The Kids Halloween Candy Code

By Miss Cellania in Food & Drinks on Oct 30, 2008 at 10:05 pm



Kids helping each other out on Halloween can put a chalk mark at the bottom of the driveway to let later trick-or-treaters know what to expect. The pictured symbols mean “Dentist”, “Werther’s Originals”, and “Reeces Pieces”! I’m afraid I’ll go from “miserly portions” to “out of candy, now giving out sauce packets from Taco Bell.” Link -via a comment at YesButNoButYes

    It's like those hobo signs that tell other hobos what to expect in certain areas.

    Well, aren't they doing pretty similar job that day? :)

    It *is* the hobo signs- someone thought it would be funny to make up kid-hobo signs and they ran with it. It's not real (for those that were actually thinking that...)

    These *are* kids, after all- no time to chalk, time to get candy!

    I would have said Bear Trap, Shepherd, and Telephone.

    I see Don Draper teaching young Bobby these symbols in a future Mad Men episode.
