This could be a country-specific problem here in Sweden. I am on the other side of it today:
I travelled abroad last week and bought a last-minute gift for the family on the way home: a box of sugary sweets. But nobody in the family wants to eat them.
They all have a fixed quota of sweets each week (Swedish lordagsgodis [1]) and so choosing candy to eat is a zero-sum game. This random confectionery didn't make the cut.
So into the bin they go. Seems a shame but I'm used to it by now.
