A new survey of 2,000 adults reveals Americans consume their Halloween candy stash twice on average before October 31st arrives. One in four people restock three times or more, with 55% making last-minute candy runs despite early planning. The survey found that one-third identify as early planners who prepare by October 1st, while nearly as many admit to procrastinating. Among costume wearers, 43% need finishing touches in the final days. Nearly two-thirds consider themselves “Halloween people,” with candy ranking as the holiday’s top appeal at 42%. This year, 40% plan to distribute non-food items like fidget toys and friendship bracelets to accommodate children with food allergies. (Story URL)
