@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online His entire shtick is "I'm a crotchety old guy; life was better when I was a kid." He never even thinks that maybe variety packs became popular because adults want to let kids choose what they want, rather than the adults. I certainly have that in mind when I'm shopping. There's also no thought that the alleged decline in trick or treating is due to kids actually eating healthy foods and preferring them. I know several kids who dislike soda and barely eat candy.
