Halloween trick-or-treaters got more than they bargained for last night, receiving some surprising items instead of traditional sweets.

From hotdogs to loose cough drops, people took to Twitter to reveal the wealth of odd items they were gifted – likely by those caught short without confectionary to give trick-or-treaters.

Others shared the non-traditional items they were planning to give to trick-or-treaters turning up outside their homes last night.

Highlights included everything from two penny pieces to interdental brushes (arguably quite handy after eating all those sweets).

Another woman had thoughtfully stocked up on Play-Doh and glow sticks to give children a more long-lasting treat they could play with.

One thing’s for sure: people were definitely thinking out the box this year.
