All experienced (or retired) trick-or-treaters know the difference between a good treat and bad one. But no McCarty has attempted to rate the Halloween booty. The closest any McCarty ever came to scaring up a Halloween candy rating system was when Mom McCarty separated the penny candy from the nickel candy.
Here is my attempt to fill this ratings gap, using a scale of four pumpkins (excellent, gotta-have candy) to one (aargh, wouldn’t give it to a ghoul).
Also: three pumpkins (good) and two (so-so, wanna trade?).
. | Item | Rank | Comments | | | | | Bite-size Tootsie Rolls |   | But the full-sizers merit a full 3. | | Junior Mints | | Adults who give these are cool | | Candy Corn | | Ghastly stuff, but kids wind up with a silo full every year | | Potato chips | | Those little bags are mostly air. Only redeeming value: salt | | Campaign or UNICEF literature | ..

. | Only thing worse than candy corn. | | Three Musketeers | | Don’t forget to say “thank you.” | | Smarties | | A welcome sour taste to all that sugar-sugar | | Apples | | These do have a use. Throw ’em at a bully who tries to steal your bag | | Hershey’s Miniatures | | Tiny, but worth your while on the porch | | Gum | | As long as you get a full pack. Eschew individual sticks |
