We are paying the same price as before, yet are now getting almost microscopic sized snickers, Reese’s cups, etc for Halloween. It is shockingly noticeable now. Just recent bought candy preppy for Halloween and snuck a fun sized snickers on a cheat day. It has gotta be half the size or less compared to what we used to get 20 years ago. Crazy inflation hidden in Halloween candy these days.

To be sure, this is probably a GOOD spillover effect, all things considered.

this is socialist economics, control people's behavior through the economy

ugh I looked up PGPR. so disgusting.

Yes and there are fewer pieces in the bulk bags and the bags are more expensive. TOT is going to be cost prohibitive for a lot of families moving forward, it’s ridiculous.

Downer spoiler: What's creepier to me is the new ingredients. Reese's cups now have some weird chemical. Hershey's started to add some "PRG" or something to its chocolate bars. Yes, I'm sorry I looked.

Good. With school Halloween parties, random stores giving out lollipops, trunk or treats… it’s candy overload even before Halloween.

Trump needs to fix it

He added 7.8 trillion dollars to the national debt the first go-around. This time he wants to hike prices on everything, because of his tariffs.

Oh, and he's full-on Nazi now. He said immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, that they have bad genes, and that his (white) audience at his rallies have good genes. He has talked about creating concentration camps to round up immigrants.

If you think Trump can fix this country, YOU ARE A NAZI.

Counter PSA: hard candy that you suck on for a while is much worse for your teeth. Dentists hate those (and LaffyTaffy, Airheads, etc.). Better to eat some chocolate.

I give out full bars too. They are insanely small now too!

Ugh. Soon a normal bar will be "king-sized."

It’s f**king absurd now:

Honestly that’s fine. Kids get so much candy that most of it is wasted. Every house gives out handfuls. When I was a kid you got 1-2 pieces.

Get generic stuff from overseas, or hand out less candy, or something different.

Generic Halloween candy from foreign countries? What is this and why?

Don't buy Chinese food products.

I haven't seen them this year how much smaller did they get?
