The Candy Conundrum

So, apparently yesterday Jonathan Franzen (author of high-brow literachure! Oprah Book Pick – the first time he spurned her, but her love would not be denied!), met with Barack Obama (who's a fan!).


It's robo-call voting season again! I love the callerid on these things. "TELE TOWN HALL," "NAME UNAVAILABLE," and best of all "ANONYMOUS." I want to vote for Anonymous. Will he unmask himself to be on my ballot, or dear League of Women Voters, Can I vote for anonymous? I wanna vote for Anonymous!

Hello, my name is Anonymous, will you vote for Me?



And today's big conundrum, what's the best Halloween candy? According to David

NG and Ben Cohen
, the top of the candy hierarchy is Caramellos, Milky Way, Snickers, Rolos and Twix. I have issues. Carmellos? Seriously? Seriously?? And Twix? Twix? Twix are like …. dog bones to me. In my candy-coated opinion, "Regular old Hershey Bars" (relegated to Post-Tertiary) are Top. Tier. Without Question.

Whoppers are the Best!




And Whoppers (Second Tier) do not "blow." They are classic. They are timeless. They crunch. They are chocolate. There. Is. No. Blowing. (WARNING: DO NOT GOOGLE WHOPPERS, especially in conjunction with Blowing.)

They put Nerds in the Bottom Tier, and geez, is anyone surprised that I love Nerds? I know, it's a weakness, my Nerd-love, but there it is. And I love the Candy Corn (technically Autumn Mix, which contains, not only the candy corn with brown stripes, but also pumpkins, which should be eaten in parts).

Pumpkins are Best Eaten in Parts



Today's question: What is your top tier in Halloween Candy, what are the dregs? And your worst Halloween candy ever? (dental toothbrushes here).
