The Best Trick Or Treat Candy’s From…..

You could hoof around neighborhoods aimlessly or follow this simple tip to score big this Halloween!

If you think about it, the best candy is gonna be from those able to afford good candy.  Honestly, do you think you'll get much more than butterscotch and Smarties from po' folks like me?  NOPE.  So am I implying the best candy's in the "richy-rich" neighborhoods? Also, NOPE.

Turns out, the best candy in all the land will be from those in a specific age group; 50-68 to exact.  If you play by the numbers, these guys have the trick-or-treat tri-fecta!  And a spokeswoman from the National Confectioners Association(yeah, that's really a thing) breaks it down:

1.  They're the first generation to celebrate Halloween the way we still do today(trick or treating!)

2. They've got grandparent instincts!  They buy the good stuff and lots of it!

3. They probably don't have kids of they need to take out trick or treating anymore, and they're probably not heading out to parties or bars.  They'll BE HOME to hand it out!!!

There you have it, the highest probability for the best candy.  So remember ol' Mrs Wilson the next time she yells at you to get off her lawn; soon you'll be able to walk all over her grass and she'll be handing out better treats than that 32 year old hippy that gave you granola!
