Yeah, why is it a fire sale on chocolate come Feb 15 but usually only 30% off the day after Halloween?

I swear the stores around here take the leftover candy and put it in the warehouse for next year. I’ve gone to assorted stores (Jewel, Walgreen’s CVS, etc) the day after holidays and the candy is pretty much gone. I find it hard to believe that so many people ran to get 50% off candy.
