AMERICANS LOAD UP ON CANDY FOR HALLOWEEN 2020 by Erik Lane | Sep 24, 2020 | DJ Blogs, Erik | 0 comments Whether or not they’ve decided to take part in trick-or-treating this Halloween, Americans are stocking up on candy for the fall season. U.S. sales of Halloween candy have shot up 13% over last year – a larger jump than the usual single-digit numbers. Sales of Halloween chocolate alone are up 25%. This jump may be due to earlier Halloween displays at some chains, but Americans may just need a sugar fix after months of stress and anxiety.
