I only know it from pop culture and online comments but in TV shows everyone wants to be the "house that gives out good candy" and people often brag about investing in better candy. So I don't know, maybe most people don't care but the concept of a competition is definitely out there.
You don't have to watch TV shows to know this, literally check out any US-centric halloween subreddit or facebook page to see the evidence for yourself.
It's common sense, and OP's username checks out.
Yeah, remember that those tv shows are advertisements in and of themselves. No one cares about the house with the best candy aside from a few kids that are happy.
You do know TV shows are idealized representations of life? It’s not real.
