For those that are curious, it is a cone full of candies and treats

    shool supplies and gifts

    We don't have that tradition so I get chills at the month of hyperactivity and bad teeth I can imagine. Especially if that cone is 100% candy.

    often the lower half is almost empty (especcially with premade ones because money) because they throw in packages rather than individual candies and they get stuck halfway in. I think its also often that they insert stuff very unsorted so it seems more filled than it is (for bragging)

    We just gave our kids candies but the cone was like 8 inch long max.

    These seem self-made, which I also did. Probably using like A3 or A2 cardboard.
    It's a nice thing and you just buffer these things up however or leave them partially empty, they're closed anyway.

    The size gives you more canvas for decoration.

    Thinking back, trading that cone for 12+ years of a joy in life was a bad deal. It's a trap.

    Hey you wanna those candies? Just gotta go into that building and sit still for 8 hours just to sit still at home for some more.

    When my kids went it was a small cone of loose candies. And addition of DoubleSalt Licorice in the old days.

    Somebody mentioned there are now toys or other packaged items inside. And a lot of empty space due to she ahrink - flation. Large cone, less stuff.
