With October creeping around the corner, DIY YouTubers Wicked Makers released an amusing and informative how-to video, teaching how to make a genius candy slide that allows people to stay six feet away from any trick-or-treaters while still filling their baskets.

What about the fact that the people giving out the candy while being distanced are still touching the packets and then kids are touching those packets

Exactly. Not to mention how many kids are going to want to touch the display and tube.

People who care enough about the health of others to come up with a solution like this are probably pretty good hand-washers. Or maybe they'll wear gloves.

The people giving the candy could simply wear gloves

It's certainly preferable to launching candy at kids with a sling shot (kidding). If I didn't live in bear country, I'd leave the candy on a table outside in individual baggies, put in a few pieces per bag with a note letting people know it was handled while wearing gloves. But seeing as there was a bear outside my window just last week, this wouldn't be a good idea.

That's exactly what I plan on doing and if we do let our daughter go out, she will put all her candy in one bag and then I'm sticking that bag in the freezer for a week.

If you can go to the supermarket you can go trick or treating. Seriously. Don't be stupid. But it is a cool candy slide. I'd be willing to do something similar

If picking up groceries at the store and bringing them home and unpacking them is safe, it does seem like passing out candy would be safe too, if the people are all wearing masks and gloves, and doing it outside. I mean like being out on the driveway or yard in the front, or something. If we can eat together outdoors, we should be able to trick or treat outdoor right?
