Just so you know, trick-or-treaters these days are taught to not accept or eat items that aren't individually wrapped. Who knew that child poisoners were so good for the corporate candy business!

Recycled? How about reused. Just steal a box from work.

Halloween stickers. Reasonably cheap, the kids love them, vegan-appropriate, you won't get fat, parents won't think you are trying to poison their kids, and the leftover ones last from year to year. Halloween pencils are great, too. Maybe you could find recycled ones.

Frangos. Buy a box. One candy per goblin. Eat the rest.

>I suppose you could squirt some into plastic baggies with "Chain lube: DO NOT EAT" written with a sharpie. awesome. Fails on the 'minimal effort' qualification, though. I also love the software idea - maybe I could burn the Firefox 2.0 installer onto some CDs... Oh, I mean IE7 of course.

The price of the stuff is... (you could really use an edit button here)

Something "Seattle" that you could use yourself... Cups of coffee? Likely underappreciated by the younger kids, plus they would get cold too soon. Software products? Handing out bootlegged copies of Vista would certainly be a hit, if you have the right sources. Smoked salmon? Nah. Chain lube? Now we're on to something. Every kid has a bike, right? The stuff is a bit over candy, but not much. I suppose you could squirt some into plastic baggies with "Chain lube: DO NOT EAT" written with a sharpie.
