Emergency sweet service launches in cities rated worst for Halloween treats

SWNS

An emergency sweet service has been created to help adults in cities where kids don’t rate the Halloween treats on offer.     A poll of 1,000 children aged six to 16 revealed Brighton is best for trick or treating, followed by Liverpool and Leeds – but Bristol, Birmingham, and London scored the lowest.     To help, HARIBO has partnered with delivery service Gopuff to launch ‘TreatLine’ [https://gopuff.onelink.me/xTqd/haribo], where adults can buy ‘Monsters Approved’ sweets such as Sour Skeletons from the app in a bid to improve their trick-or-treat rating.     Sweets will be free of charge on 31st October in the three lowest scoring locations – with over 24,000 mini bags available to offer a fair reward to trick or treaters.     It comes after the research revealed half of adults polled admitted to drawing the curtains to pretend they’re not in to avoid trick or treaters, with those in Bristol most likely to pull this trick.

00:00Happy Halloween!

00:06Kids all across the country are putting their hearts and souls into being spooky on Halloween.

00:13But new research reveals that grown-ups aren't doing their part.

00:16So today we're in London to find out why.

00:18And how we can help grown-ups with their monster spirit.

00:24Excuse me, do you like my costume?

00:26And I love your costume for Discipline Witch.

00:28I love the colours, I know you guys put in a lot of effort.

00:31Happy Halloween!

00:33What do you dress up as for Halloween?

00:36What do I dress up as?

00:37I used to dress up as a witch when I was younger, so that's probably my go-to one.

00:41Dracula's wife.

00:43I would probably dress up as a vampire.

00:46I think this is ideal.

00:49Why do you think parents are hiding from kids on Halloween?

00:52Some parents do that because I think they're boring.

00:54Do you hide?

00:57Oh dear.

00:58No, I don't actually, I'm quite open to them, I buy them sweets.

01:01I must admit I have done on certain occasions.

01:04What reason do you have for that?

01:06If I do give out a few treats, I run out.

01:09Bring back-ups next time.

01:10Good idea.

01:11I think you deserve some sweets.

01:13Oh, thank you so much.

01:14Oh, I like the hair, mate.

01:16Oh, a treat as well.

01:18I think you like Halloween, but you could do a little bit better of giving sweets to children.

01:22I promise I'll make more effort this year.

01:25I think you deserve some sweets.

01:26Oh, thank you.

01:31Grown-ups clearly need help getting their treats in order.

01:34But don't worry, we have a few tricks up our sleeves.

01:37Happy Halloween.
