Happy Halloween! It's time to DECIDE!

Happy Halloween!  It's time to DECIDE!

What are we saying? Checkout the numbers as the WORLD weighs in! But did YOU predict Kit Kat and Peanut Butter Cups? Who you got? 


Here are some key takeaways as you stare at your Halloween Candy Bowl today and cast your final vote. 


Kit Kat is edging out Peanut Butter Cups as the MOST popular (the most votes in all the rounds).   BUT Peanut Butter Cups got by far the most votes for CHAMPION in people's brackets before the Tournament started. 


What will that mean for the end?  We don't know.  But we'll find out in a few hours.  But here's some things we DO know:


The Candy Corn Debate - We've settled it.  People are split.  In people's brackets, Candy Corn actually outpaced candies like DOTS. However, when it came down to voting, it didn't make it past the first round.  DOTS crushed it with 60% of the vote.  


Takeaway:  Candy Corn is a show horse.  People like to claim they like it, and rub it in your face.  But when it counts and they have to pull that lever, they run from it like they're fleeing a burning building. 


The NUMBERS SO FAR   


- 7 of the top 10 are chocolate (Reese's Pieces don't actually have chocolate, so they don't count). 


- Peanuts make a strong compliment - 4 out of 10 have peanuts or peanut buttery stuff. 


- Sugar Candies just crack the top 10 - (Skittles and Nerds at 9&10).  Not much love for  the licorice and lollipops/sucker crews. 


- Caramel lovers broke through with Twix and Snickers.  Many Bracket Breaker users thought 100 Grand deserved better - but hey, they need to get out the vote next time.


(note - many users may have chosen M&Ms due to the Caramel or Peanut  M&M - so those numbers may be sneaky low - so we don't recommend caramel divestiture from your portfolio quite yet). 

Takeaway: Chocolate dominates.  But Chocolate with STUFF in it, is KING.
