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

[Anonymous]

I think it’s just to go with their unnecessarily large McMansions and oversized SUVs. Part of a theme.

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.

So then I guess your beef is with the kids who love the big bars? Why don’t you ask those weirdos why they get so much delight out of “more of the same”?

Full-size (or occasionally King-size) candy was a true childhood delight. Decades later, I can still recall which neighbors gave them out to T-o-T.

Yes, let's equate an 80 cent candy bar with a $10 bottle of wine. Even the single serving beverage they're sharing costs more than that full sized candy bar. Full sized candy bars really aren't that expensive. I spent $30.

To be the awesome house and to annoy people like you. It’s a win/win!

I’ll bet they’re still patting themselves on the back, too.

OP here. That’s the only reply so far that makes sense. Thank you.

They all make sense. You’re just a sourpuss.

So you feel good about spreading joy by handing a bigger block of cheap, sh*tty chocolate?

I think it's stupid and unnecessary too, op.

What? No. Just get funsized nobody wants candy your hands have touched all over breaking up!

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Impossible. They may have already swapped the Halloween candy for the version with the Christmas wrappers, but mountains of fun size candy assortments are still piled high in every grocery store corner.

Target was out of nearly all fun sized candy on Saturday evening. Last year I couldn’t find fun size at target or the grocery store so I bought what I think is “snack size,” or whatever the next level up is.

Yes. Snickers are delicious.

I was willing to go full size OP because I just tried to buy any candy in Kensington (Safeway, CVS & the Wheaton Giant) but all sold out except the extra big bars. We’re gonna be the goldfish and werther’s people !! DH trying one more place!

But to your point: When prepared we give out little bags stuffed with candy and light up braclets. We probably only get 40 groups in a good year (miss our old neighborhood where we’d get 100’s) and just enjoy kids being happy!
