Didn't trick or treat so I don't know how that translated IRL but I can't really see it ever becoming something that you see a lot of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935559 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 22:08:08 +0000 78h2o 1935559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't see any and didn't put one out either...even though I always give a choice of toy or candy and would like to be as sensitive to allergies as possible. I'd heard of the teal pumpkin project, but ran out of time to paint one. I will do it next year. I think it's a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935550 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:56:12 +0000 BandDmommy 1935550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was 1 that we saw but we only went to about 10 houses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935543 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:48:24 +0000 Mrs. D 1935543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ope, but I didn't know about it until LONG after we'd bought our candy. I think most people felt the same way. Stow it away for next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935455 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 20:01:08 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1935455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>none and i live in a pretty granola-y neighborhood. this was the first year i've heard of the teal pumpkin though, so maybe a bigger response next year. there are definitely lots of kids with allergies here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935452 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:58:26 +0000 honeybear 1935452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None, but we gave kids a choice of candy or Halloween erasers (cats, pumpkins). A couple of kids chose the erasers and seemed really jazzed about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935449 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:53:35 +0000 MrsRcCar 1935449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in our area but we live in a tiny farming community, so I wasn't surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935317 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:15:33 +0000 BSB 1935317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't go trick or treating this year but I know a FB friend of mine did the teal pumpkin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935314 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:13:23 +0000 birdofafeather 1935314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we only went to our local small downtown and they were all handing out candy! no teal pumpkins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935296 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:02:00 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1935296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No teal pumpkins and only one house with toys instead of candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935287 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:54:38 +0000 sunny 1935287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but we only went to a few homes. One family offered a nut-free bowl of candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935177 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:04:01 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1935177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and nobody asked us for something that wasn't candy. We didn't have both bowls out, so maybe they didn't see our sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935176 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:03:52 +0000 wheres_c 1935176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't see any besides my own. I had a teal pumpkin as well as a poster on the door explaining the teal pumpkin and advising we had non-candy treats.<br /> Not one person asked for non-candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935168 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:01:53 +0000 mauxie 1935168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know this was a thing! Last year we did go to a house that gave out stickers/pencils instead of candy but this year, it was all just candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935163 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:00:44 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1935163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put one out and handed out toys, but we didn't do a lot of TOTing. My sister said she saw a few. I think it is a really new thing and hasn't really caught on yet. I did see an article about it on yahoo, so hopefully it will get more mainstream over the next few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935162 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:00:18 +0000 bunnylove08 1935162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, around our neighborhood kids trick or treat at local stores. everyone gave out candy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-follow-up-did-you-see-any-teal-pumpkins#post-1935159 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:59:48 +0000 Adira 1935159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't see any, but one of the houses we stopped at did have toy options!

So, did you see any teal pumpkins while out Trick or Treating this year?</p> <p>I didn't see any. We did have some neighbors give out little trinkets and toys instead of candy, though. A couple of neighbors gave a choice of candy or toy. </p>
