Oh, Halloween candy. Isn’t it just the best?

WACO, Texas – You've heard the saying, that is everything is bigger in Texas? That’s even true for candy. A plant in Waco -- that makes Snickers, M and M’s and Skittles -- has beaten the Guinness World Record for the largest Snickers bar. The bar weighs nearly 4.5 tons. It is the equivalent of more than 43,000 single-size Snickers bars, including more than 1,200 pounds of caramel, peanuts and nougat combined and nearly 3,500 pounds of chocolate.

The candy bar company took to social media to tell America that if the government officially changed the date of Halloween to the last Saturday of October, it would offer 1 million Snickers to Americans everywhere. If the Fed Govt makes it official, well offer 1 million free SNICKERS to America. https://t.co/EycXXuc0tB SNICKERS (@SNICKERS) July 26, 2019The petition has over 138,000 signatures, just a couple thousand short of its goal. Most of the support for the petition has to do with increasing the safety and fun on Halloween night. As for Snickers, some people called the company out on social media, saying they were supportive of the petition so they could sell more candy on a weekend Halloween night, with some vowing to boycott the candy bars.
