Everybody has got one, well two actually. A most favorite and a least favorite Halloween treat. Do you go bonkers for Butterfinger? Break yourself a piece of that Kit Kat bar? Scream at the sight of Smarties? Get enraged by raisins? Well last week the Huffington Post proclaimed in an article that they were going to settle a long-standing, highly debated topic that comes up every year—which Halloween candy outshines the rest and which ones are the bottom of the barrel.
They declared definitive list of the Top 10 Best Halloween Candies and the Top 10 Worst Halloween Candies. I had to call them “treats” since I could never quite stomach calling a pencil candy even if I found them in my trick-or-treating pumpkin pail when growing up. With this all-powerful list in hand I thought it might be interesting to see just how much buzz these treats were buzzing up in the online social sphere for the week wrapping around the holiday where sugar-highs were peaking.
The iconic Halloween tradition, candy corn, took top buzz honors with the most mentions even though it sits squarely in the Worst category. What do you think of their list? Did the Huffington Post get the top 10’s right? Surprised at how much or little buzz there was for your favorite? Did your favorite or least favorite miss the list? Tell us! We’d love to hear from you.
