Bucketful of Boos

There's been a lot of buzz in the Halloween community for the past few weeks about the re-release of the McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets, particularly among millelenials who remember these from their childhood.

I previously posted about the earlier 1980's version of these buckets.  Since then, I've acquired some of the later series from the late 80's, early 90's and even up to the early 2000's.  Again, these don't do much for me as they were past my Halloween prime, but the kids like them.  "The Kids" being in their late 30's and early 40's now.

My daughter wanted one of the new Boo Buckets, so we went on the first day they were available.  I noticed they were much more cheaply made than the originals and had a faux top and thin piece of cardboard rather than a real lid.

There's been a bit of a frenzy in getting the new buckets and as expected, many people are buying them simply to flip on eBay.  To them I say, "Booooooo....".
