Something To Read While Eating Leftover Candy
A man from Winnepeg handed out a Produce Passport instead of Halloween candy. The passport, which he invented himself, allows kids to collect stickers from fruits and vegetables and is meant as an alternative to all the candy.
“My friends have told me that tonight I'm going to be handing out the produce passport and tomorrow I'm going to be cleaning up all the eggs on my house.”
I’m sure a lot of kids will look at this guy as one of those toothbrush-handing-out killjoy party poopers but I have to tell you, I would have effing loved a Produce Passport when I was a kid. I love collecting stuff like that. Hell, I’m thinking of making one right now!

I love it! I'm totally making one.
All this talk of fruit stickers made me think of this.
(This is the same person as The Amazing Adventures of DietGirl. Read her; she's very funny.)
Wow, I totally love the idea of a Produce Passport! I think I'd even have liked it as a kid (not as much as chocolate candy, but probably more than Blow Pops & Smarties, or as I called it, jackass candy).
I also love Shauny's fruit sticker collection.
I have to start collecting fruit stickers.
That is a FAB idea.
I think we qualify for the over-7 version:

Actually, looking at it, (thanks Amy), it's pretty cool, and I doubt that he would have gotten eggs. I mean yes, I also would have probably prefered the chocolate, but when I first read it I was picturing this crappy, hand-made thing stapled together, and this actually looks pretty cool. I think I may just have to get one.
It's a hell of a lot better than candy corn or Necco wafers, at least. (What my office decided to have out...oddly enough, we still have tons. Imagine that.)
Cuteness!
I love Shauny's fruit sticker pie chart too.
Now I want one.
