My parents did this growing up because my dad worked at a chocolate factory and could get full sized bars for very very cheap. People today still comment that they remember our house because of that hahaha.
Your dad worked at a chocolate factory? I bet you were the most popular kid in school!
Seriously! That would have been my life's dream as a kid. lol.
We tot at H's work. The kids received a lot there. Though H's work is full of single foreign men. They are very literal. You say "go buy candy to give to kids" they go buy a craptop of full size candy bars.
I remember ever getting a full-sized candy bar from one house a few times as a kid. They also gave out pennies.
One of my mom's neighbors gave out full sized snickers bars one year. His house went into forclosure the next year. I know it's not related, but it's an MM coincidence.
