M&M’s will dispatch free Halloween emergency ‘Rescue Squad’ to refill your candy bowl

Here’s a neat trick if you happen to run out of Halloween treats.

M&M’s wants to make sure that everyone has an ample supply of candy this year by launching their first-ever Halloween Rescue Squad, which promises to restock your sweets free of charge.

Mars, the parent company for the colorful chocolate morsels, recently commissioned a survey showing that about half of American households are concerned they might run out of candy for Halloween — and 89% fessed up to consuming too many of the confections themselves before it came time to give away to costumed kiddos.

“The Halloween season is expanding, and enthusiasm is driving consumers to shop earlier and more frequently,” Tim LeBel, President of Sales and Chief Halloween Officer at Mars Wrigley, said in a press release

“As the authority on Halloween, we plan for the season years in advance to ensure we satisfy shoppers’ needs. From our first ever M&M’S Halloween Rescue Squad to new product innovations, we’re doing everything we can to inspire more moments of everyday happiness this season.”

M&M’s is teaming up with Gopuff to refill your sugary stash in just 30-to-60 minutes, while supplies last, in any region where the food delivery company operates.

And there’s no need to download the Gopuff app. Candy-slinging shoppers can simply log in to the Rescue Squad website to place the refill order.

“The scariest part of Halloween? Running out of M&M’s,” their website states. “If your candy bowl needs a refill, M&M’s Halloween Rescue Squad will deliver free M&M’s straight to your door in under an hour.”

Stupid idea. Who wants a refill of that BS candy in the 1st place? Kit Kat, Peanut Butter Cups, Krackle Bars ok. M&M’s suck

I no longer do the Halloween thing. But when I did, I always kept a couple of rolls of quarters handy. If I ever ran out of candy (it only happened twice), I’d give each trick-or-treater 50 cents.

Trying to overcome their many boycotts for things like vaccine mandate firings and homosexual agenda.

Here in the Phoenix AZ area, a good alternative is to hand out cool drinks — juice boxes, Capri Sun, Hug Barrels, water bottles, etc.

I'd rather get Oh Henry or Twix bars, myself.

My mother also kept quarters in case of running out of candy.

My funny halloween story, is that I had a paper bag with a pumpkin on it, it was a drizzly night, and when I was done trick or treating, the bags bottom fell out and I lost half the candy stash down a storm drain.

After Biden’s inflation that’s at least a full buck now.

“Gopuff.. Sounds like a company that delivers marijuana.”

At the very least a great name for a company that delivers marijuana and munchies..
