For those that are curious, it is a cone full of candies and treats
WTF, mine only had school supplies. I feel robbed 30 years ago.
edibles
Well done
not only candies. Often there are also shool supplies and gifts (i got an ugly puppet)
How does the puppet feel when you call it that?
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
Wow congrats
We just gave our kids candies but the cone was like 8 inch long max.
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.
We don't have that tradition so I get chills at the month of hyperactivity and bad teeth I can imagine. Especially if that cone is 100% candy.
often the lower half is almost empty (especcially with premade ones because money) because they throw in packages rather than individual candies and they get stuck halfway in. I think its also often that they insert stuff very unsorted so it seems more filled than it is (for bragging)
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.
And candy isn't broccoli, either.
greta reference and also very true
Wow who’s eating all that? It’s a huge amount.
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
