'Candy slide' is here and Halloween is saved
Socially distant, sanitary and lots of fun.
As thoughts turn to fall, parents everywhere are wondering what will become of Halloween.
"My sister told me it was cancelled," said Jay Grenier of the YouTube team Wicked Makers.
So Grenier and his wife, Jaimie Nakae, decided to create the DIY "candy slide."
"You can't cancel a holiday," Grenier told "Good Morning America."
But you can change the way it's celebrated. In the interest of keeping germs to a minimum and maintaining social distance, the candy slide was born.
In a simple how-to-video shared by Wicked Makers with "GMA," the Austin, Texas, duo famous for their simple DIY projects, many Halloween-focused, show their audience how to construct the slide in 10 minutes.
"We wanted to make it super easy and accessible for anyone," Jaimie Nakae said. "Anyone can build this using a minimal amount of tools and materials easily found at Lowe's or Home Depot." A helpful diagram with measurements can be found on the Wicked Makers website.
The video, which has been viewed nearly 200,000 times, has Halloween enthusiasts everywhere thrilled, with many people thanking the duo for "saving" Halloween.
"People can enjoy the holiday within the guidelines," Nakae said.
