In a humorous tone, parents and children in the US took to the streets on Halloween night to go trick-or-treating in search of the biggest and best candy bars from their neighbors. However, former NFL star Robert Griffin III was shocked to see something different happening around his home. He shared his surprise on X, stating that he had never seen someone selling candy at their door for trick-or-treaters before.The unwritten rules of Halloween seemed to have been thrown out the window, and it is a rare sight in the world of trick-or-treating. Perhaps, some people were trying to make a return on their Halloween candy investment, as the price of candy and gum has risen by 12.8% over the past year, according to a report from Datasembly. This increase is nearly twice the rate of other groceries.
While candy costs have gone up across the country, the price hikes vary by state. Candy prices in Alaska rose by 7.1%, whereas Vermont experienced a surge of 14.7% in candy and gum prices. Although buying candy for trick-or-treaters might be more expensive this year, it is actually lower than the 19.9% increase in 2022.
So, while kids and parents enjoyed their Halloween festivities, they were faced with the unexpected phenomenon of people selling candy at their doors. It seems that even the traditions of Halloween are not exempt from change and surprises. It certainly made for an interesting and unforgettable Halloween experience for Robert Griffin III and his family.
