I'm not a parent but I always thought this prank was a good indication of how your kid deals with disappointment. Being upset is probably baseline normal, being cool with it is ideal and being violent says that you need to focus on the way they react to things.

How do parents feel about it?
I think it's stupid and cruel, and no, it is not a good indication of anything valuable about your child's character.
I never understood the attraction of this “prank.” Why embarrass your children on national television? It’s cruel, unfunny and shows there’s no depth some parents wont stoop to to be on television.
Hmmm, interesting to hear from parents. As a viewer, I see it as a warning sign of things to come when you have kids getting violent or breaking things.

It isn't a warning sign. You, as the parent, are the person your child is supposed to trust more then anyone else on earth. "Pranking" them is abusive to your power. Maybe its a good "test" to see how your child reacts to being hurt dearly by someone they love and trust with their lives.
You never prank or lie to your kids? What about parents who pretend they threw away toys bc the room isn't cleaned? Is that different bc it's a consequence for behavior?
I guess I can understand why people think it's cruel bc candy means so much to kids. It doesn't last long but I can see intentionally upsetting the kids isn't the best thing ever.
