Mom predicts economic collapse in sons Halloween candy haul:Recession indicator

A disheartened Midwestern mother has packaged proof of the funeral pyre that is the US economy.In a recent TikTok video, Danielle Martin, a physical therapist and mother of two, shared her shocking discovery.

“Look at what I found going through my son’s Halloween candy from his trunk-or-treat over the weekend,” she teased before revealing the sad sight of an individually wrapped gummy bear.For the uninitiated and/or the childless, trunk-or-treat is an alternative to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating that sees the youth soliciting candy by going from car to car in a designated parking lot.

“One single, individually wrapped gummy bear.It’s all you get—one gummy,” Martin underscored, calling the single plastic-wrapped bear a recession indicator.

“A true sign of how horrible our current economy is,” Martin surmised.Typically, gummy bears, even those packaged for Halloween, come with at least 5 to 7 mini cubs per pack.In her caption, Martin added the rallying cry, “Bring me more bears.”The clip has been viewed nearly 340,000 times since she posted it last week.The comments section was rife with outrage.

“The inevitable result of maximizing profits and minimizing overhead.I guess private equity bought gummy bears,” speculated one viewer.

“The audacity to label it ‘gummy bears’ plural,” added another.“It’s actually more expensive to package them this way,” said a third.“Remember in the 90s we had to go back to the car to switch out our loot bags because the candy was too heavy? I’m so sad for today’s kids,” reminisced a sad Millennial.

“Been waiting my whole life to be the whole chocolate bar house.We now make 200K combined and can’t afford to be that house,” added another.

“I would make sure that’s not an adult gummy,” cautioned another.A fellow parent shared that they too have previewed the end times courtesy of individually wrapped Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids.
