Fun? And wtf has 'murder motel' got to do with Halloween?

I saw Camel Balls at the post office earlier. Huge great testes hanging off a camel on the packet. My 7 year old thought it was hilarious!

If you let your children have any involvement in Halloween you can’t really be upset by this.

It's Halloween 'horror'

Not sure what's expected....fluffy pumpkins and smiley ghosts?

Kaete · 28/09/2024 20:25

They're Halloween sweets... don't see the issue.

MissMeMiss · 28/09/2024 20:27

@Pinkpop8 what would you like to see Halloween sweets called then? What would you call these specific ones?

Rumforme · 28/09/2024 20:33

Oo, creative challenge. I would call Halloween themed sweets:
Ghoulish gummies
Scary sweets
Terrifying treats
Vampire snacks
Monster yums
Cackle candy

I’m guessing Psycho?

JC03745 · 28/09/2024 20:36

I too was going to say Camel balls sweets are pretty gory- especially as they are red inside! 😯

Hmm @Rumforme has better ideas than me! I’m not sure tbh but maybe not the murder word

Yes...really not something appropriate for kids sweets.

Halloween for kids is silly 'supernatural' scary stuff.

FrogletandMe · 28/09/2024 23:32

I agree with you.

Also, I can't believe those Camel Balls sweets!

NahNotHavingIt · 28/09/2024 23:41

I mean if we're going there with rude sweets 😳😂 ........

What?
Halloween is all about the dead!

mm81736 · 28/09/2024 23:56

...and the undead

Edingril · 28/09/2024 23:58

There is sweets in the shape of skeletons and other things if we looked hard enough we could complain about

I presume this is from the movie Psycho so a joke for more parents

Halloween these days is tacky and silly but it is a bit of fun even though I don't personally do anything about it

Why do people need to sap all the fun out of things, if you don't want to buy them dont

SkiingIsHeaven · 29/09/2024 00:02

OP just don't buy them then. Problem solved.

Vote with your feet.

MissMeMiss · 29/09/2024 00:03

Too many people trying to make Halloween all about kids!

It's all inappropriate if you look hard enough.... just leave it for teens and adults if you don't like what you see

Isittoolatea · 28/09/2024 23:46

That should be illegal

malmi · 29/09/2024 00:13

Murder Motel is too strong for sweets aimed at kids.
They could have gone with Assault Tavern or GBH Inn maybe
