Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack, and Halloween is just around the corner.
Speaker A:And there's an online betting site that has crunched the numbers to try to predict whether your children will get different types of candy on Halloween.
Speaker A:And I love this.
Speaker A:This is hilarious.
Speaker A:I'm a nerd, so I really appreciate this.
Speaker A:They took statistics from Instacart, Door Dash and other places where you can buy candy online and the statistics are available.
Speaker A:Then they looked at things like population density to try to figure out how many houses the average trick or treater are going to hit.
Speaker A:Here are the 10 most popular, most desired Halloween candies and the odds of getting at least one of them on Halloween night.
Speaker A:These are the top 10.
Speaker A:And coming in at number 10, Gummy Bears, 33% Twix.
