I went as a Fairy Godmother (new on the job, so I hadn't earned my wings yet) and since I was new to the post this year, I didn't have time to get them their wished-for candy. But! If they would tell me their costume (if I couldn't guess) and their favorite candy, I'd be sure to have it next year. [So my story went...]


*I was "serving Butterfingers and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, so those numbers are skewed. I also got 5 college kids who were collecting cans instead of candy (WTG Wash U!!!), so I put them down as the candy they selected from me, skewing those numbers even more. However, out of the 3 bag I bought (2 Reeses, 1 Butterfinger), I have only 6 Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and 8 mini-Butterfinger bars left!

Now, my dream would be to buy at least two full-sized bars of the candy bars and equal weight of candy in non-bar candy bars for next Halloween, but I've probably got to win the lottery first.



Interesting, tho, neh?
