  • Summary

  • Did you ever stop to think about why we give out candy on Halloween? What's the history behind this fun and sugary custom? In our latest episode, we're peeling back the Halloween Candy corn husk to reveal the juicy kernels of truth. What started in the late 1940s as a well-intentioned gimmick to keep kids out of mischief has since transformed into a massive industry. Unbelievably, we now shell out a whopping $3.1 billion annually on Halloween treats – just to put that into perspective, that's as much as NASA's annual expenditure on the International Space Station.


    But what kind of candy really gets the kids excited? While Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, M&Ms, and Skittles are the top sellers, we wanted to cut through the marketing and hear straight from the ultimate candy experts - the trick-or-treaters themselves. As Chuck takes off on a Halloween adventure, co-host Billy steps in to share the downright adorable and laugh-out-loud funny responses from our miniature interviewees. Which candy is the reigning champ of Halloween? Will it be your favorite? Tune in for these tasty tidbits and much more, as we serve up a Halloween episode that's sweeter than any candy.
