Distribute The Favorite Halloween Candy In Your Area

Remember when you were a kid at Halloween, the wonderful holiday that put an abundance of candy in your youthful hands? After a couple years, you knew the streets and houses likely to give you the most desirable haul: full-sized bars, chocolate rather than hard candy or apples, popular candies rather than off brands. Now, as you have your own kids or at least distribute candy to neighborhood kids, make sure to stock up on bulk candy that today’s kids love.

Of the 179 million Americans who celebrate Halloween, 95% will buy an average of $27 each for a whopping total of more than $2.6 billion dollars. If you spend money to celebrate the holiday, you should know the trends.

Keep These Traditions In Mind

After the kids come home with their loot, two solemn traditions come into play,

1. Mom announces that some of the candy will be put up for later (or given away) to prevent excess sugar consumption.

2. When the kids go to bed, Mom & Dad often raid the spoils of the evening

Accruing a heaping bag of the most popular sweets will assure that there will be plenty for later and that Mom and Dad get to satisfy their sweet tooth.
