I never understood people who got bent out of shape about giving a 14 year old 9 cents worth of candy one day a year.

    Are those 9 cents worth of candy in the room for us?

    No for real, hasn't candy, like anything else, become expensive?

    Yes, I was using a form of language known as "hyperbole" where you deliberately exaggerate to make a point.

    However. A quick google shows me I can buy a box of 100 mini chocolate bars for $13 at Walmart, or roughly 13¢ per bar.
