Brody's work participates in Halloween Candy Buy Back. This gives children an opportunity to sell their Halloween candy. They get $1 for 1 pound of candy. When Brody told me about this I thought, why would any kid want to do that? They end up sending the candy to the troops, so I guess that may give kids some motivation to sell their candy.
If I were a kid again and was told about this. I don't think there would be any way I would give my candy to them for only $1 a pound. I would definitely try to negotiate for more money. It just doesn't seem worth it to me, unless I had a couple pounds of candy corn and dots. Then I definitely would, because those candies suck.
I was the type of child who did everything in my power to keep my candy as long as possible. I would hide it under my bed and try to eat only one a day, but truth be told I think the longest it ever last was a week.
I guess even though I would not want to sell my candy back for $1 a pound there are people who would. Last year Brody's work got almost 700 pounds of candy. I don't know, maybe I am selfish. Would you sell back your candy?

That's funny, I'm sure it's not the kids who want to sell their candy. Their parents probably sneak over there and sell it all to get rid of it.
I don't think most kids would. But I have to trade a bunch of Joseph's candy out because he is allergic to it. Maybe he could like the money?? Hmm. I might have to look into this.
Nope, I wouldn't sell. As a child my Halloween candy was worth way more than a $1 a pound. I could earn that easy by digging up dandelions. :o) I didn't get candy very much so Halloween, Christmas and Easter were very special times. However, now as an adult and parent, I would probably try to encourage my children to sell.
You're hilarious Stacey. I bet it was parents making the kids do it. You look great by the way!
