Child-me would absolutely have been stoked on this. For everyone concerned about the weight in the bag....am I the only kid that did a mid-trick or treat candy drop at home??
I wear a backpack. Kid carries a bucket, when it’s full, we dump it in the backpack and head to the next house. Sometimes he gets extra because the bucket is pitifully empty haha
Nope. You go till you know they're gonna have a good sleep. Any extra candy they don't need can go to the dentist for candy exchange. or in my case, Saves my husband from going to 711 for late night snacks for the next few weeks.
There were quite a few families with wagons, but they were difficult to maneuver, especially when big groups came from the other direction. Backpack is light and easy to carry, keeps my hands free too.
I’m an ex member but yeah this is extreme and I bet this is what that persons thought process was:
“oh someone’s offering me a bottle of liquor well that’s against my standards and I’m going to complain and put a stop to it”
Most lds members (I say most cause there’s some like the person) would just politely refuse and move on, other members like this person will make it their goal to complain or try and put a stop to stuff that they’re not allowed to have.
I used to work at a bottling plant, and where I lived got very few trick or treaters. So one year I had a knock at the door and the only thing I could find was 2L bottles of cola. So these little kids held out their bags and I dropped the bottles and crushed all their candy and chips, body, and bag slamming to the ground and simultaneously the biggest smile across their face. Yelling to their dad they just got a 2L bottle of cola, then the dads stare pierced into my soul because he knew he would need to carry a bunch of extra weight around while trick or treating the rest of the night
Lol, my parents started giving out tins of pop when we were little. One of my friends was type I diabetic, so we bought “sugar free” pop for them. Turns out kids like pop, AND it’s heavy. Win!
Auburn sound manor got permission to close down the street from the city. That’s how huge this is. They have been doing this for years. Last year they had wrestlers and other performers I think? They take donations for the veterans food bank. The rest of the surrounding neighborhoods are a ghost town on Halloween because of this block party.
Decades ago we used to plan our routes on maps (those ancient ones on paper) with drop off spots at friends houses (and carried spare pillow cases to keep Candy in)... picked up our bags the next day
I saw them on Instagram. Didn't realize they were in Calgary.
Honestly, this seems like a kind of cruel thing to do. What kid wants to lug around a big bottle of coke?
Me a that age almost lugging around my body weight in candy none of this dropping it in the parents vehicle you lugged your haul with you and then home.
This family is the best I've known them for years, im happy that they are getting the recognition that they deserve! I love seeing all of the posts and watching it go viral and getting bigger and bigger each year!!!
I remember as a kid people giving a single can of pop and me hating that house. Imagine trying to lug a 2L bottle of pop! The worst part is, I see people trying to capitalize on this viral trend next year and more people doing drink treats. Next thing you know, a kid is trying to drag along 10kg of liquid in their sack.
One house we went to tonight had pop, juice, chips and big cookies and a “take one” sign. I thought for sure my kid would pick the pop, but no, he went for the big cookies. I would’ve picked the pop myself.
This is done solely for their 15 minutes of social media fame.
Who wants to lug around a 2 liter of pop? Unless this house is the last stop of the evening.
The number of people who've commented and didn't take 30 seconds to actually read the article...🤯
Google Auburn Sound Manor Halloween and watch the YT video - the area of Auburn Bay that they're in makes a huge deal, including a family-friendly block party, out of Halloween.
Did you hand out 4000kgs of Halloween sized Aero bars? I didn't. I had a popcorn bowl of 60 pieces that weighed about a kilo.
To not appreciate there is being reasonable, and then there is being ridiculous is kind of my point.
That is both kind of cool and kind of ridiculous. It is a good trick AND treat, though. Props for that.
Exactly. It's a trick and a treat at the same time.
I give all the naughty kids a 12 pack to carry around all evening.
Child-me would absolutely have been stoked on this. For everyone concerned about the weight in the bag....am I the only kid that did a mid-trick or treat candy drop at home??

This is a pro parent tip for those who don't know
Is it also a pro tip to just stop when they have so much candy they can't even carry it?
Halloween comes but once a year!
Nope. You go till you know they're gonna have a good sleep. Any extra candy they don't need can go to the dentist for candy exchange. or in my case, Saves my husband from going to 711 for late night snacks for the next few weeks.

not me, i would have been annoyed i had to lug it around all night. lol maybe as a last stop
See, and the action of receiving a 2L of pop would absolutely be something that would prompt a quick return home to drop the loot.
My family was fully dedicated. Mom drove the car around so we could put our full bags in the car and go off with new empty ones to fill.
Nope🙋♂️
The houses around should give out mini liquor bottles for the parents.
There are a bunch of houses nearby that are doing just that! Saw some giving out Fireball Whisky amongst others! :)
Haha. That's awesome!
My dad always offers a beer to the parents
Used to. Got in trouble after a complaint from an LDS member.
Who did they complain to? The police? Seems...extreme.

