It's hard to buy candy for yourself as an adult because you know it's nothing but love handles and tooth decay in shiny wrappers. But if it comes into your orbit once a year without buying it, it's tempting.

Of course, when my kid was small he basically didn't bother eating it at all. He'd get like 100 pieces of candy and they'd linger around until Christmas. When I was a kid we'd get pillowcases full and it'd be gone in days. Not sure if that's a generational thing or if my son was just not very motivated by sweets.
