchroom for a lot of kids. Which might explain some of
the packets of ramen.
I was joking about the muffins and soup mix, but if things stay bad
maybe it would be a notion...

Hmmm....Good question.
Let us find out.
It is just one of those words like "grok" or "muggle" that filled a
niche lacking in english, and just became part of our standard house
parlance.
