Has this teal pumpkin shite been discussed yet



What the frick is a teal pumpkin?


If I had to guess it’s either something with gluten free, in which case i’m
Going to dump a whole box of pasta in their stupid pumpkin,

Or it has something to do with their arse-burgers. In which case i’m Going to jump out of the bushes with a chainsaw.

Used to be fun going to houses until more than half the neighborhood turns off their lights so they do not have to give out candy. Seems no one even decorates any more.


Depends on the neighborhood. My neighborhood is all in on Halloween. If you don't have minimum 4 inflatables, every bush covered in spider webs, and some sarcastic witty tombstone or other "ironic" macabre scene in your yard, people quietly but still somehow very openly judge you and your poor children.

Is this the thread where I get to act triggered over having black kids trick or treating in ‘muh neighborhood’ ?


No, this is completely off topic, but it’s never stopped you from shitposting anyway...

You didn't read OP, baw.


Doesn't change the fact I buy those shitty peanut things in the black and orange wrappers and that all of the kids look different than the ones I usually see come Halloween. I think this is a good thing. Not only will the neighborhood kids go to other popular neighborhoods to trick or treat but also reduce the number of unknowns (I hope).

Get dressed up to walk around in a parking lot getting candy out of the trunks of cars instead of going door to door?

Watered down shite. Part of the fun is going to the houses.


Part of the fun and all of the danger. That said, we live in a small gate community now and it's door to door and everybody participates (lots of kids and everybody knows one another). In the last neighborhood we lived in, it was nice but not gated and there were some rude little bastards being trucked in and when you have to dole the candy out so they don't try to take it all, it kind of ruins it.
I didn't grow up rich, but if I had said some shite like, "gimme" at Halloween, my neighbors would have beat my arse with my parents' approval.

Trunk or treat in my town is basically welfare candy.

Hmmmm...I was close then. Something started by overprotective helicopter moms who think the rest of the rational World should go out of their way in order to make sure that they’re a little special Tommy doesn’t have to deal with reality


ETAScratch that it’s because their moms are lazy and don’t want to deal with having to pick the fricking peanuts out of their candy

And then wonder why weeks later the cops show up at your door because you have been signed up for no less than 120 kiddy pron sites. Do...not....frick....with.....weaponized....autism.

There was this house down the street and the front was enclosed by a brick wall with a rod iron gate door. Every Halloween, the woman would dress up like a witch with a huge cast iron pot with punch with dry ice in it and she
would dare the brave to drink her potion and she would pass it in between the bars. It was so cool when I was a kid.

We're ruining our children's experiences to spare the feelings of adults. It's absurd.

I never understood why people care about kids from other neighborhoods coming by their houses. It’s kids getting candy, pretty damn harmless

I saw one at the store and thought "oh, it's for ovarian cancer I bet, that's cool"

Read the description and audibly said "oh for frick's sake"

Got a mean look from a lady nearby who was apparently pro-teal pumpkin

Simple – you can print out a free sign from our website to post on your door. You can also look for teal pumpkins to purchase online and at local retail shops.


This makes me want to paint a pumpkin black and give out nothing but...

It's not Halloween unless you get some candy corn. It tastes delicious exactly once a year.

Never thought about this...I guess I should just put a big sign up that says, "This is a Reese's PB Cup station...If you have a peanut allergy, you've got a decision to make. You're more than welcome here, but BYO Epi Pen. Happy Halloween."
