I think little Timmy would notice a 60lb CRT behemoth in his little plastic pumpkin......

    We used to get even worse propaganda in the 80s.

    One house would give out creationist pamphlets with comics about evolved monkeys and Christian bullshit.

    The problem was they were in the same area as one of the full sized candy bar houses, and we could never remember which was which, so they got us multiple years.

    CRT? Like the televisions? If so then yes please give me one ASAP.

    If somebody slips in the Epstein Files, then by all means.

    I’m glad pretty much every other comment interpreted CRT the way I did. Getting one of those from trick or treating would be the ultimate haul.

    I found a satanic trans-furry republican in my kids candy. It looked me in the eyes and said “eat a queer fetus for Jesus”

    Thanks J’Biden

    Maybe in the early-to-mid 2000s; people couldn’t GIVE them away!

    Nowadays, not even the most bougie neighbourhoods could afford to…

    My wife made me get rid of my triple CRT setup in the mid 2000s. I was only able to sell one of them, for way less than it was worth IMO, the rest I found a place that took them for free eventually. It was shockingly hard to get rid of them.

    I wish I still had one.

    Dude, same (well - I only had one, but yeah).

    I held off for as long as I could, but eventually went from a 15in Sony Trinitron monitor to a Dell W2405 - which at the time was actually not a bad decision, but I do wish I kept that CRT.

    My mom caught some old man trying to sneak universal healthcare in my treat bag. Damned creepy Bernie.

    It’s 2 gifs in one. Trump was near a bald eagle and got scared when it moved toward him.

    I remember my mom going through my candy looking for razor blades or whatever.

    We also had to keep our animals inside because they might be stolen for satanic rituals.

    A friend of mine lives in Vermont. He told me about a house that used to give our little black-and-white comics full of Republican-flavour Christian propaganda that were so bad he actually thought they were parody. But, yeah, fuck all that shit. If it doesn't make your spit hurt, what's the point?

    In the 70s, it just wasn't Hallowe'en if you didn't get a Chick tract in your candy haul.
