A local child reminded herself Saturday to avoid a certain neighbor’s home next Halloween, Dumb Runner has learned.
“My mom says he’s a runner,” said Lucy Van Pelt, 9, referring to the neighbor in question. “And he always hands out this weird, gross stuff.”
This year, she said, the man offered trick-or-treaters “Fun Size” packets of Gu energy gel. In past years, he has reportedly given out temporary pace chart tattoos, Run Gum, and individual packets of ibuprofen.
“I’d rather have Snickers or Skittles or something,” said Van Pelt. “You know… candy.”
“I don’t think there’s anything fun about this Fun Size Gu,” she added, mispronouncing Gu as “GUH.”
“Yuck.”
