Drink some settle-down juice.

Dude, I'm an economist. Being an asshole is in our DNA.

my conscience is a bit lighter than last year

I plan to give out Pokemon cards.... a bunch of the worthless common cards that you get in bulk from opening packs... but the kids will probably dig it.

Give them the unopened bags instead so kids will get some excitement in true Halloween fashion

Have you tried getting your hands on sealed product lately? It's basically impossible unless you're welling to shell out 300% markups to the scalpers.

Aah ok I don’t know anything about Pokemon cards.

I would then give them some other unopened collectible crap cards from the supermarket. It’s about the excitement of opening the bag.

Or load up some corn on a wallet and give them “mysterious 12 words”..

yeah pokemon card market is absolutely ridiculous right now. basically impossible to buy at MSRP unless you know the restock timing at retailers.

mysterious 12 words is a nice idea, i wonder if anyone has tried it here.

I’ve noticed more people also giving out cheap worthless crap. Kids do seem to enjoy it and at least it’s not poison.
