Most things get better as you age them: wine, cheese, pheasant - which is better after it has hung for a few weeks and gone all maggoty. Yoda took centuries to properly age. The 70s got better after they aged for awhile - everyone thought they were pretty cheesy right after they happened but look how cool a groovy 70s shirt looks now or a Starsky and Hutch lunch box? Anyway, you could probably eat Halloween candy from an Egyptian tomb and it would be okay, the stuff is everlasting.

I still dress up for Halloween! \n(I don't go trick or treating, but I do take my children) Every year I have a different costume, from something simple to really elegant to scary - it's just a lot of fun & I plan to do it as long as I enjoy it! (( enjoy your tapes - I think you're cool! ))

No. They are not edible, nor will they rot or decay. Therefore no expiration date is needed. Condoms on the otherhand WILL deteriorate, thus needing an expiration date.

I had some live jam in my fridge, all covered in grey-green fuzz. \nI threw it away before someone got the chance to accidentally ingest it.

There should be a 'best before' date on it somewhere, so check it out carefully. If there isn't you can e-mail the producer, give the product number and they will tell you if it has expired or not. That said, whey protein lasts a pretty long time. Was it unopened, or had it been partially used? If it was sealed, it might still be good, but if it had been opened it's been subject to oxidation, and might be a little rancid. It's hard to say, really, without knowing it's condition, but do check for that 'best before' number, because it should be on it somewhere.

So, sounds like teacher wants a recipe for a "fun Halloween" that appeals to all the senses .... so, sight (maybe scary decorations), sound (maybe scary noises), taste (sweet candy?), smell (the burning candle in the jack'o'lanterns, maybe), feel (maybe something like that silly game where you put your hand in a bowl of peeled grapes and someone tells you they are eyeballs!)\n\nI think what the teacher is looking for is just a "recipe" of different Halloween-y type things that you might assemble for a fun Halloween party, and describe different things at your party and how they would appeal to each sense.

I'm assuming it's dry powder form. In that case it should last a long time, because bacteria and funguses need moisture to live. Is there an expiry date on the package?\n\nAnyway, if you're suspicious about whether it's spoiled, be careful. If it's spoiled it could give you a belly ache.

its getting more and more in germany. i think one ponit is that in many parts of germany is bank holiday on nov1, so many clubs and bars do a halloween special. The days before halloween they show millions of the us halloween movies at german tv, so its no more so "strange" for the people here. This year i saw first time kids going for sweets  "trock or treat" but i fear they dont earn that much... for this its a lack of traditional, especially because on nov10/11 its st.martin in germany, this day the kids go from house to house and sing for sweets.

That depends entirely upon what type of answer you are looking for. For many people in the United States, it is just a holiday for people to buy candy and distribute it to the children who dress up as their favorite ghoul, hero or otherwise.\n\nFor others, it is known as All Hallow's Eve. This is a day in which supernatural energies are at their most and sightings of demons, ghosts and other supernatural beings increase. Spells cast upon this day are supposed to never fail as long as the heart of the one casting it has intentions of good.\n\nIt also started as a way to keep demons out in another country. People would put treats onto their doorsteps to ward off the demons and those that did not offer the treats would be subject to the tricks of the demon. Trick or treat....

I still want to know what atheist candy tastes like.  Uh-oh, now I'm starting to sound dirty.  I'm just kidding, atheist candy.  Or am I.  ;)\n\nMJ Flowergirl:  You need reality.  Seriously.

What guy? Do you know him? Eat it if you do, throw away if you don't. Nothing more you should do. You are not going out or doing anything else with someone just because of a candy. If there are other things involved, such as feelings, it is another story.

I doubt it will go bad.  Yes you just use sewing thread and a needle.  You can also mix it up with some cranberries for some color too.  I used to do this as a child and was thinking of doing it again this year.

I AM SO HAPPY YOU ASKED THIS QUESTION!!\n\nDuring the cold seasons, especially in late fall, it is usually best not to eat sweets, choclate etc. IF YOU DO, its okay, just as soon as you do go and brush your teeth and use mouth wash. Its all about keeping your mouth clean, and somehow, sweets contaminate them, so, it's easier to just steer clear of the sweets. Unfortunately, its what the school nurse tells everyone. great. just great.
