Sweets are given to the passangers before the plane takes off the ground?

Basically, when the plane takes off, you gain altitude very quickly. This gain in altitude causes a decrease in pressure because the weight of the atmosphere above you decreases. The inner ear is highly sensitive to pressure changes and when the pressure around you drops, the pressure being exerted from the inside of your ears will be greater than that around you causing your ear drums to 'pop'. The action of swallowing and sucking on the sweet will constantly force your ear drums open so that you will constantly equalize the pressure inside and outside your ear.
