Halloween--giving out Hershey's Kisses?
Options
My mom has apparently been inspired by my brother's recent weight loss so she decided to send me home with three bags of Hershey's Kisses. She said I could give them out at Halloween.
On the drive home, it occurred to me that they don't look very safe as individual kisses as the wrappers aren't sealed. I have a feeling that the children's parents would make them throw these out.
Thoughts?
(And I have no problems hanging onto the candy--I think Hershey's Kisses are a miserable excuse for chocolate so I'm not tempted in the least.)

I don't think sane people would throw them out, but it's kind of crappy to give out months-old candy.0

It's 3 sealed bags of Kisses. I doubt what I would buy in the store would be any fresher. Do you plan on driving to the Hershey plant and getting them fresh off the line? :huh:
But thanks for letting me know that some parents might not immediately chuck them when the kids returned home.0 -
/shrug I always ate my kisses that was in my trick or treat bag lol...0
-
I always thought that, too. But I think most parents would let their kids eat them.0

I wouldn't allow my kids to eat them, because they could be tampered with. But if it came from a friend that would be fine. I'm just over careful.0

I don't think I ever got hershey kisses in my trick or treat bag, but if I did, I probably wouldn't eat them. You could donate the sealed bags to like a church or something. I doubt they would chuck them out because churches usually have their own halloween stuff going on, and if the bags are sealed, they obviously haven't been tampered with, so the kisses inside would be fine because I don't think their preacher would want to poison the kids. haha! Just a thought if you are super worried about it.0

I let my kids eat them. and they are all still alive and healthy0

nothing to do with freshness but sickos putting needles or other crazy **** into the childs candy and resealing.
i would probably make my kids toss them, you could always donate them to a shelter0 -
My kids only trick or treated to neighbors that we know so I'd be fine with it.0

Same here.... The horror!0 -
I'll be honest, We chuck anything that isn't sealed. Tootsie Rolls, Lollipops, Sugar Daddies, etc... Anything that is twisted shut, gets chucked. Way too many crazies in the world to shrug that off. Maybe if I knew my neighbors a little better, but seeing as how we're in an apartment complex and people come and go, that's a little difficult. But for me, My kids would chuck.0

i give out real kisses
hahahaha jk0 -
Do those of you fretting about poisoned candy, needles, etc. realize that there has never been a documented case of anything like that actually occurring. (Not that someone won't decide to do it at some point)0
-
I wasn't allowed to eat anything that was wrapped like that after I brought home trick or treat candies. I wouldn't let my child eat them either, unless I knew who they were from.0

Make a bunch of Peanut Butter Kiss cookies and donate them to local shelters and kitchens.0
-
My mom would say they had needles or something like that in them. You should put them in the freezer and wait till christmas and make those cookies with the kiss in the middle then give them as gifts.0

Has there ever been an instance of tainted Halloween candy? Or is it some stupid urban legend?0
-
anything could be tampered with- if someone wanted to inject something into candy they could do it with any type of wrapper. If you live in a safe area I'm sure no one would be that over-protective.0

hyperfang in st. louis a few years ago someone put a razor blade inside an apple they gave out for Halloween and the kid was eating it and got their mouth all cut up. Also last year some kid had to be hospitalized from some candy that was contaminated with some chemicals (they were sure if it was on purpose)0
