Here’s a neat trick if you happen to run out of Halloween treats.
M&M’s wants to make sure that everyone has an ample supply of candy this year by launching their first-ever Halloween Rescue Squad, which promises to restock your sweets free of charge.
Mars, the parent company for the colorful chocolate morsels, recently commissioned a survey showing that about half of American households are concerned they might run out of candy for Halloween — and 89% fessed up to consuming too many of the confections themselves before it came time to give away to costumed kiddos.
“The Halloween season is expanding, and enthusiasm is driving consumers to shop earlier and more frequently,” Tim LeBel, President of Sales and Chief Halloween Officer at Mars Wrigley, said in a press release.
“As the authority on Halloween, we plan for the season years in advance to ensure we satisfy shoppers’ needs. From our first ever M&M’S Halloween Rescue Squad to new product innovations, we’re doing everything we can to inspire more moments of everyday happiness this season.”
M&M’s is teaming up with Gopuff to refill your sugary stash in just 30-to-60 minutes, while supplies last, in any region where the food delivery company operates.
And there’s no need to download the Gopuff app. Candy-slinging shoppers can simply log in to the Rescue Squad website to place the refill order.
“The scariest part of Halloween? Running out of M&M’s,” their website states. “If your candy bowl needs a refill, M&M’s Halloween Rescue Squad will deliver free M&M’s straight to your door in under an hour.”
You can order the free emergency M&M’s on the official website.
The Rescue Squad will be on call beginning at 3 p.m. on Oct. 31.
