Displaying out-of-season candy anywhere within the home is a considerable mistake in the domestic world.
Candy wrappers with purple, pink, and pastel hues are great for the early spring and Easter holiday weekend, but after April, toss them out.
Halloween candy is touchier, since the wrappers are generally of normal coloring, but it's generally tacky to have bowls of Halloween candy out past Thanksgiving. Make sure to take out all the mystery candies (smushed amorphous globs wrapped in orange paper, etc.) that the geriatrics tend to hand out, too. No one wants to eat anything they can't identify.
Christmas candy, particularly wrapped in festive golds, greens and reds, should be tossed promptly after New Years Day celebrations, or at least wrapped up and relegated to the pantry.
Unwrapped candy, such as M&Ms, have a much shorter shelf life than wrapped candies and should be changed/replaced every week.
When in doubt, stick with peppermints, as their shelf life is practically eternal, and they're always in demand.
