Is Airheads coming out with a Halloween-inspired foot spray? It sounds like it even though nobody asked for it.

These branded product lines are getting out of control. There was KFC BBQ-scented perfume, Sour Patch Kids Oreos, and now Airheads Halloween-inspired foot spray? Why?! I suppose having your feet smell like candy would be better than the alternative of them smelling like...feet. Does this sound like a product that would interest you?

I'm making fun of the product, but it actually looks kind of cool. The bottle is shaped like a foot! I mean come on! That's pretty awesome and clever. Is it strange and bizarre? Yes, it is. However, it could end up taking off especially during Halloween and Spooky Season.

People tend to go crazy decorating for Halloween. You can't blame them! It's a fun holiday to decorate for. You can decorate the outside of your home along with the inside and there are so many options to decorate with. You can go scary, you can go cheeky, or you can even go cute. You can decorate your home like a haunted house or theme it like Hogwarts from Harry Potter or something. There are endless possibilities. You truly can't go wrong.

According to Food & Wine, Airheads is celebrating spooky season by helping you mask that scary smell coming from your sneakers with a scented spray that smells like a cherry Airhead bar! That's one of their best and most popular and now you can smell like it--or at least your feet can. Only, please don't end up eating your feet or something weird like that. It might smell like candy but it is not actually candy, it's still just your foot.

Craig Cuchra, vice president of marketing at Airheads' parent company, Perfetti Van Melle, tells Food & Wine, "We wanted to create something fun and unexpected for Halloween this year, something that would take our signature flavors beyond the candy aisle. This spray is all about bringing smiles in an unexpected way." Of course, Airheads isn't the only candy to do something interesting for a special occasion. Skittles released Skittles-scented candles and Reese's released a flavored lip balm. There were even candy-scented hand sanitizers during the pandemic. If you're looking for a foot spray, why not go with Airheads over the ordinary boring scents? They do smell fantastic and that bottle is truly one-of-a-kind!

9 Worst Trick or Treat Handouts for Halloween

Halloween is the time of year when spookiness takes center stage, and creative costumes rule the streets. It’s also the day of the beloved tradition, trick-or-treating. Whether you're a kid dreaming of a candy jackpot or an adult admiring the neighborhood's costume creativity while handing out treats, it's a highlight of the year.

However, you'll always find that one neighbor who likes to shake things up by handing out something other than candy. It's not always a bad thing, though. Some people do it for a good reason, like considering kids with dietary restrictions. But if you're considering going outside the box, you should avoid certain trick-or-treat handouts.

Let's talk about the Halloween horrors, the stuff no one wants in their trick-or-treat bag. First on the list are those infamous toothbrushes or dental floss packs. Halloween is the one night a year when kids can indulge in a sugar frenzy, and suddenly, you're handed a dental hygiene product. It's like being told to eat your veggies at a birthday party. Then there are the homemade treats. While some homemade goodies can be delicious, receiving unlabeled, homemade treats can make even the bravest trick-or-treater think twice; also, most parent's won't feel comfortable with that and may dispose of them. All of your hard work will go to waste! Safety is paramount on Halloween, and unwrapped or unlabeled edibles can raise concerns.

Another item to avoid is pennies. They're not even worth the trip to the store, and they make you question if you've accidentally stumbled into a time machine back to the 1950s. If you’re going to give out money on Halloween, make it worthwhile if you can swing it. While Halloween is all about surprises, pennies are definitely not the kind of surprises anyone hopes for.

Take a look at some of the worst trick-or-treat handouts for Halloween.

Key Chains

Keychains are handy, but they're not exactly the kind of treasure kids hope to find in their candy haul. They want stuff that's sweet, not stuff for keys they don't have. Save yourself some money and pass on key chains.

Hygiene Products

We all know cleanliness is important, but getting soap, shampoo, or hand sanitizer in your treat bag on Halloween is not what kids look forward to. It's a treat, not a trip to the pharmacy. It's like getting socks for Christmas. While practical, it's not exactly exciting.

Loose Change

Coins may have been an acceptable treat decades ago, but nowadays, they're seen as disappointing. Kids prefer candy. Or maybe small toys (if they're exciting/cool enough). Unless, you're giving away the big bucks, steer clear of this one.

Trail Mix

Healthy snacks are great, but Halloween is all about the sugar rush. Kids aren't exactly thrilled to find a mix of fruit and nuts in their bag. They're hoping for chocolates and gummies, not something they associate with after-school snacks.

Coupons

Adults may appreciate coupons for discounts at local businesses, but they don't make for a fun Halloween treat for kids. Saving money is cool, but Halloween is all about instant gratification. And coupons for discounts don't really make the cut.

Brochures or Pamphlets

Halloween is not the time to distribute religious or informational materials. Kids are looking for fun and treats, not pamphlets. Consider giving those away another day that's not Halloween.

Toothbrushes and Dental Floss

Halloween is all about the candy, right? So, if you toss a toothbrush or dental floss into a kid's stash of treats, you're basically inviting disappointment. Plus, it's safe to assume that the trick-or-treater already has a toothbrush. Do they truly need another one?

Unwrapped Candy

Throwing unwrapped candy into a plastic pumpkin? That's just asking for a sticky mess. Plus, it's not the cleanest option. And given the concerns these days, it's just another worry for parents who fear someone might mess with their child's candy.

Homemade Treats

Those fancy homemade snacks that look like they came straight from Pinterest can be cute, but if you don't really know the kids or their parents, they might wonder about your intentions. Sticking to pre-packaged treats is your best bet on Halloween, especially if you're trying to keep trick-or-treating simple and sanitary.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
