As a result we have leftover candy. I got 3 Musketeer bars, "fun size" as our primary give away candy, Milky Way's for my wife and Kit Katt's for me. There were also a few Hershey bars for both of us.

I also take issue with the "fun size" idea. A one bite candy bar has limited fun potential. The ones we got for us had substantially more fun packaged into them.

My wife is a young adult librarian, so she can take some of the candy to work and put it out for the pages. That means the adult staff will make short work of it. The pages will have to be quick.
