BEST HALLOWEEN CANDY FOR TRICK-OR-TREATERS, ACCORDING TO KIDS

To find out what candy is the best to hand out on Halloween night, Eater.com went straight to kids (* well, six kids, anyway; Way to research an article, Eater.com!) and asked them about their favorite candy to hoard well after October 31.The responses:
The Best Halloween Candy:
– Zaeem, age 11: “Full-size Twix or Hershey’s bar.”
– Sawyer, age 11: “Sour Patch Kids, because they’re really yummy.”
– Penny, age 7: “Candy corn, ’cause they taste really good.”
– Joey, age 10: “A king-size Crunch bar is the sign of a great house. Gummy Krabby Patties would also be good.”
– Musa, age 5: “Lollipops or Reese’s peanut butter cups.”
– Theo, age 10: “King-size Hershey’s, king-size anything!”
* I could have asked my goldfish and gotten a more definitive answer.
* Let me get this straight: they come up with a premise, “The Best Halloween Candy According To Trick-or-Treaters,” they ask six kids – probably half of them belong to the receptionist – they get absolutely no consensus, and they still go with the headline. Somebody has a local TV news reporter job in their future!
* Why not just call it, “Some kids remember the last candy they ate”?

The Worst Halloween Candy, According To Kids
– Zaeem: “The worst thing to pass out are toothbrushes and raisins.”
– Margot, age 7: “In my opinion, Warheads are the worst to give out because they are too sour and most kids don’t like them.”
– Sawyer: “100 Grand bars are awful. I got so many of them one Halloween and they tasted awful.”
– Kana, age 7: “Zombie Sour Patch Kids because they look weird and taste sour.”
– Joey: “Twizzlers or licorice sticks. They suck. No one likes them.”
– Miranda, age 11: “NEVER DENTAL FLOSS.”
– Elena, age 8: “Fruit, raisins, veggies. No one wants healthy stuff.”
– Aya, age 7: “Those candies that are hard and I don’t like them and I spit them in the trash.”
* Yes, but Aya – you DID put it in your mouth, so a good pollster would say you liked it.
* Zombie Sour Patch Kids taste sour? Who knew?
* And what’s up with that kids eating dental floss?
* Least favorite candy I used to get: left-over Easter peeps.
