How much candy will I give out this year and what will kids take?
I’ve found that kids of today enjoy different candy than what I’ve enjoyed as a child. I also found out that taste do seem to change from year to year. Maybe 10 years back kids liked pop corn balls and that dropped off. About 5 years ago kids really like those candy necklaces and I noticed that they dropped off too. But for the past few years basic candy like Hershey Bars and Pixy Stix have been the big movers.
2014 I gave out 92 full sized candies
2015 I gave out 121 full sized candies
2016 I gave out 124 full sized candies
2017 I gave out 130 full sized candies
2018 I gave out 133 full size candies
This year I am prepared with
124 pixy stix
30 Reeses
21 Hershey
21 Hershey (almond)
18 Kit Kat
3 Seaweed
1 Sardine (just for fun)
Got some Halloween Bling for my dogs.
“GET THIS FORKING THING OFF MY HEAD!”
“I will gladly wear these ridiculous red horns for a tasty treat like fine Italian Cheese or meat!”
I saw someone as a baby shark this year and maybe the best was someone made up to be Micheal Jackson doing that Whoo Hoo thing. Lots of all kinds of princess, some villains. Some Star Wars.
Between 7:30 and 8pm I ran out of all the chocolates and had to give out what was left that was mostly just Pixy Stix.
Well This year we gave out.
90 Pixy Stix
30 Reeses
21 Hershey
21 Hershey(Almond)
18 KitKat
2 Seaweed
1 Sardine (first year a 10 year boy wanted Sardines over chocolate)
A total of 183 kids (Oh My) That is most ever and is up 50 from last year. Dang….will it keep going up or is this it?
