That’s almost as bad as candy corn

How much butter do you want on your popcorn?

The other choice was to throw it out.

I used to do this with scoops of ice cream, right into the bag.

They were expecting mystery candy?

Candy corn and Planters dry roasted peanuts. Yum!

You can tell she is at home because she is serving without her clear plastic gloves and hair net!

Eeeew! She could have at least put it in a baggie!

Oh boy! SCORE!

I hope the next house has those fake pork ribs to go with this creamed corn! YESSSS! We’re makin’ out like bandits!

They should have known better, last year it was creamed spinach.

I never knew where the lunch lady or my “favorite” teacher lived. Sort of Russian roulette, trick or treating in my town.

She must know Andy from Foxtrot.

Perfect for those prank “barf” puddles on the sidewalks.

HIPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

GLOP!

Yum, my favorite

I wouldn’t mind one of those oil soaked squares of pizza they used to serve!

Or would you rather prefer creamed CANDY corn….?

That’s still better than canned spinach.

Don’t stop at the septic tank cleaner’s house.

Well, it beats the creamed broccoli she gave you last year.

OK, you knew it was the school’s lunch lady’s, but you went anyway.

Mmmm I love creamed corn! :)

Bleeb’s keeping well clear. :)

Trick or treating at 5:00 AM?

Creamed corn is as much a culinary atrocity as liver and onions. Great way to spoil a perfectly good onion.
