This is a time-honored tradition of all young trick-or-treaters. Not even Christmas lets you see this much candy in one place at one time. It must be measured to truly appreciate it.

    one of the best parts of all of my cousins and kids of family friends' getting together and coming back to the house after our haul was to take inventory and trade

    I never liked candy (other than gummies). Seemingly unrelatedly, my older brother and I were never close.

    As a kid, I always appreciated the apparent good will I got from giving him all my non-gummi candy on Halloween.

    I hope the kid is planning to eat that over a period of about 6 years. There is enough sugar in that pile to kill a family of four.

    I used to collect way more candy than that when I was a kid going out on Halloween! It did not last 6 years. Maybe 1 month at most!

    And if you’re wondering: no, I was not fat as a kid. I was very skinny. I spent tons of time outside, riding my bike and playing with friends. I didn’t really start to become an indoor video game nerd until early high school. Coincidentally, I also stopped going out for Halloween and I started gaining weight!

    This is the content I look for.

    She's doing it wrong. It shouldn't be by brand, it should be by content. So, peanuts and chocolate is one category, where Reese's and Peanut M&Ms belong, for instance. Plain M&Ms go with the Hersey's bars. Also, she should be sorting these into bags, but I suppose that can come after the pictures.

    I would argue they are sorted by content.

    You've got the different types, chocolate with candy shells, chocolate with wafer centre, chocolate with peanut butter centre.

    Then in this case the chocolate with candy shells have been further categorised into the sub-categories plain and peanut chocolate. Smarties could go in this higher level group as well.

    I feel like I'm an outlier, but I somehow just disliked Reeses. I think KitKats, Skittles, M&Ms, fruit snacks, were my favorite. I remember being warned about evil strangers putting blades in stuff and since lolipops are kinda not completely sealed, I remember being afraid of those lolipops lol.

    Anyways, that was over a decade ago, childhood-me is gone.

    Too much sugar for a child. Children have no self-control with sweets.
