When a lot of us were kids trick or treating they passed out real regular size candy bars and treats for the most part, many of which upon consuming a few would definitely increase your odds of getting a cavity, not to mention a pretty good stomach ache after eating too much candy the next day. Nowadays these little micro-candies they pass out are a sad excuse, it would 20 of them to make up a real candy bar let alone produce a cavity.
When I was a kid, MANY kids (but not me!) would do what was called “sticking horns”. This was in the 60s and 70s, and they would go out at night (starting around October first) and look for a car sitting innocently in a driveway. Then they would use a stick to wedge it in the steering wheel so the horn would stay on, blaring loudly. Often you could hear four of five car horns going off around town. Locking the door to the car was an extra special “Take that!” from the horn-stickers. At the bus stop the next morning, the pranksters would boast about how many horns they had “stuck”. Ah, that fond memory of childhood!

Or maybe they should be following the kids who live in those houses.

The biggest cavity is between their ears…

Dummies! That just tells you who ate the most candy and had bad oral hygiene.

the fact that they HAVE cavities and candy doesn’t necessarily mean they will share their candy on Halloween night….

sorry….I know that’s overthinking it and it’s just a cartoon, but I feel mouthy this morning

Actually that data says who GOT the most candy, not who gave it.

Not a bad algorithm though….

Nope. Those of us who give out a lot of candy don’t necessarily eat it ourselves. We give it away to keep us from eating it.

What’s that, you say? You have several cavities? Well, you know the drill.
