A recent survey that was conducted by the American Dental Association and PopCap Games reveals some rather surprising insight on to the thought patterns that children have in association between Halloween, candy and cavities: kids would rather get a toy, like a free video game, or something else fun as opposed to candy that they know can contribute to tooth decay and the dreaded cavities. The survey was targeted to children between the ages of 5 and 13-years-old – the average age of the trick-or-treaters in the US. The questions revolved around Halloween, trick-or-treating and candy, as well as children’s views regarding this popular kid’s holiday.
