Line 64:
* In an episode of ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'', Frank runs out of candy, but starts giving out what he thinks are chocolate coins to keep the neighborhood kids from egging the house. Angry parents soon start to arrive to find out why their kids are being given condoms.
* [[WWE]] [[In Name Only|ECW]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0qxyaBrzO4 Guess what the Boogeyman gives out on Halloween.]

Line 69 ⟶ 70:
** ''FoxTrot'' also had a comic where Jason and Marcus went to each house in the neighborhood to get a sample of what they'd be giving out on Halloween so that they could avoid this. Of course, everyone gave them lame foods so that they wouldn't come back.
** While watching the [[Trope Namer]], Jason concocts a scheme were Charlie Brown would eat the rocks, get surgery for his intestines and sue the pants off the people who gave him rocks, for not telling him they weren't candy.

* Dentists:▼
** Good or nice dentists will give out toothbrushes, to the disappointment of the kids.▼
** Mean dentists will give out the best candy, eagerly rubbing their hands together at the idea of <s> torturing the kids in the dentist's chair soon</s> getting a couple thousand bucks from the kid's insurance provider for services rendered.▼
** The best dentists will open their door in full dentist garb, a scary smile, and give regular candy to those who haven't run in fear yet.▼
*** Complete with functioning power drill.▼
** ''My'' dentist always gives me sugarless candy. It's delicious.▼
* A common tactic used by fundamentalist religious types is apparently to hand out [[Chick Tracts]] to trick-or-treaters, to show them the error of participating in a Satanic ritual and show them the truth about yadda yadda yadda... Hey, why does my front door smell of eggs?▼
** Don't forget those folded over "$20's" which when opened are revealed not to be cash but "even more valuable than money" scripture verses.▼
*** The really odious fundies give those as tips at restaurants.▼
* During the 2008 election season, a woman made local news because she asked trick-or-treaters who their parents were voting for...and refused to give any candy to the kids who said, "Obama." [[Internet Counterattack|Then Anonymous struck]], and there was much rejoicing.▼
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkBE0lWeYU Here's the incident]. Can't find anything on Anonymous's response, though.▼
* A pediatrician who was offering money to the kids at her door, and asking that they give their loot to her. The newspaper however did not report if her trees/shrubbery got [[T Ped]] or not, but I have no doubt it did.▼
* Apples and popcorn balls are commonly subject to this trope because unless the giver is a trusted friend, most parents will make their children throw them away.▼
* Those incredibly flimsy spider-shaped plastic rings that are supposed to glow in the dark but don't.▼
Line 154 ⟶ 138:
* In a ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]'' episode, the babies go trick or treating and they all get candy, except for [[The Chew Toy|Daffy]]. Strangely, Daffy keeps getting sucky treats like toothbrushes and combs from the same people who gave his friends candy. But then, [[Butt Monkey|it's Daffy]].
* On ''[[Family Guy]]'', [[Cloudcuckoolander|Adam West]] gives out cornish hens.
