Here’s How To Figure Out How Much Halloween Candy You Need To Buy
Yes. There is a legitimate equation for figuring just how much Halloween candy you should buy for trick-or-treating!
The housing blog Apartment Therapy has come up with a formula. The formula is as follows...
kids in your neighborhood
DIVIDED BY
servings in one bag of candy
MULTIPLIED BY
quality of decorations in the neighborhood on a scale of 1 to 5
PLUS
quality of the weather on a scale of 1 to 5
DIVIDED BY 2
equals bags of candy you need to buy
Of course I did it for my neighborhood! 200 (kids) / 36 (servings per bag) X 3 + 3 / 2 =
9 bags of candy!! I don't have any other way to figure it out so I'm trusting this genius equation!
