Yeah, that crap gets thrown away or put away by mom to put in their lunchbox later.

We give full-sized white Hershey's Cookies-n-Cream bars (we get three cases and they're snatched up quickly), full-sized Sour Patch Kids, and full-sized Reese's Cups. If anything is left, it's usually the Reese's Cups. We used to do Skittles too but, now that they're on the Millennial blacklist and I don't want the moms to freak out when they see them, we have just doubled-up on everything else.

I am really fine if their moms put it in their lunchbox. I am never left with any treats after Halloween. Someone is using it. Infact, I am tempted to completely get rid of the candy and only put these snack packs.

Oh FFS, you're missing the whole point of Halloween for kids! Get a ton of candy, eat half of it while you're out trick-or-treating and then ration it out with great organization and ritual to last until Christmas. If it's just to give your mom for the lunchbox, you might as well be just some lady working at Costco!

But I bet pp also thinks trick or treating should be scheduled at like 3pm on a weekend... "for convenience."

My kids said it's a dad candy. Dad eats snickers, mom eats almond joy. They don't like either.

This is so true. My kids hate snickers and almond joy. They only get it for their parents.

My neighbors give out full size bars and are always left with the most snickers at the end of the night. They give them out to us parents.

Those Cookies N Cream things are suprisingly popular.

My kids love all of these!!

Personally, I'd eliminate the peanuts, because some kids have allergies.

Nobody is going to refuse it but it’s not exactly a coveted treat. You could give away nickels or raisins and conclude that because they weren’t refused, they must be popular. Kids will take whatever is offered.

Nope. I am all for undercutting the stupid cultural norms of over-consumption for obese people and making my own traditions.

I love to miss the whole point of Halloween, just like I like to tell children that Santa does not exist.

And I am perfectly fine with it. I don't have to be the wish fulfilling person for other people's children. My kids get what they want.

I take their ToT discarded candy to work and it gets devoured by my coworkers. So it seems that kids and grownups will take any crap or lunchbox item that I put out at home or at the office. It is free stuff. And people need some crap to stuff in their faces.

Let me guess... your kids are allowed two pieces on Halloween night and one piece daily for a week. Then you take the rest to work and secretly judge any of your co-workers who take as piece as being undisciplined and fat.

Sour patch kids.
