Candy

This may be the most revolutionary thing to happen to the confectionery industry since someone put a stick at the end of a sucker and called it a lollipop.

I'm always looking for excuses to get a survey on the website - so you can get more points. I see what I do on the air as a way of conversing with you - but most of the time it's just me talking. So with our surveys, I ask, and you answer.

According to a new study, if you want to eat Reese's out of your kid's trick-or-treating haul, get on it.  Reese's, Snickers, M&M's, and Twix are the first to get eaten . . . Krackel, Jolly Ranchers, Nestle Crunch, and Baby Ruth are last.

Every day I put up a new survey for our Enquiring Minds question. I'm always trying to think of new topics to get your brain working, and we can interact a little bit together!

It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween, judging by the way supermarkets and discount stores have already dedicated aisles to costumes, decorations and naturally, candy.

Okay, folks.  Halloween has come and gone.  Let's be real here: you know and I know that the candy is SUPPOSED to be for the kids.  But come on, now.  Just as well as I'm sitting here I know that you're not going to let that candy go to waste.  And I know it can be hard to look at those sweet, confused little faces when those kids ask, "Where's my candy?"

Trick-or-treating may be on the damp side tonight (Oct. 31) with the rain we've received, but there are plenty of Halloween activities still happening. Here is a look at some of the activities planned in the area for kids to do in addition to door-to-door trick-or-treating.
