"Adultoween" Is the Latest Halloween Trend?
It's October, so here come the Halloween polls . . .
The chocolate company Ferrero released their 2024 Halloween survey, and they're trying to claim the hot new trend is ADULTS celebrating Halloween. (???) Yeah, that's not new.
They're even trying to get a new term trending . . . "ADULToween". (Can we agree that's dumb and should never be uttered again?)
Here are a few stats to kick off the spookiest month of the year . . .
1. 69% of adults plan to buy Halloween candy, even if they don't expect trick-or-treaters. So for some of us, it's just an excuse to eat sweets.
2. 67% of parents will buy extra candy "just in case" they need it, then secretly stash some away for themselves.
3. 58% will decorate their house in some way, even if it's just a pumpkin on the porch. 60% of people said they enjoy pumpkin carving.
4. 47% of adults said they like to dress up in costume for their own enjoyment. (I don't care if you like my costume. It's for ME, okay?)
5. 36% of people plan to dress their pets up this year.
6. 77% of adults feel nostalgic about trick-or-treating.
7. 40% of people polled said Halloween is their favorite holiday.
