All the seasonal candy is made like half a year in advance. They can’t sell it after the holiday so it’s better for them to make and ship it early. That gives them a buffer time-wise. Imagine some delay and all the candy only hit stores after the holiday? Straight into the trash. Which is why you shouldn’t buy seasonal candy.
Comment on Easter can't come soon enough.

Wrong holiday, but how the hell is a brand new bag of Reese’s pumpkins already all chalky and stale? It’s not even Halloween, yet! Jesus didn’t die for you to give me not-fresh damn Reese’s! Fuck!

Okay, fair, but reese’s holiday versions are straight up better. Not in price per unit, those fucking suck, but the easter and christmas versions are way better than their normal ones. Maybe it’s just the ratio, or they put more sugar in or something, but I swear the trees/pumpkins/eggs are noticeably tastier.

Easy … because that’s the excess supply from last year being sold as new this year.

You’re lucky if it’s just from last year