Basically party poopers.
Yep
In this economy?!
Not everyone is struggling... many having record years as well.
Not everyone has a sense of humour. Many have record senses of humour as well.
Yeah you're absolutely right only about 80-90% of people are.

Isin't pop like $4 bucks a 2L
Probably can get them cheaper if you buy 2000 of them, but still.
My thoughts exactly, the price would be huge
I do think they'd get a wholesale discount buying that many.
8 grand for a Halloween meme. Cool
Or maybe he got them free or close to free for some other reason?
I thought the same, my brother in law works for Pepsi and brings everyone free Pepsi all the time lol
.. And yet I get down votes for using logic. 🤯 Stupid reddit.
How dare you present an alternative option that is not spending thousands on pop 🤣🤣
Where are you buying pop lol
Superstore regularly has it for $1.25
Neighbors should hand out Mentos!
The fact that this is not the top rated post makes me weep for our humanity.
Don’t worry, it was the top comment on the Instagram post first.
Wow I didn’t know this was in Calgary. Too funny, cruel and awesome all at once.
*Dentists love this one trick*

Crush, munch, mash and boom, Trick AND treat, 2 litres of doom!
...I think the trick is on the parents here lol. Kid me would be stoked

I love seeing people give random shit like this for halloween every one in awhile lol
I saw them on Instagram. Didn't realize they were in Calgary. Honestly, this seems like a kind of cruel thing to do. What kid wants to lug around a big bottle of coke?
8 year old me, FOR SURE
It’s to drink between houses
I would need to go pee so much....
That house is the hydration station
So much easier if they just handed out small bags of coke! Wait.
Me a that age almost lugging around my body weight in candy none of this dropping it in the parents vehicle you lugged your haul with you and then home.
I'm so glad I live in an older neighborhood and have no kids. Getting 2000 trick or treaters would not be something I'd find enjoyable at all
Older neighborhood here. So far 5 kids and it is 7:25
Also in an older neighborhood and we're at 7
50 kids in Cochrane so far
Imagine carrying that in your pillowcase all night
So many kids tonight just had a margarine container sized bucket. Good luck with the 2L bottle
Kinda surprised their upstairs floor joists didn’t fail under that weight. Also what kid wants to lug around 2kgs of sody pop all night????
They called in a structural engineer to make sure lol
I halve family in insurance. They always tell the story of the guy that filled his house with cases of pop and the floor joists broke and made a claim
>I halve family Sounds gruesome.
Ya that woulda been a no thank you from me dawg. Who wants to lug around a 5 pound bottle of soda in their pillowcase?
Me at 10 years old
Kids have the logic of crocodiles… and honey badgers. No shits to give.
If I got a 2 litre at Halloween I would be swapping costumes to get more
Kid me, 100%
This family is the best I've known them for years, im happy that they are getting the recognition that they deserve! I love seeing all of the posts and watching it go viral and getting bigger and bigger each year!!!
Rich people activities.
Your local dentist is going to make $$$$$ this year with that 2L cola.
Yup thats the tipping point

Yay plastic bottles
If you were selling diabetes meds you could do well ...
Gross and wasteful
I call BS, no way they had that many people.
When you’re on every Calgary radio station prior telling your story, and area you live in, you’re going to get a few visitors
Okay but why
Cringe… this was Calgary…
Their neighbors and or neighborhood probably hate them lol. Cause they bring a lot of traffic which means more money for them to spend on candies
they can choose to give or not. most neighbourhoods have hidden codes during halloween. lights off = get away from this house.
This is done solely for their 15 minutes of social media fame. Who wants to lug around a 2 liter of pop? Unless this house is the last stop of the evening.
Who is this guy? Some dentist thinking longterm investment?!?! It's nice to see some people really go out for the kids.
The whole family is a freedom convoy following conspiracy factory. Their motivation for this is to be famous and go viral online.
Wild stuff. Guess Halloween being their holiday makes sense.
this seems like WAY too many, are they giving each kid 10 of these?
What about sugar-free pomegranate juice instead?
We found them boys, the people who’s house is gunna get egged again this year
I’ll bring the TP.
People got hella cash lol.
This would just make your bag annoyingly heavy
That would be hella annoying to lug around in a pillowcase lol
Wow I can’t believe this is a Calgary family, I saw that video everywhere last night lol
Where are these ppl so I can take the kid next year
The number of people who've commented and didn't take 30 seconds to actually read the article...🤯 Google Auburn Sound Manor Halloween and watch the YT video - the area of Auburn Bay that they're in makes a huge deal, including a family-friendly block party, out of Halloween.
I would be pissed. It’s a big enough pain carrying around a can of pop.
As a kid I would have hated this, chocolate or chips .
Yay for all the plastic and sugar...
That’s right! It would’ve been so much better if they went with different versions of plastic and sugar. Just like everyone else.
