Halloween is soooo soon, cannot wait! Give me ALL the candy 😛 But don’t forget to brush those pearly whites to KEEP them pearly white, babes! Check out my previous post on how I prep with Halloween (AND keep up with my teeth maintenance while still enjoying all the sweet goodies) with Crest.
Crest took a Halloween survey and there were a ton of fun findings that came out of it! I wanted to share these with y’all, hopefully you get a kick out of them as much as I did:
- 86% of parents eat candy that was given to their child while trick-or-treating.
- Most people (73%) purposefully buy more Halloween candy than they needed for trick-or-treaters so they can eat the extra.
- 44% of parents admitted to eating more Halloween candy than their children.
- Only 48% of adults enforce a stricter teeth brushing/flossing routine on Halloween for themselves. However, 70% parents enforce stricter teeth brushing/routines on Halloween for their children.
- Over 50% of parents admitted that they snuck a few pieces of candy from their children’s candy stash without them noticing. 34% of parents insisted on “inspecting†the candy, only to hide a stash for themselves. Only 4% of parents reported that they do not eat their child’s candy.
- The average parent eats one-fourth of their children’s Halloween candy.
- Four in 10 adults say they enjoy the holiday even more now than when they were a child. For 37% of these adults, the reason why is because there’s no limit on the amount of candy they can consume.
- A responsible 58% of adults do limit their candy consumption on Halloween night and 75% of parents limit the amount of candy their children eat on the holiday.
- Seven in 10 parents enforce a stricter teeth brushing and flossing routine on Halloween, and 41% compensate for Halloween candy by serving a healthier dinner on the holiday itself or the next night.
- 72.7% of mothers limit their children to a maximum of 10 pieces of candy on Halloween. Fathers set their child’s candy limit a bit higher, with over 60% setting limits between 11 – 31+.
- Kids looking to swap their candy for cold, hard cash or toys will have a better chance with dad. 23.59% of dads said they would offer to buy back their kids’s candy as away to limit their children’s candy consumption. Only 8.95% used this tactic.
