  Speaker 3: the U.S. right now, it's based on recent sales and survey. Okay.

  Speaker 3: Twix is at the end.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, see, I would put Twix higher.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Twix and Kit Kat are my top two.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Kit Kat and Twix are in there. No, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that's not your top two. Because yesterday, off the air,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you told us what your number one candy is.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, hold on. We have a guess here.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I just want to guess Billy's favorite Halloween candy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: It's probably something like black licorice or dots.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Something no one else likes.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Ooh, okay.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Bill?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Neither ever.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, those are on the worst candy list.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: What did I say was my number one yesterday?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: You said.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Would you like me to reveal it?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: He likes malted milk balls.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: Since I was a kid, remember I told you I
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: had the variety store in Cambridge. The owner had no thumbs,
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: but he had a big penny candy section, and we
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: would go in there as young, young kids and hit
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: up all kinds of penny candy, and I filled the
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: bag only with malted milk balls.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: That is such a Billy answer.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Malted milk balls?
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: My two favorites in the world would be- It's a
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: toss-up between malted milk balls and chocolate-covered raisins.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, raisinets.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, raisinets. Yeah, those are good.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, those aren't that bad.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: He was asking me questions about candy this morning. Chocolate-covered
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: pretzels were candy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Is that considered candy?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, no.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Producer Riley's shaking her head.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I don't really think so.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Chocolate-covered strawberries, is that considered a candy?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: No. No.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I like those, too.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Sour Patch Kids.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Never. Never.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: That's candy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not big on sour.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I love Sour Patch Kids. I love all gummy candies.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Gummy worms.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, nothing gummy.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Wait, at least, before we get to the worst list,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the M & M' s, does it say chocolate or peanut butter?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Does it specify?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: It didn't say.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: It did not specify.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: See, I only like the peanuts.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: M & M' s. Oh, they are good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I don't like the regular ones. I'm just saying. What's
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: on the worst list? Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Tootsie Rolls is number one. Candy Corn is number two.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Necco Wafers. It's a local company.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, number three.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: We used to go to the Necco factory in Cambridge
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: when it was there.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Good and Plenty.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, I don't like those.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like it either. It's licorice covered in hard candy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Smarties.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: What's a Smartie? Smarties are like always the last one
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: left in the goodie bag.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Or even the trick-or-treating bag.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: What is a Smartie?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You know, the little round candies that come in the pack,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: the little plastic.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I actually kind of like them.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like them.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I'm like the one person who likes them.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: They're always left behind.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Licorice.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Okay. Bit of honey.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Ugh. That'll pull your dentures out.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Candy buttons like that talk backer.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, you remember the strips of paper with all the little– Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: that's what they are.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Those are whack.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And Mary Janes. I've never even heard of a Mary Jane.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Like weed?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: No, there's a Mary Jane.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: I think it was similar to the bit of honey.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: What was number one?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They were rivals.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Tootsie Rolls.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: That's never been my thing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: They used to have the big Tootsie Roll. Remember Wrapped?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It was like a– Yeah. It was like a full
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: candy bar, but it was all Tootsie Roll.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember. And then, remember Charleston Chews?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, never big on that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Right down here on Route 16.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Marshmallow, stale marshmallow covered in chocolate.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: You like malted milk balls.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: That is just so random.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Malted milk ball.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, it's one of the best candy creations ever.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: But now they have the miniature ones that come in
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: a little pack called the Whoppers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Not the same.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Whoppers are like– Not the same.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Well, they're packaged in when you buy the multi-pack to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: give out for Halloween.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: They always throw those in, and I always throw them away.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah. By the way, Halloween trick-or-treating, stop with the little packs, okay?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Serve full candy bars.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're left behind.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, favorite candy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I can't even buy it and put it in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: house because it will be gone before the kids get here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Without a doubt, Snickers. Love those little suckers. Happy Halloween.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: When I tried the Snickers live on the air.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Your tooth fell out. Your tooth came right out.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I will never forget that day.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: As long as I live. It wasn't a tooth.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: It was a crown.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, I'm like, well.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: There's something weird in this Snickers bar.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It was shocking.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It was my crown.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Like live on the radio. It was.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, because you were forcing me to eat it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: I know. Because, you know, you've always been against candy.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: With the candy. Here, put on another 20 pounds. Who cares?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We're getting married. Yeah, that's going down tonight. I mean, bags.

  Speaker 1: You understand? Humanity tonight will have giant.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Bags of candy and secretly consuming the full bag.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember Riley trick-or-treating. Literally, his bag was empty
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: by the time he got back.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He was just shoving it in his mouth as he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: going from house to house.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The good news for us is the game six of
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the World Series is on at 8.30. Oh, yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: So trick-or-treating, eat all the candy. He doesn't have to

  Speaker 5: go to bed. We can stay up and watch the
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: World Series.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: So, I don't know.

  Speaker 1: It's like, what is it with us?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: You can gorge on your malted milk balls.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: And then it's followed up by Thanksgiving where you have
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: giant plates of food.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You never do that on a normal basis.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: All right. Let's change the mood here. Let's go to
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Sherry and Drake and see what she has to say.
