Imagine a world where you could turn your candy corn, Good & Plenty and other sketchy Halloween candy into what you really want: more Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Well, that world exists — at least if you’re spending the holiday in New York.
Reese’s said it was putting up a candy converter vending machine in Washington Square Park (while supplies last, which might not be long).
Anybody who brings their undesired trick-or-treat candy to the machine can trade it in for what was statistically proven to be the ultimate Halloween candy.
No tricks here. Trade in your Halloween candy for Reese's candy. What'd you expect from the GOAT of Halloween?! #ReesesCandyConverter #NotSorry pic.twitter.com/bTrjF2IFay

That’s right, the number crunchers at FiveThirtyEight, a website best known for its political polling coverage, produced The Ultimate Halloween Candy Power Ranking.
It determined that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the most coveted snack-sized prizes of All Hallows’ Eve.
In fact, Reese’s dominated the rankings, with three more of its treats landing in the top 10: No. 2 Reese’s Miniatures, No. 6 Reese’s Pieces (apparently E.T. wasn’t asked, or they would have been higher) and No. 8 Reese’s Stuffed With Pieces.
What a time to be alive.
