What brand did socially distanced Halloween best: Skittles smelly costume or Reese’s robot door?

Some brands are literally inventing contraptions to keep consumers who want to trick-or-treat during the pandemic safe.

To celebrate the return of Zombie Skittles, the brand created a costume that looks like its very own Zombie Skittles packs and is six-feet wide, encouraging passing humans to keep their distance. It also includes a Zombie Mode button hidden on the wrist that, when activated, releases the smell of rotten zombies to keep people away.

Meanwhile, Reese’s created a robotic Trick-or-Treat Door, which is able to traverse through neighborhoods on its own and dispense Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Yes, this is a robotic door. It’s also a hands-free way to get your fill of #Reeses Peanut Butter Cups this season. Want the door to come to you? Comment below with #ReesesDoor and tell us where to go next!
