What Handing Out Full Size Candy Bars on Halloween Says About You, According to Behavioral Economists

“If I give out big candy, am I generous? Am I rich? Am I successful?” As one expert puts it, Halloween is an opportunity to tell our neighbors who we are.

I always gave fun size chocolate bars of some sort.

Chocolate covered brussel sprouts and candied rhubarb stalks.

 

[jazz lady]

A mix of fun sized chocolate candy: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Almond Joy, Whoppers, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, etc. Any leftovers will be brought to work the next day.

Turning off the lights and hiding.

I used to give out some kind of chocolate, but don't participate anymore. We haven't had a knock on the door since we moved. I guess our neighborhood is too spooky for kiddies.

It's not the neighborhood....(hint hint wink wink)

If we're in an RV park that has kids, we'll get trick or treaters. Usually the park has a Halloween potluck or something, so that's always fun.

We don't get kids where we live. In southern California, I always bought small bags of pretzels and the husband would buy chocolate bars...amazingly enough, when given a choice, kids usually wanted the pretzels!

Even with the new sidewalks in place, I dont' ever see trick or treaters on the main road in leonardtown.

I think they're doing something with the businesses in the township for kids to trick or treat.

Small bags of M&M's

One year I gave out bags of Doritos and Fritos and they were a big hit.

That's a great idea! I might get some of those too. If the kids don't take them, then more for me!

If we get any trick or treaters this year, it will small 3 Musketeers, Snickers and Milky Way. I hope we get some, I would hate to have to eat all that damn candy by myself!!

 

[NextJen]

Maybe I'll take a big bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to hand out at the brewery, where I'll treat myself to a Pumpkin Spice Stout.

Well, there's that.

Never seen one yet, but just in case I got some supplies

I'm going trick-or-treating at your house!

I was going to make a joke about giving full sized Nickel Bars, but figured it might not go over if people didn't know the history of the Nickel Bar (it changed in size fairly based on the cost of cocoa and would probably be smaller than a fun sized candy bar today).

So I tried to look it up, and now I can't find it. Am I going senile?

 

[Steve D.M.V.]

I don't get trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood, but my brother's grandsons always to my house. I'm giving them Peanut Butter cups, Twix and M&Ms.
