A homeowner association (HOA) is apparently trying to pull off something a little tricky this Halloween. They're pushing which treats can be handed out on October 31. An online user shared a letter he claims came from his HOA. It states they want neighbors to hand out ‘fun-size’ candy bars instead of the more desirable full-size variety.
They don’t want some neighbors to feel bad about not being able to afford the bigger treats for the spookiest night of the year. (READ)
My HOA sent me a letter requesting that I stop handing out full-size candy bars for Halloween this year.

-Fun-size bars are usually 15–25¢ each.
-Full-size are around 75¢–$1.
Most people give out 2–3 fun-size anyway, so the real difference is often only a few cents per kid.… pic.twitter.com/Ez7YLgA7TF
(post continues) ...Am I crazy, or is it weird for an HOA to police this?
HOAs are terrible. What is wrong with having different experiences at different houses? Sheesh.

It’s all about candy equity or some such nonsense.
Posters say ‘fun-size’ candy bars are anything but fun.
Fun size is a lie

There is nothing “fun” about a fun-sized candy bar.

Fun size is just a gateway candy

It’s worked: candy addicts need bigger candy bars to attain a sugar and chocolate rush.
Commenters say variety and the unexpected are what make trick-or-treating so entertaining.

'experience consistent' = the rest of us are too cheap but we're also jealous

I search for the best full size candy and/or novelty items I can find so it's unique and special for the kiddos! Come on they're only little once...
Full-size bars are how a house becomes a neighborhood legend. I'd have a hard time giving that up.

We remember how fast word-of-mouth travels on Halloween night about the houses with the best candy.
Some posters say they have a plan to put a stake through the heart of this fun-sucking request.
They’re getting 2 full size bars now.

Become ungovernable
Came to say this. Double the full size for each kid.

I would double down and get a sign that says "full-size candy bars here" and stick it in the yard. then pay the fine for an unauthorized sign.
