It's time for Halloween, and that means candy! You can not go more than 10 feet, without looking, something of childhood obesity in America, but nobody cares at all when it comes to Halloween, it is. Like a modern Hansel and Gretel but pushed into an oven by a witch, the children are suffering a slow death from heart disease and diabetes.
Do not worry, I will not proselytize to me, should not like giving candy this year.On the contrary, I believe that if you go to Halloween, to take part, do it all out. One night a year, I am using the distribution free flowing without restriction of "white powder" ok (aka: sugar).
However, some of you to resist the force of the candy and try to give an alternative treatment. So here are some guidelines to help you make your decisions for Halloween. Proceed with caution, the choice of Halloween should not be takenslightly
Fruit - Let me start with the observation that it is clear that no court has on Halloween healthy. Fruits other 364 days a year, sure to get. But on Halloween, you should never give the apples instead of candy. Or boxes of raisins (Ewwwwww!). No child, no child, no one, nobody, nowhere wants a piece of fruit in their Halloween bag. You can get from the fruits of their parents! In addition, heavy fruit! If you walk from house to house throughout the night,last thing we want is an apple orchard in your bag.
Do you really think you're kind of a change of inspiration? They are not. May be deposited hundreds of apples inspiration on the lawn, or hurled at other trick or treaters (not that I know nothing). If you do not really want to buy machine in obesity Halloween, then the lesser of two evils and give money or gift certificates. If you plan on really stubborn, then you can tryother non-candy options: bags of Goldfish (crackers, not the animal, but if you give bags full of water with little Nemos in them, I would certainly welcome your own), snacks and non-food such as adhesives or pencils. I can not tell me that I'd always crayons or stickers, but I would not hate you as if you give me an apple.
Money - Total spending money is a strategy rather poor. When I was a child when someonechange the level, thought process was "Come on, where is the candy!" The children that you were too lazy to go buy some bags of candy (and perhaps rightly so). You would have to give a decent amount of money to appreciate it. The dollar bill rare call a "ok, this is cool, but then you could blow through a sweet week of your desire not to issue a paycheck for.
It 's a very interesting business lesson here. While the real valuethe money spent is greater than the cost of a small piece of candy, perceived value is actually much less. You can whine and complain about how children should be happy that they have always money, and then use the money to buy what they want, but most children do not believe it. Most adults do not watch either ...
Lesson: Your logic makes no sense. All that matters is what the customer perceives.
Then there are people whoprovide money and nickel. You do not deign to comment on you.
Gift Certificates - Gift certificates are a simple and secure way to make stuff. their immediate gratification element Halloween. take Unfortunately, it's as good a sense aunt you a U.S. Treasury Bond on your eighth birthday - it's all very nice and comfortable, but you can not very well 'and go play with packing him that day. (We can assume that this happens to me) And now, the childare his parents persuaded him to go to McDonalds to redeem his coupon, the more difficult than trying to convince, Britney Spears, have a minimum of self-respect. Of course, if you're there, you can try to buy a value meal. Talk about the fattening of America! You have meals away from sweets to small adult fast food. It gets worse and worse.
Toothbrushes and dental floss - Believe it or not, but it happens. I would like to be on topsomeone who makes the decision to toothbrushes on Halloween. "Hey, I know children are going to eat all sorts of candy tonight, and if I give them a toothbrush cavity, at least that they are not, they are so bright and intelligent !
Come on. You agree to do anything, right? Children have toothbrushes at home. If you do not brush your teeth the brush is small does not suddenly make dental responsibility. No child isbrushes will look and say, "Hey, maybe I should consider the health of my bicuspids." In fact, no child will also give the brush a second look. The mother takes the brush and throw it in the medicine cabinet for later use. They have helped a family with the expense of others.
I do not care if you are a dentist, dental hygienist, the work for Oral-B or Laurence Olivier's "Marathon Man", Save the toothbrushes forOffice.
Leaflets - I have a comment from someone who said that Satan in his neighborhood there were two houses that have brochures, for Halloween itself. Leggo need not to make a joke of a hand, is a kind of writing. The only thing worse a brochure on proper brushing and flossing.
What would be even better than fruit.
Candy - the best choice. But I think it is time that we asa company standardized on the decisions of candy. I remember a few nights of Halloween to go home and feel like I had a huge bag of candy-filled, but when the dirt was dumped at least 50% of the part indoor inedible. And 'as thrilled to have played on a blind date with someone of your friends until you leave, only to discover, are sitting in a restaurant in front of Sloth from the Goonies (I'm sure he / she has a great personality).
There are too many largeSweets are ways to justify this garbage. You can not go wrong with Snickers, Twix Hershey's, Reese's, M & M's, Nestle Crunch, Kit Kat, etc.
And yet, for Halloween, candy from people that fruit cake is the equivalent of Christmas. No one wants it, nobody eats it, and you do not even understand. I propose a ban on the following points: O'Henry, payday, buy Smarties and Laters, Circus Peanuts, and 90% of anything made by Brach's.
Here is aGeneral rule: The next time you're in a supermarket or convenience, a look at the candy section. It is not the candy mass transit, but the individual sections chocolate box office. If the candy you plan to make the transition to a guaranteed place on Halloween, they are usually safe from it (number of days to be the exception, of course). If not, well, there's a reason that candy is not popular enough to sell hisits ...
And now it's time to talk about sweet corn. Brach's another specialty. What the hell is with candy: It 's like the Great Pumpkin, it's just for Halloween, do not know where he is and what it really is, and only one or two children of the world want to see in his arrival. It tastes like plastic fermented. And nobody * ever * buy sweets for themselves. Did you ever go out with friends or family and heard someone say, "You know what I could now go right for the desserts? A huge bag of" Ever? Me neither. It 's the "Soylent Green" Halloween candy.
If you sit me as a bad e-mail to say "I love candy!" Then stop, close to the keyboard and a doctor. You ate a lot, and the chemical components of foreign candy, and have penetrated your brain in your discernment involved.
L 'Candy manufacturer> must have the world's best marketing department, because every year they get people who buy things, even if nobody wants him. It 's a lesson here: even if the product is terrible, you can still sell.
Have a great, happy and safe Halloween, and please share your treats with caution.
