After seeing how badly some trick-or-treaters behave, taking the whole bowl of candy, this was definitely uplifting. Someone raised these kids right.

I left a bowl out with a sign saying help yourself. When I got home it was late and the bowl was half full.

A few late stragglers turned up around 9pm as I was packing up. I told them to empty the bowl, but I had to repeatedly assure them it was okay. Most kids do the right thing.

I had about 200 trick-or-treaters of all ages, and I was surprised how well behaved they were. But I was supervising the handouts, so I don't doubt a few of them would have dug deep if I hadn't been there. But yes, most are good.

Hey, this bowl's full of candy corn and black licorice!

Ah yes. Black Licorice, the candy that can inadvertently kill you if you eat a lot of it.

Yep. Great for people with low blood pressure, in moderation. If you've already got high blood pressure, stay away from that nasty stuff.

As a Scandinavian I've never heard of that. Appearently you have to eat more than 50g per day over a week, which is quite a lot.

50g???
That must be the weight of one of the toxic components of it. Cause I have eaten more than 100 of salt sild or tyrkisk pepper several days in a raw before

You eat 100g licorice per day for a week? If you do, you may be in danger.

NHI:

>Å spise mer enn 50 gram svart lakris om dagen i minst to uker, kan føre til potensielt alvorlige helseproblemer - som økt blodtrykk og uregelmessig hjerterytme.

There are very few cases of this happening, and you're at risk probably only if you do this over time and/or are older than 50.

It should be illegal for websites to show 40 second ads and then just show a loading icon on the actual video you want to watch. It's fraud.

Someone added a dum dum to my empty candy bowl when I went outside to replace it. I couldn't decide if it was a friendly or a malicious act.

My SO says this is staged.

This is equally likely to be scripted as the vid of the kid emptying the candy bowl into his bag.
