One homeowner decided to be the MVP of the neighborhood by handing out full-size candy bar, a rare and glorious gift in the trick-or-treat economy.

But when some kids started grabbing extras and one adult insisted a child should get two, the homeowner held firm.

Now they’re wondering if limiting each kid to one full-size bar makes them the Halloween Grinch.

AITA for only passing out one candy bar per kid?

I’m passing out full size candy bars to trick-or-treaters for Halloween tonight.

I let them pick one bar each.

A few kids have tried to take two (without asking), some kids asked for two. I said no, just so i don’t run out too quickly.

Fair.

One kid (around 10ish) tries to take multiple full size bars, and I tell her just one per person.

The male adult with her gets sparky and says, “can’t she have two?”

I again say “just one per person, happy Halloween.”

Did I stutter?

He got huffy and walked away without saying anything else, like he was angry I was being mean or something.

Like if I were passing out fun size or something, I would do like a handful of pieces each, but I’m handing out FULL size bars.

So AITA for telling kids only one full size candy bar per kid?

>Most Redditors pointed out that full-size bars are the treat, and setting a one-per-kid rule is more than fair, especially if you want enough for every trick-or-treater.

This person understands completely and sides with the poster.

This person suggests not even letting them choose.

And this person says the real rudeness is a grown adult trying to strong-arm someone into giving extra candy meant for kids.

One bar each is generous…grabby goblins (and their grouchy grown-ups) can boo-hoo elsewhere.
