How to Get Extra Halloween Candy According to Kids [updated]
Children are angry. You might think that free Halloween candy would be enough, but no – these school kids are showing us there is no limit to what they can do for a little extra candy.
This post is part of our Evil Week series on Lifehacker where we take a look at the dark side of goal achievement. Sometimes evil is justified, and sometimes knowing evil means knowing how to defeat it. I want more? Visit our wicked week tags page .
These kids are serious scammers. If you want to get as much candy out of your treat as possible, they recommend visiting the richest neighborhoods (great idea), changing your costume a bit and re-visiting the houses (okay, pretty nasty) and slowly stealing candy into the secret bag. Of course, if you are handing out candy this Saturday, beware of these gimmicks and don’t let these kids get the best of you. You are smarter than them. Probably.
Of course, the smartest decision was not evil at all: one child recommended going to the store and just buying a bag of sweets. It only costs a few dollars, and he understands the value of his time. Kudos, future life hacker. You know what happened.
