Ah, October. The shorter nights, chillier weather, and pumpkin spice lattes all mean one thing: Halloween is upon us. If you’re a big Halloween fan, you probably have fond memories of trick-or-treating as a kid. It’s a fun tradition that many of us pass down to our kids in hopes that they make their own special Halloween memories. However, some trick-or-treat memories stick out for entirely different reasons. From unsolicited advice to weird treats from neighbors, we’ve gathered the strangest trick-or-treat stories out there on the internet, just for you.
The Onion Man
Some people don’t like to give out too much candy during Halloween for fear that they’re promoting unhealthy snacking habits. It’s a valid concern, and every homeowner has the right to give out candy at their discretion. This dad had a different, much weirder approach to trick-or-treating at his house.
Instead of candy, he gave out fresh onions. Yes, we’re talking about the beloved root vegetable. The strange thing is that this dad also had candy to give out in addition to the onions. According to our storyteller, their dad ended up giving away way more onions than actual candy. We have a feeling that he just wanted to keep all the Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids for himself.
