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

Or Goldfish crackers.

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!

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

Going above and beyond for adult 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.

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.

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

Yes. Snickers are delicious.

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.

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

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Please stop trying to pass your disordered eating along to others.

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

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

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

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

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

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”?

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