New ADA Survey on Kids, Candy, and Halloween

A survey was recently conducted by the ADA and PopCap Games to gauge the perception of Halloween among kids ages 5 to 13 throughout the U.S. Overall, they found some very interesting results, which are as follows:
  • 94% participate in trick-or-treating
  • 65% think Halloween is the best holiday of the year
  • 66% agree that they eat too much candy during Halloween
  • 89% said they would still like the holiday if it was not “candy-focused”
  • 93% would prefer a video game instead of candy while trick-or-treating
  • 71% think dressing up is one of the best parts about Halloween
  • 66% also think “getting lots of candy” is another great part about Halloween
  • 78% agree with the statement that “too much candy is bad for me”
  • 67% report that they eat too much candy throughout the Halloween season
  • 42% worry they’ll get cavities from eating too much candy on Halloween
