Halloween candy sales down?
Posted In: News
8 Oct 2009
Just when I thought candy sales were doing fine, the results of a new survey released by the National Retail Federation indicate that compared to last year, consumers plan to spend 15.4% less on Halloween. Of the survey takers who said the recession made an impact on their Halloween plans, 46.5% said they would spend less on candy and 5.3% said they would not buy candy for Halloween at all.
For people who plan to spend less, that is completely understandable. Times are tough, but innocent, little kids should still have their night of trick-or-treating. For those who do not plan on giving candy to adorable trick-or-treaters, BOO to you!
People still have time to prove this survey wrong. Go out and buy some Halloween candy =D

Halloween doesn’t seem like how it was when we were younger. The sidewalks used to be covered with kids going from house to house, now a days, I don’t see that anymore. Only a few kids here and there, it seems more ‘dead’ this generation of kids.

Being the older kid in the family, I would go through our candy stash first and then give the rest to my brother. I would always hate on the houses who just gave out sweet tarts and tootsie rolls lol
