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.

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

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

[–] braindead_hottie@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Good luck fitting one of those in a fucking pillowcase

Cathode ray tubes? Someone help out a non-American

[–] phar@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am an american and I came in to ask the same thing

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s critical race theory.

Ha, I just assumed it was an intentional typo for HRT

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the kid eats it and suddenly realizes there's a 60 lb block of glass and high voltage electronics in his stomach. Real sick shit.

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Don't you know, the Golden Girls were woke!

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

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

The smallest ones do fit into some big candy wrappers

[–] TheMuffinMan@piefed.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 14 hours ago

Especially a Trinitron.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

My Gamecube would love it.

God damn Trinitrons. Get your own tree fiddy.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

That would be a big fucking piece of candy to fit a crt monitor

GIVE

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.

in the other gif, bernie is trying to scare a hamburger

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That eagle missed a chance to make an epic gif.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

That's funny

[–] xylol@leminal.space 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You only get the bare tube

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tbf, not as bad as getting raisins or a toothbrush.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Chick tracts!

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Liars! They keep promising cool stuff in Halloween candy, but all I ever get is candy!! >:(

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah where are all the drugs I was promised!
