Candy, Drinks

I read a few articles on the worst Halloween candies. Some of the stuff I came across was a real shocker so I thought I'd share the cold facts with everyone:



3 small Reese's = more sugar than a glazed doughnut.



1/2 pack of Skittles = more sugar than two scoops of ice-cream.



9 fun size Twizzlers = more calories than a Wendy's Double Stack.



Butterfinger fun size = 130 calories. Worst "fun size" candy.



3 Musketeers fun size = 41 calories. Best "fun size" candy.




1 can of soda = 2 Hershey's chocolate bars.




Average lollipop = 70 to 140 calories. (DumDums are 77!)



Dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa) = less calories than milk chocolate.
Healthier too since it has: less fat, more flavonoids (helps your blood and arteries,) and epicatechin (prevents strokes and increases brain function.)

If you want to continue scaring yourself out of eating anything too bad for Halloween check out this list of drinks and their equivalents. Here's one example out of the twenty that they give you:



1 Rockstar = 6 Krispie Kreme Glazed Doughnuts!
And I was scared of some boba?
