In Spain there's a tradition to give out candy during The Wise Men parade. The town hall buys the candy, not the parents (socialism!), and they are mostly the cheapest ones because it's just for fun.
You can give out candy without turning it into competition and forcing everyone to spend money.
Who is having a competition π€£ you people just invent things to rage about
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 do know TV shows are idealized representations of life? Itβs not real.
