Good News - it's The Favorite Halloween Candy in each state

0:03 Callaroga Shok Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five Good News Halloween Stories. I wish I had thought of this bit earlier because it's so much fun to do, and I actually wish there were a lot more Halloween themed good news stories. Don't forget, I'm also doing five Good News Christmas Stories at its own feed and as a weekend episode on the main Five Good News Stories feed. All right, so you're like, Hey, I like chocolate, and I live in a particular state. What's the most popular chocolate in my state? A right, I'll give you a couple of headlines. First, we learned from USA Today that Mississippi shoppers couldn't get enough candy corn last year. So you're the people eating that.

0:48 Mississippi bought ninety two percent more candy corn than the national average. Now Nebraska, you guys, bought ninety one percent more. Hawaii is a little more seen. They bought the least amount of candy corn, or five percent less than the national average. Now you would think somebody would make a list. I wasn't able to find a list, but I was able to find a map. Let's start on the West coast in California, I'm enjoy number one NOVAA. Reese's got a whole block of Peena and M and M's. What is this Oregon, Idaho and Utah. We're testing Johnny Mack's state knowledge because it doesn't have the state names on this. It just has colors. But those three states I just mentioned, they like Peeda and M and M's. I'm not gonna do all fifty. Texas catches my eye. It's a rather a large state, and they're into the sour Patch kids.

1:32 Florida likes three Musketeers. Back here in New Jersey, M and M's, I might single handedly be driving that sour Patch kids in New York as well. Now I was born in New York. I'm from New York, and yeah, I disagree. I might have to move back home and up the M and M and contingent Maine. You guys are into TUTSI, pops, what's with that? This must this next thing must be regional because I'm seeing Wisconsin and Minnesota. You guys are into choquour dark chocolate which I probably pronounced wrong. And we'll get letters. I welcome your letters. I'd love to hear from you. I'll read them. Montana likes Kit Cat's. John you said you weren't gonna read all fifty I'm not Oklahoma likes Tosi Pops and Arkansas.

2:14 You might be the saanest of them all, you guys just like Hershey's Milk chocolate. Yeah. Well, good news. If you thought you had five Halloween stories and in the middle of reading your script you realize you never put anything in number two. So good news because the Count, you know, the guy from Sesame Street, he hooked you up with a story. Yes, thank you, Count. He's coming back to Sesame Place, which isn't too far from my house, and when my kids were young, was one of our favorite places. Like seriously, it was one of our favorite places to go. Now, as a fifty six year old man with no young children, it'd be a little weird if I were hanging out, So I'm not gonna be able to go see the Count. But if you've got kids, I love Sesame Place. The Count brought along some things, including the Count along Castle Halloween Maze. Guests are invited to count the winding hallways and the holy surprises that wait you inside. Count Von Count's not too scary Castle Maze, you know, so I won't be a that, but you might find me in Canton at the Factory of Terror, one of the largest indoor haunted houses in the world, recognized by Guinness World Records three times. The enormous haunt is more than a mile long and consists of four unique spine chilling attractions.

3:20 They are the Forsaken Asylum of Doctor Morbidius, the Industrial Nightmare, the Massacre on Mahoning, and the Abyss. Talented actors and performers are scattered throughout the lines to entertain patrons as you wait to get into each attraction. But before you even enter that, you can buy some beer at the Carnival Bar that's right after you get off the first line. This thing is huge. There's a second line, but you can get a quick refreshment at Poison Ivy's Greenhouse Bar. Now halfway through your tour, you can visit the French Quarter at the Factory. There you can get another beverage. And then there's the Forsaken Bar on Bourbon, which is a New Orleans themed kind of spooky thing. So now you've had four drinks, you can enjoy the highly detailed and elaborate sets and the over one hundred and thirty actors and staff. All Right, if those type of beverages aren't your thing and you just want some coffee, Starbucks is hooking it up. They have a lineup of collectible drink wear for Halloween. They include the Nighttime Cauldron Tumbler that'll only run you fifteen bucks, The Midnight Glow in the Dark Cold Cup with moth straw toperor twenty four ounces that'll only run you twenty nine to ninety five.

4:29 It's a jet black cold cup with a prism texture. It transforms into an eerie green in the dark and includes a moth straw topper, again only twenty nine ninety five. Also at that price point, the Onyx Tumbler with moth Charm. That one's only sixteen ounces, but it's the perfect carrier for a hot beverage on a windy fall day. And then there's the Amethyst Ooz Glow in the Dark Cold Cup. That one's twenty four ounces. That one runs you at twenty three dollars. Did you hear the Queen's accent? I dropped the g I heard it. I'm leaving it in. Make any ice beverage even more chilling with this purple cold cup that also glows blue in the dark. Now, this one is exclusively at Starbucks, in airports, grocery stores, hospitals, colleges, universities, and more. So you're gonna have to hunt for that one. You're gonna earn that one. And let's take another look at the knockoff costumes. You may remember last time I started to giggle when I clicked on creepy Husband. Now creepy Husband has a John Aston style mustache, is holding a cigar, and it's a pinstripe suit. I'm going to guess that Creepy Husband's favorite president is Adams. You know, there was John Adams and John Quincy Adams. They were the Adams family, by the way. But this is not that at all. This is creepy Husband. Next up we have the Blue Gnome Father. You know, a little blue creature, say like three apples high, with a beard and a red hat. This isn't that at all. This appears to be just a dad in a light blue shirt and regular pants. So if you're confusing with some sort of cartoon, you are wrong. This is a legally distinct Blue Gnome Father.

6:00 Now I've mentioned earlier what candy I'm a fan of This is not that at all. This is the chocolate MM. And if you're like, how do you spelled M john, you spell it mmmmm. So there's five ms there. This is a chocolate MM which should not be confused with anything that would have a trademark on it. This is not that at all. This is just a round thing that you wear around you. It doesn't even have an M on it. It has a smiley face because it is a chocolate MM. And you know I told you last week about the green shirted plumber guy. I was right. There's red plumber guy. This guy has a mustache, probably enjoys pasta. It's probably been to Venice in Rome a couple times. This is red plumber guy from your favorite video game or not. Actually, it's not at all. It's just a guy in jungerease T shirt and a hat who has a mustache. I don't know what you think it is. It's legally distinct. And do you like superheroes?

6:52 Remember when you were a kid, you'd watch they were friends and there was like the super Guy and the bat Guy, and one of the guys, of course was aqua Hero. Yes, the super hero from the ocean, the famous aqua hero who is legally distinct and should not be confused with anyone else in the world. And those are your five good news Halloween stories. Don't forget there's also regular five good news stories and five good news Christmas stories, and you can find all this in the main five Good News Stories feed. You have an awesome day.
