I'm guilty. But I did wait two weeks after I bought it to open one bag. That has to count for something.
I started to buy this year's supply a couple of weeks ago and it's still in the bag. I did have to sample the stock I had left over from last year to ensure the quality was good enough for the tons of kids who get dropped off from outside my condo complex. There have been some kids living in this complex over the years but never as many as we get every year. I'm about one mile from the New Hampshire state line and we get vans full of their kids dropped off in our target-rich environment.
I'm known for giving out full-size candy bars but I do keep some "punishment" candy around for the teens who don't really make an effort to do much for their costume. If you're wearing your hockey jersey and have a pillow case for your goodies, that's not making an effort and you get the Necco Wafers or Squirrel Nut Zippers (can't eat that with any orthodontia installed). If they are carrying their stick, wearing pads or put some of mom's lipstick on as a "scar", that's costuming and they get a full-size.
My sister and I will beta test that full size candy for ya... We are known for testing the butterfingers, twix, and reeses really well... Does dressing up as a rocket scientist count? *Throws on thunderstruck Tshirt and puts burnt AP all over arms to make it look like he has been cleaning motor cases*
be the terror of the parents...hand out chococolate covered coffee beans .
