A Colorado Springs dental practice has set up a program giving children a financial incentive to part with their post-Halloween sugar supply. Blue Springs Family Dental launched what it calls Operation Candy Buy Back, through which kids can exchange their Halloween candy for money.
The office said children who bring in their Halloween candy can receive payment of up to five dollars, calculated at one dollar per pound.
The source document does not include details about the program's end date, the destination of the collected candy, or any additional context about participation requirements. Those details, along with any further information the practice may release about the program's outcomes, remain to be reported.
