I remember climbing up and opening a cabinet in a built-in on top of my childhood bed. Peering inside the empty cabinet, I closed it up and climbed down. Years later, as an adult, I had the chance to visit my childhood home and was surprised to realize that the cabinet that I had remember opening actually had a false door. It was never openable.
"to keep your ice cream from getting that gross layer of freezer burn on top simply slap some cling wrap on the surface before closing up the carton and your ice cream will stay fresher longer!"

Let's see... peanut allergy. For the first couple of years, you don't need to take the kid anywhere but to relatives' houses. After a certain age, your child should be made aware of the allergy, and that's why you provide an alternate activity - perhaps host a Halloween party yourself.
It doesn't have to be all about the candy. And most carrot sticks will end up in the garbage since they are a: not prepackaged (a Halloween no-no), and b) not candy (another Halloween no-no).
If a person has a life-threatening allergy, it's always going to come down to themselves being responsible for watching their exposure. It's beyond ridiculous to demand that an entire neighborhood of partying, and likely drunk adults, accommodate your anonymous little snowflake out of the hundreds of kids over the night. Even having posted those absurd, passive-aggressive notes, Mystery Parent would be an idiot to assume that their child is not going to get nuts in their candy, so what was accomplished? The parent will still have to check and look at everything, but is also an asshole.
Chip-chip-chip-chip-cheep-cheep! Drop the bomb, man!
When facts disagree with theory, cognitive dissonance analysis says that there are four ways to respond. This is the simplest and the worst.
