A huge "thank-you" shoutout to Zack Zwiezen and Ethan Gach from the website kotaku.com for their deep dive into the best and worst Halloween candy ever! Before we begin, you should know that at the age of six in 1957, my mother, who I'm sure meant well, dressed me up as a "RUSSIAN PEASANT WOMAN," complete with waaaay too much lipstick.
