You people know your candy pretty darn good.

Joe Mc got 18/20 correct. Very knowledgeable. He got 3/5 correct in the bonus round for a total score of 105%. While this is the lowest score, I feel that I must point out that the bulk of Joe's missed answers were about bubble gum, Twizzlers and York Peppermint Patty. As these have the lowest fat content of candies, I totally approve of avoiding these candies and Joe Mc is a winner in my book.

TT got 17/20 correct. Her missed questions were on Pez, bubble gum and LeBron James, so we forgive her. She totally bounced back with a perfect score in the bonus round. Nice. So her total was 110%.

Maria got 18/20 correct. Wow. She also got 4/5 correct in the bonus round for a total score of 110% to tie with TT for second place. Maria got Pez wrong (dispensers are not really candy), did not know that Mars manufactures the Dove bar (but I'm sure she still thinks that Dove bars are delicious chocolateness) and did not know the slogan for Twizzlers (please see comments for Joe Mc on fat content), so this is practically a perfect score in my book.

Mary got 18/20 correct, but got ALL 5 bonus questions correct for 115%. Just awesome!! She has now improved her record to 3 and 0. Can no one usurp her power over Trivia Thursday?? Way to go Mary!! UNDEFEATED.

The prize for this week: Anyone who got over 100% correct may eat all of the Halloween candy they desire guilt free. That's right. I said GUILT FREE candy consumption. You deserve it for all your brain power.
