For those that are curious, it is a cone full of candies and treats

not only candies. Often there are also shool supplies and gifts (i got an ugly puppet)

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We just gave our kids candies but the cone was like 8 inch long max.

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

These seem self-made, which I also did. Probably using like A3 or A2 cardboard.
It's a nice thing and you just buffer these things up however or leave them partially empty, they're closed anyway.

The size gives you more canvas for decoration.

How does the puppet feel when you call it that?

[–] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 7 points 1 week ago

dont know, im not a puppet whisperer
But she still got included when playinf with figures
She often got powerful characters because of the size difference to cars and lego and playmobil and whatever else

[–] Waterpumpee@lemmus.org 18 points 1 week ago

Thinking back, trading that cone for 12+ years of a joy in life was a bad deal. It's a trap.

Hey you wanna those candies? Just gotta go into that building and sit still for 8 hours just to sit still at home for some more.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And candy isn't broccoli, either.

[–] flyingSock@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

greta reference and also very true

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

WTF, mine only had school supplies. I feel robbed 30 years ago.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wow who’s eating all that? It’s a huge amount.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

When my kids went it was a small cone of loose candies. And addition of DoubleSalt Licorice in the old days.

Somebody mentioned there are now toys or other packaged items inside. And a lot of empty space due to she ahrink - flation. Large cone, less stuff.

That's like a fifth of what we caught every year during carnival parades
