Groceries won't sell eggs to minors

When I was a kid we just used TP. It was a badge of honor to have your house TP'd. I did my fair share of TP-ing, too! Happy Halloween!!! mm

I have personal experience with getting my house egged and my has been egged... Both were done by friends of my children. We knew who did it and they meant no harm, just wanted to have some fun... WELL, the cars paint definitly is not in good shape after and I did have to paint the front of the house because the eggs dried up before I got to it.

Willy has good adivice, if you dont believe it causes damage try it on your own house and your own car...

I think that's a great idea. It's a very responsible thing to do, and it's evident this storeowner is more concerned about his community than about the few dollars he'd lose by selling eggs to minors. Bravo!

Actually, I own a business and GIVE Free eggs to anyone who buys spray paint, mace, candy or a costume.. I also give away free horse crap and paper bags if they buy a book of matches. We also promote a book that I have co-written called .. " 100 Halloween Pranks" ... I do charge 50 cents for Wax, however..

Several years ago one egg which was thrown at my car while I was going about 30 mph ruined the paint job. The problem is that the egg shell, which is calcium carbonate, is extremely hard, but due to its thinness and the liquid core of the egg the shell shatters upon impact into hundreds of razor sharp little arrowhead like pieces, each of which chips out a small piece of paint, thus leaving a starburst pattern. It's an expensive repair job for such a mindless prank!

I lived in a small town and we filled balloons up with water and someone would drive an old truck through the town square and we would bomb everyone.
I though it was real funny until I got bombed. I still remember the pain.
If this not saleing eggs to kids on Halloween gets around they will just buy them early. Then the kids will possible be throwing rotten eggs. Yuck!!!

I never egged a house . Eggs tasted too good to waste on a prank . Now the use of shaving cream or soap was better . Besides , if you wont sell eggs to minors for a week before Haloween , then what is to stop me from going elsewhere or getting them earlier .

When I was in high school, we always had a Junior-Senior egg fight after the bonfire party the day before homecoming. In 2005, when I was a Junior, I bought eggs at the local grocer for the occasion.

I lived in a small town (less than 1000 people) where everyone knew one another. Little did I know that the checkout lady was taking names of all high schoolers buying eggs.

Before i went out that evening, my mom got a call from the town Marshal, who informed her that I had bought eggs....can you belive that? Is that even legal?

I still had a good time that night, and I wonder how many other parents got a call from a Marshall too lazy to do his own policework.

I worked in a dollar store in a strip mall in NY.The night before Halloween,I pulled the shaving cream off the shelf.The next night ,Keith,the greedy azz owner came in and asked where it was.He knew all the little thugs that hung around the store,but he made me put it back on the shelf,cuz he didn't want to lose a buck.The kids bought it and sprayed the whole mall.Better than eggs I guess,but what a mess.

Families, puck rocks, the businessman

Maybe the Grocery store should stop selling alcohol to help prevent alcohol-related car accidents or stop selling cigarettes to help prevent the horrible disease of lung cancer or red meat, or fried foods, etc, etc. You can see where I'm going with this.

As a teenager, we lived in a very small town with not much to do. Although we never egged any house and I don't know of anyone who did, our pranks were to toilet paper houses and tress, and use water ballons. We had a ball throwing water ballons at each other, chasing each other around town and throwing the ballons at each other's cars. So all that happened is that they had a clean spot on an otherwise dirty car. I guess it wasn't political correct, but it WAS harmless and in our town having your house toilet papered was usually a sign that you were popular. Our house got toilet papered every Halloween by our friends, and we usually only toilet papered friends and family's houses. The next day we all got together for a clean up party and got rid of the toilet paper - no big deal. So kids could pull pranks that aren't harmful, and it's probably in the eye of the beholder as to what is "a horrible" child and what is not. We were all straight A students and best friends. I feel some people should lighten up, although I agree eggs are a bad idea and DO ruin paint jobs. As a Mother of 4 kids (3 grown and in college) and one smaller child, I wouldn't get upset if they said they toilet papered one of their friend's houses, although they'd be required to clean it up the next day. Just my .02 (btw, all of our pranks were pulled in the mid to late 70's and early 80's, and were basically the highlight of winter, when we were all way too old to treat or trick, and just wanted to have some innocent fun).

If your eggs went bad (stink) because they were purchased a few weeks before you wanted to use them......you had bad eggs to begin with~~!!!!
