Yes, Whoppers aren't very popular at our house, either... we ended up with a huge pile that the trick-or-treaters wouldn't take.
Except for the Whoppers, those were solid choices.
Yeah, I noticed that when "fun" became a synonym for "small," some of the magic goes out of the holiday.
At one point, Peter's little plastic pumpkin was stuffed full of potato chip bags, and I asked him whether I could have one in order to make more room, and then I sort of kept going, without asking so much anymore. I started off grabbing candies that I knew I could replace from the stash of candy that we bought in order to give away, but then I had to start grabbing quickly and thus got a little less discriminatory, so that if my fingers just happened to close around a Snickers bar, well, I'd better take it quickly or the kids might start worrying.
I remember once as a kid (I was 3 or 4, since I remember it happening in our old house) somehow I ended up with a candy bar called Bit-O-Honey, which was so awful I put it outside on the picnic tables for the bugs to eat. They didn't touch it.
Good question and an honest confession, but did you pick randomly, rummage for your favorites or select items that you knew were not their favorites? :) What did Carolyn and Peter dress as this year? We got about 80 trick-or-treaters tonight. We were giving out Little Debbie Oatmeal cream pies which most kids seemed to appreciate since it was something different and bigger than some of the "fun size" treats they got at other houses. A few kids declined when they saw what we were handing out (all were very polite about it and said thanks anyway except for one girl who just spun on her heel and left) which surprised me since (1) it was free (2) you could always try to trade it later on with a friend or sibling for something you like better and (3) I remember trading treats as part of the fun of Halloween.
