Treats over tricks

We asked Granny users the following questions:

How much do you plan to spend on Halloween candy this year?

Based on the feedback we received, most users plan on spending anywhere between $11 - $35 on candy for trick or treaters in the neighborhood, or themselves. I mean really, who can resist those pumpkin shaped chocolate goodies.

Which do you prefer? Candy Corn vs. Candy Apple?

While these treats are offered year-round, most people only get a craving for candy apples or candy corn during the month of October. This was a close one. 37% of users voted for candy apples while 34% said they prefer candy corn.

Halloween outfits, yay or nay?

The most popular part of Halloween is dressing up. Costume options range from sweet to spooky and everything in-between.

Do you plan to dress up for Halloween this year?

The results for this were a close one as well. There was a slim margin between Yes and No. 42.40% said they were not dressing up this year and 34.80% said they were. 22.80% were undecided.

Did you dress up for Halloween last year?

Over 60% of users admitted to not dressing up last year while almost 38% decided to dress up.

Thanks to all of the Granny users who participated.
