I do this with lychee candies from my local Indian grocer, and every pocket I can wiggle one into without the owner noticing. Thankfully they are quite small, and come in completely sealed little wrappers (so no humidity melting).

Or when the server brings the check I’ll give them a candy, like they often do.

Spreading joy one random sugar hit at a time. Not even 40 but totally understand the impulse.
