Well, speaking as a parent it is really "for the children" ;^)

For single folks, it is a drinking holiday IMHO. For parents of
children, it is an easy way to have some fun with the kids.

It strikes me as the "napster" of the candy industry - peer-to-peer
candy sharing.

Let's see - I buy 10 pounds of candy, give 8 away, and my kids truck
home about 8 pounds - but it is different that what I got...

It is also good for the desktop candy dishes in offices around America,
as parents try to rid themselves of "excess" candy for the next few
weeks...

Just my opinion, I have no problem with those that "don't get it - it
is stupid, but some kids really like it - and that's enough for me."
