Halloween and Our Love/Hate Relationship with Candy

The typical convenience store candy selection. With Halloween rapidly approaching, consumers face a crisis of conscience over what, and how many, sweets to indulge in.

Halloween’s just around the corner, and that means sugar! But of course that's a bittersweet topic these days. Take the song “Sugar” by Jason Mraz. It’s used in a video called "The Real Bears" that urges people to pour out their sodas and “dump the unhappy.” The video’s gone viral, but will it get you to stop drinking soda? And does that mean you have to skip the candy this Oct. 31?

Does this video convince you to switch to water?
