Unless they include Pasties and Chips into the "treat" category, I don't see it getting big either. Maybe compromise with Steak and Kidney Pud and can of Dandelion and Burdock... But I think the main reason it hasn't really exploded is because the youth of England enjoy the holidays where the door is held open for them to create carnage. Bonfire Night has fireworks aka missiles (nuff said!), Mischief Night is pretty much self explanatory, and Christmas leaves the older, wiser of the youth free to destroy the hopes, dreams and fantasies of those younger than them with one minor detail. What kind of self respecting, sociopath teen doesn't enjoy breaking children's hearts lol?

I draw on myself with permanent marker all the time, and it does take a scrubbing but it will come off. Just might be a little red in the forehead afterwards lol.
