  If MatPat had access to small children in each state, you know he'd be running an experiment to analyze candy, with the same costume for control.

  I was literally sitting here eating candy corn and MatPat attacks me for no reason.

  Another factor, a friend of mine recently mentioned her son’s school told them they can’t buy candy with nuts due to kids having allergies. So maybe people buy less popular candy like a Snickers or Peanut M&Ms to avoid / prevent kids from having an allergic reaction.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tkpvdECaVg&amp;t=108">1:48</a> my boyfriend once bought me a big thing of Mike and Ike’s (an 8 pound bag) and put one singular hot tamale in there, still angry to this day.

  These are no longer theories, we are simply witnessing Matt’s gradual transformation into a mad scientist

  Also I love that MatPat’s “your neighbors hate your kids” was concluded with “because they aren’t made of money” 😅

  Counterargument: The kids don&apos;t necessarily take ALL of the candy you buy. If you get too much, you have to eat the surplus yourself. As a result, people will genuinely buy good varieties of candy for Halloween. That&apos;s why I have so much chocolate in my minifridge right now. It&apos;s just waiting for the time when I can plausibly eat the &nbsp;̶w̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶s̶h̶ &nbsp;leftovers.

  My grandma always used to give out Kit-Kats and Snickers. &nbsp;Unfortunately a lot of the neighbors stopped giving out candy for one reason or another (some died, some moved, some just couldn&apos;t afford it). &nbsp;Grandma&apos;s no longer able to give out candy herself but I think my aunt, who she now lives with, does something for Halloween.

  The other reason that I&apos;ve heard of for people getting less than desirable candy to give out on Halloween other than price is that so they themselves won&apos;t end up eating any leftovers. Some people specifically give out candy they themselves do not like so that they won&apos;t be tempted to eat any of what doesn&apos;t get taken by the kids.

  MatPat is one of those YouTubers whose videos you binge watch then get burnt out on. A month or two later you remember he exists and now there’s a bunch of new videos with which you can repeat the process. It’s a wild ride.

  My mom is a Hot Tamalas fanatic, she has to get some a couple times a week because it &apos;makes her happy&apos; and we often find them all over the floor, in her sheets or between the couch cushions when she cleans the house.
