Is this for real? I think this is hysterical!!
Drop in the candy that you got in your Halloween Treat bag that you don't care for into this special vending machine and get a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in return

Holy Hannah! I guess I shouldn't be complaining about our nearly-400 kids. Went through 500 pieces of candy and bags of pretzels this year.

I bought a bag of Reese's peanut butter cups all for myself. "Trick or Treat"!

That's brilliant marketing.

We don't get enough trick or treaters here to bother getting candy for them.

15 kids total...

[Andy M.]

We got a bag of 150 candies and SO tells me we have 20 left. Let me do the math for you. 130.

Went and babysat grandkids last night, they went out in a group of 15. They had a pile of stuff. Even got fruit.

I thought people stopped giving fruit as treats when rumors of razor blades in apples became widespread. Maybe that was just in the States?

That's CRAZY talk... unwanted candy.

My son lives in a new development where everyone knows everyone. They are all young folk. I'd trust them as well.

I was thinkin' that this candy converter was more meant
for the candies the kiddos got after going out Trick-o-Treating ...
ya know, the candy rejects
... like some of the Allergy free candies we had ... Smarties, Sweet Tarts
I asked each group of kids if anyone had allergies, only 2 out of over 100!
Next year I think I'll have just a small amount of Skittles separated out for them. At least those are more tolerable.

There's a thing here that people put out teal colored pumpkins to show that the house only gives out nut-free candy.

Natural selection run amok.

Hey, I like Sweet Tarts!

I got the same impression. I sure would trade in crappy filling pullers for Reese's

I had both buckytom



I had this bowl filled up twice during the course of the night,
with only two visitors that really needed it, I told all the
other kids, just go for it.
I think it was better to have two bowls of candy though.
We did have some larger groups.
