@francessalas4148 Год назад

I think this is a pretty good video The only thing I have a small problem with is that candies like hot tamales or candy corn are some of the more dense and weighty candies out there so with the lower price point also comes less candy

@LoVeAbLe_Usako Год назад

Another factor, a friend of mine recently mentioned her son’s school told them they can’t buy candy with nuts due to kids having allergies. So maybe people buy less popular candy like a Snickers or Peanut M&Ms to avoid / prevent kids from having an allergic reaction.

@midcoregamer7625 Год назад

Counterargument: The kids don't necessarily take ALL of the candy you buy. If you get too much, you have to eat the surplus yourself. As a result, people will genuinely buy good varieties of candy for Halloween. That's why I have so much chocolate in my minifridge right now. It's just waiting for the time when I can plausibly eat the ̶w̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶s̶h̶ leftovers.

Na, most people buy the crappy candy to put out and get the good chocolate for themselves. In the states that chose candy corn etc. They seemingly don't have high population densities and have way more farmland or distance between houses so people probably care even less.

@nicoledegennaro2993 Год назад

The other reason that I've heard of for people getting less than desirable candy to give out on Halloween other than price is that so they themselves won't end up eating any leftovers. Some people specifically give out candy they themselves do not like so that they won't be tempted to eat any of what doesn't get taken by the kids.

@_Chessa_ Год назад

My Mom tried to do that in 2020 when she was on her diet.. we needed candy but she thought giving out the cheap nasty candy would be fine as it wouldn’t tempt her, and I decided to use some saved money to get the good chocolate stuff. She was so angry and Ofcourse eating the candy at the same time. XD

You would be surprised by how much Candy Corn is popular when no other candy is around. One year, when I was in school, my teacher had a bowl of candy corn after Halloween that we could take, before the end of the period, the whole bowl was gone, even after my teacher refilled it

@MrMarcmans Год назад

Candy corn is the first candy that comes to mind when thinking about Halloween as a non-american who has never ever seen them IRL. They often show up in Halloween game and movie events. Therefore, I think its also an aesthetic thing. The tamales are cheap AND orange-ish.

@SlowPCGaming1 Год назад

Walmart has regular sized (2022) bars. So does QuikTrip, Target, Kroger, Dollar stores (maybe). Regular size doesn't mean the same thing as it used to decades ago. Candy bars and confections have steadily been getting smaller over time since their first release. Sometimes there will be "giant" sized promos that are gimmicks or what their original portion used to be.

@Bliffenstimmers Год назад

They even make them in candy canes I see them every year at grocery stores and they sell well. When I think of hot tamales candy to Halloween, I think of how minty candy canes are to Christmas. Also it’s COLD here, that cinnamon can warm you up at the bus stop for school. Thanks for the video!

I think you'd really be surprised at what children actually like. A lot of kids really like extreme flavors. I took to offering Trick-or-treaters 2 baskets to choose from: chocolate-based candy bars, or other stuff. (The other stuff was sugar based candies and non-food items like Halloween pencils.) So, so many children happily exclaimed, "Other stuff!!" It seemed a good half of the kids were bored by chocolate.

@fionazelmann7541 Год назад

kids tend to prefer sour candy (especially the extremely sour candy) than adults so that kind of makes sense. i remember warheads being a big thing when i was a kid. also cheap candies that come in big containers are preferred by kids to smaller, but higher quality better tasting candies. kids aren't as concerned about quality as much as quantity. so cheaper in bulk is likely to draw in a kid more so than smaller but better taste and texture. how many adults still love pop rocks and nerds as much as they did when they were kids?

It's a well-known trend that if you buy Halloween candy that you yourself aren't a fan of, it's less likely to be gone by the time Halloween actually hits. Variety packs are also a popular buy, and we tend to give out the candies we like the least from those so that we still have some of the candies we like if there's any left over.

Although I have a bowl of candy fir the kids that really want candy, I started giving out little toys instead. They can be cheap in bulk, I can keep the leftovers for next year, and I don't have to worry that the parents are going to throw out the kids' haul when they get home. One year I was having a fight with a few of my neighbors, so I gave out whistles. The problems magically went away.

He always gave away good candy, but the tradition we have here in Norway seems to be a bit different from the one in the US, here we don't place the candy outside, but we have to ring the doorbell and see what the adult would try scaring us with, before giving us candy.

While I wouldn't call it a high-ranking favorite, I do appreciate Hot Tamales and generally consider them a good "budget" candy. They're tasty enough to enjoy, and fact that they're a bit too strong to eat more than a handful of at a time makes them last a lot longer since you're not tempted to wolf down the entire box in one sitting.

There’s another thing that makes candy corn popular: decorations. They’re edible, so waxy they won’t just rot, and last for a couple months. Source: my mom’s done candy corn in jars for fall seasonal decor for years. Be it beneath a candle (that’s never lit) or just filling a small mason jar set with miscellaneous candies and using candy corn as a colourful space filler somebody will probably eat, there’s a lot you can do with them.

Small discrepancy with the weight. KitKat bars are like minimal chocolate and mostly wafers which have a lot of air. On top of that, other candy bars are made of lots of different mixtures which could add weight. Like caramel(afaik) is pretty heavy. As well, the reason for buying cheap candy is to make sure the house has enough, not just to cheap out on candy handouts.
