You might have wondered, but maybe you just didn't want to really know.
Don't avert your eyes. Here is one mom's calculation of what her daughter hauled home after trick-or-treating.
According to Anna Fader of Mommy Poppins, her little gumball machine daughter brought home a bag of about 80 separate candies.
That candy added up to a total calorie count of 7,238.
Kids are resilient, of course. But they would have to walk for 44 hours to burn off those extra calories.
