Would you give out 2L bottles of soda for Halloween?

:bee:

why or why not?

 

[fords8]

Maybe, but only to the parents walking the kids around. It's way too heavy for kids. JMO

 

[jschwemi]

Maybe to the teenagers at the end of the night. Otherwise no matter what the age its too heavy to carry around for a long time

 

[ennui]

Nope.

Too heavy for little kids.

Too tempting for older kids to shake up, then spray everyone & everything with sticky soda.

 

[velviita]

If some of the parents have a wagon/stroller for the little kids you can pass them out to them. But I agree would be a pain for them to carry around.

Aren't you in an apartment?

 

[CharlieQ]

That's my plan. :lol:

 

[kmjlovesjesus]

I was going to give them out--and my family said NO--that it is way to heavy for the kids to carry around. So--we decided the same as what others posted--if a family has a wagon then we will--if I know the child (older) then I will--or will say come back--I have this here for you---but I will not be handing it out to little ones.
I never thought of the shaking up and spraying people or things---

 

[revwife1]

Same thoughts as everyone else; too heavy.

 

[skincarekathy]

Why, when you could sell them?

 

[Swale2010]

Same as everybody else...If a parent had a wagon. Teenagers, no way...because they would definately shake it up....

Why wouldn't you donate to a local food pantry than at least you can write it off as a donation on your taxes. That is what we did.

Because only so many pantries can take so much. :giggles:

 

[frugalcook]

We don't give our kids soda. Why would I give it to someone else's kids?
And yeah, too heavy and teenagers would do mischief with it.

 

[NannyMcCheapy]

No, but I'm wondering if they will be as happy this year with Betty Crocker potatoes as they were last year with the hot cocoa and fruit snacks...lol

 

[eiramnoaj]

Thought I'd bump this for kg.

townhouse with lots of kids in the neighborhood. We might move out by Halloween though; not sure right now.

Me? I have donated some, and could donate the rest. I won't write off the pop, because I personally feel it's unethical to write off something on my income taxes I didn't actually use my taxable income to acquire (since catalinas are not taxable income). Plus we claim other 100 percent legitimate charitable contributions on our taxes and I don't want to have a high enough amount of write-offs that we get flagged by the IRS for audit :girl:

 

[mrsred1]

I'm buying black cups and will give out Sunkist. I don't give my kids pop either but on Halloween, **** it. I mean, they're gonna be loaded up on sugar anyways...

 

[0coupon0]

Wait...your pouring soda in cups and handing it out to kids? If so are we talking known kids or all kids?
