Our parents do SO much for us in the course of our lives. They deserve a little reward from time to time!

According to this new poll, parents have been taking that reward, even stealing it! Oh yes, this is serious! This poll says that 86% of parents have secretly stolen some of their kids’ Halloween candy before! Most parents admit to taking roughly 25% of the candy their kids haul in!

The survey is full of cool stats like…

1.  40% of people say they enjoy Halloween as adults more than they did as kids.  Just over a third say it’s because THEY get to decide how much candy they can eat, and no one can stop them.

2.  58% of adults try to limit how much candy they eat on Halloween night.  That’s compared to 75% of parents who limit the amount of candy their kids eat.

3.  73% of us intentionally buy more candy than we need for trick-or-treaters, just to make sure there’s plenty left over. 

It’s like my Dad used to tell me…you live under my roof, you live under my rules. Boom, candy!
