TikToker and mom KC Davis explained how she lets her kids decide on their own intake of Halloween candy—and sparked a debate about her methods.

A mom on TikTok launched quite the discussion after revealing she lets her kids eat however much Halloween candy they desire after trick-or-treating.

Her argument?


It will all be gone in a few days, anyway.

TikToker and mom KC Davis (@domesticblisters) took to the platform to address the many Halloween candy advice videos she's seen about regulating children's post-door-to-door intake.

Her strategy, however, was to not have one: Let the kids eat the candy.

Davis began:

"So, as a parent, I think really intentionally about parenting choices, and so here's what we do when it comes to trick-or-treat candy..."

She continued:

"We do take our children trick-or-treating, and we go for a while and they get big, huge buckets of candy."
"We get home and we allow them to eat as much candy as they want on Halloween night, and then when they wake up in the morning, we allow them to eat as much as they want that next day."

Davis then explained:

"We just keep doing that until the candy's gone."
"I have never seen more people afraid of f**king two-three days of candy before in my life. Good god, people."
"What is going on?"

The TikToker went on:

"Just let them binge on candy for three days and then it's gone."
"What is happening? They'll be fine."

She also added:

"I'm going to eat fistfuls of it after they go to bed, anyway."
"It's only gonna last three days. It's gonna be fine."

Easy to remember easy to implement


While several in the comments acknowledged that Davis' strategy is wildly different than the parameters set on their stash growing up, many agreed with her take.

Several also noted the benefits of not extending sugar intake over several months.

And those who did grow up without Halloween candy restrictions added their input, as well.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
