@greeneyedgirl107 yay, I've been looking forward to this thread! I love your BIC countdown threads, they are always so fun to participate in and see everyone's answers!

There are 8 bonus questions and 4 days until October 1st (yes, I know it's technically already Saturday when I'm posting this, but shhh, we're going to pretend it's still Friday since I haven't gone to bed yet 😅), so I'll answer 2 each day until it's October!

Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you? Hmm, I don't think so, not that I can remember anyway. That's probably good, since I don't think I would have liked it very much! I am a sensitive soul 🙂

Craziest thing you ever received trick or treating? I can't remember ever receiving anything really out of the ordinary. I'm not sure I even know what would be considered "crazy" in this context! I'm so curious to see other people's answers 👀

It's just about that time of year again! Thank you so much for starting this thread @greeneyedgirl107 🎃👻 I look forward to your themed countdowns so much. 😄

Ooh bonus questions too? Nice!

Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you?

The only thing I can think of, is when me and my brother and sisters were kids and the Halloween costumes box came out my brother would do these jump scares with the spooky masks and try to scare us. He would just pop out around a corner etc.. and BOO! Lol 🦇

Awww @caitbird I'm glad no one's ever played any sort of Halloween prank on you. As an adult, I don't think I could take it either. 😉

I wonder if any one has gotten anything wacky in a trick or treat bag? That's a good question 👻

If you could trunk or treat with any car, what would it be? I am not a car person, but the one car I secretly love is a vintage VW Bug, which would probably be a terrible car to trunk or treat with 🤣

Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Milk chocolate all the way! But I love all chocolate really, as long as it's not too dark and bitter. 🍫

A gummy pickle. I was kinda sad when it was lime flavored instead of an actual pickle flavor 🥺
