Why do some people give out full-sized candy bars for Halloween?

Let me guess. You’re giving out Pirates Booty? Or tiny boxes of raisins?

I give out adult-sized handfuls of candy to all of the kids.

The best was a little girl dressed as "Annabelle" or "Marybelle" or something or another from Encanto... said "Holy Moly" I followed that up with an extra handful because she won Halloween!

Absolutely adorbs!!!!

I like to see their little faces light up!

Because they want you to know they are rich.

I just had a 6th grader say "Oh shit" when I gave her a handful of candy, LOL!

I just grabbed the last three bags of candy (Milky Ways) at our store (actually there were five and I left two for someone else to buy)

Milky Ways are gross... full sized or fun sized absolutely no one appreciates a Milky Way!

The look on their faces. The OMG. The smiles. The happiness. The love.

OP doesn't seem to appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
Must hurt to be such a nasty woman.

Nah she hands out snack size bags of pretzels to go in the kid’s lunch boxes.

Not standing up for some of the anti-fun PPs, but I will go to bat for the little bags of pretzels. My kid hates chocolate, so granted she’s weird, but she always loved getting a bag of pretzels. My parents have given out lunch-sized bags of chips for decades (mom’s a dentist), and kids were always thrilled. Everyone likes chips.

They were my favorite when I was a kid! All the benefits of Snickers without the weird texture from the peanuts.

Lol. This is so over the top. OP here. Been giving out fun size candy all night, and the kids are happy and smiling here, too! Amazing! My kids are out collecting tons and tons of candy which they will devour when they get back, unrestricted. It’s a beautiful evening. Happy Halloween, DCUM!

No, I’d be in to that, but go on with your assumptions.

Going above and beyond for adult joy 👍
Going above and beyond for child joy 🙅‍♀️

OP here. I think it’s great when neighbors have adult beverages to share. I would find it incredibly odd if they were handing out an entire bottle of wine to every adult. Sometimes more of the same thing is just odd. That’s all.

But I’m a wine writer and this is how I get rid of all the sample people send me that they didn’t ask me about first. My neighbors love me.

Kids think it's a blast. Ds got 4 full sized candies. He ate a quarter of a big lollipop before he got tired of it and put it in a ziploc. He will probably eat another 1/4 tomorrow and then it will get tossed. He gave DH his kit Kat and me his sour skittles. I think its the novelty and excitement of it. Who cares in the grand scheme of things?
