Warm temps and a little rain made for just a fine Halloween night in Wellesley, and kids weren’t complaining about the full-size bars doled out by some either.

We’ve gone the full-size route in recent years, and it definitely gets the kids excited (handing out full-size bars is apparently even national news, per The Today Show and MSN Money: “What handing out full-size candy bars on Halloween says about you, according to behavioral economists”). Some kids even say “Thank You” without prompting from parents. A greedy few ask if they can have 2.

No.

When a parade of kids came to our door early on, the usual nerves kicked in about whether we’d bought enough. I mentioned to Mrs. Swellesley that maybe we’d wound up on some app directing kids to full-size houses.

But about 100 trick-or-treaters later, only a handful of candy bars remained. It seems as if our data analytics have become really sophisticated, though we were surprised that Snickers bars have become so unpopular.

Meanwhile, there was a missed opportunity over near Morses Pond, where Swellesley devotee LR reports they were handing out full-size bars but had just one taker.
