A family in Pennsylvania have created a 'candypult' for Halloween.

Vince Mak and his loved ones came up with the device to launch treats for revellers whilst maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He told WPMT-TV: "We thought we could try to come up with a creative way to throw candy at kids... safely.
"With everything going on, everyone just needs to feel happy and find something to laugh at."
The invention has had downsides for the family, as they will need to buy more sweets this year so they can utilise the creation.
Mak said: "I guess we'll have to get extra candy this year."
