What is the best way to catch candy at a parade?

Question

I have heard of many different alternatives... once I was in an apartment on the second story and a baseball team walked by and threw candy up to me. It hit my grandma in the head. I've heard of nets, buckets, bags, and just sweeping it up with brooms and a dustpan. Your opinion?

Answer 1

Bring a gun... totally kidding!!!  I'd say a huge net.

Answer 2

Stand in the front where usually the little kids stand, and possibly carry a purse or bag to shove the candy in after catching ha ha! Much of the candy lands on the floor but if its wrapped, it should be all good!
