Why is fruit lumped in with religious pamphlets and other non-candy?
Kids who come to our house will get a mix of stuff (fruits, nuts, candies). They most definitely will not get any religious pamphlets, not even those espousing the avoidance of religion.
The velocity of their treats depends on their tricks.
I used to rig ghosts on fishing-line zip-lines (invisible in the dark) so they'd swoop in at high velocity when they were walking back down the driveway. Lots of loooong waits for the right moment, but the few times I got it right they would hear something fluttering up behind them; they absolutely piss themselves in terror when they turn and see this THING coming at them at tens of meters per second and fly just over their heads.
Their screams have kept me warm at night for years.
"Eat fruit instead of candies." is a typical excretion of the unholy Healthy-Diet-Religion. Damn hippies. If it was customary to offer meat on Halloween, they'd probably replace it with veggies.
Hmm, maybe I should offer some meat "candy" this time, to promote my Carnivorous Cult?
It's all about their pathetic little egos. Sure, they'll wrap it up with some rationalization like, "It's to keep you healthy!" or "It's to save your soul!" but in the end, the more folks who believe the way they do, the more comfortable that they are "right".

Kids who come to THIS house will walk away with Linux CDs. Who knows what distro they'll get? It might not even be compatible with their processor architecture! That's part of the Halloween fun!
No, but it would be fun if the polls also sometimes asked things that do not make sense to Americans. Fair is fair.
What do you give someone who asks for a penny for the guy? - A quid - 20p - A penny - Fags - The V sign
What will you do this Hogmanay? - We drink, we drink, we drink... - First-foot - Bonfire - Caroling not covered under the first option - Did you mean who will I do?

Many of the are completely unawares of how much sugar is actually in fruit.
On the plus side, it's nice of them to offer up both an object to throw AND a target.

So, I picked "religious pamphlets".
