The Morning After

In case you were curious, that yellow thing next to Huck's foot is an "Emergency Preparedness" brochure that someone handed out instead of candy. This made me wonder how companies could possibly have missed the amazing marketing opportunity of the trick or treat bag.

The trick-or-treat bag marketing is actually a really good one... Let's see how many businesses make a band wagon to jump on when they figure it out.

I remember trick or treating back in the day and receiving a few non-candy, marketing items such as:

-- A booklet with a cartoon that basically said you were a sinner going to hell
-- Bumper sticker and button for a Presidential candidate

They quickly got tossed, and we of course vowed to never return to a house that did not distribute the proper Halloween currency--candy.

Very cool jammies!

I can see it now, we'll be sitting around telling our grandchildren..."back in my day, we got candy wrappers with no sponsorships on them for Halloween."
