These days my kids just skip the middle man and pour sugar straight into their mouths. At one point I was frequently confiscating sachets of sugar they'd nabbed while I wasn't looking.

In the US we’d basically been doing this for decades as kids, sanctioned by the candy makers through pixy stix (which apparently wasn’t even real sugar but maltodextrin).

I completely forgot pixy stix existed. Now I kinda want one.

I had one out of my kids' Halloween candy a few months ago. Trust me, no you don't.

Some things are better left as memories.
