an actually fun fact about: daylight savings

less sunlight all for a sweet lil treat?! i guess we can get behind that :)

Daylight savings time (DST) once influenced candy sales in the U.S.! In 1986, candy manufacturers lobbied for an extension of DST into early November, hoping to boost Halloween candy sales by giving kids an extra hour of daylight to trick-or-treat safely. This push was successful, and by 2007, the U.S. officially extended DST through the first Sunday in November, a period that now includes Halloween. So, DST isn't just about saving energy or adjusting clocks—it even has a bit of "sweet" history tied to it!
