We’re sick of fighting about this. Some people believe that Halloween candy is superior to Easter candy in taste, theme, and variety. Those people are wrong. Why? We’re so glad you asked.

1. Easter candy is bigger. If you go trick-or-treating, the best you can hope for is a fun-sized candy bar. Sure, there might be a wealthy house in your neighborhood that hands out full-sized candy bars, but those houses are owned by cult members (probably). Easter candy, particularly chocolate rabbits, is so large that it’s impossible to eat in a single sitting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ll get more Halloween candy than you will Easter candy, so in the end it evens out. But it’s still more fun to bite into something larger than your forearm than it is to nibble on something smaller than your capitate bone.

You're going to eat a candy cane in the next few days. This is a fact. And when you do, your mind will wander and strange thoughts will enter your head. To prepare you, we have eaten a candy cane and liveblogged this epic event, jotting down everything that popped into our minds.

I don't want to eat a candy cane. They are stupid. I'd rather just eat a mint. I wish I had chocolate or something surrounded by cake. Or pancakes. [Grabs candy cane]

So, it's the first weekday after Halloween, and you're probably exhausted from staying out too late trick-or-treating and hanging out with friends all weekend. Halloween was insanely fun, of course, and now you have a bag full of delicious candy, simply waiting to fatten you up. However, every person is different about her candy:

The Hoarder:
You like candy, maybe a little too much. You promise yourself that you're going to make this stuff last until next year, even if it kills you. You count your candy every morning and surround it with an army of house-elves (or, okay, stuffed animals) to protect it from little brothers. You may not get to enjoy the candy, but heck, if you can't, no one else will either.

In case you hadn’t noticed, we at SparkNotes are getting pretty excited about Halloween. We’ve been preparing all week: our house is decked out like a zombie graveyard, our iPod is loaded up with spooky music, and we’ve finally finished sewing the last of the sequins onto our Lady Gaga costume. But it seems like something’s missing…

Oh, right. CANDY.
