If you didn't eat all of it last night, you can keep enjoying the Kit Kats and Dum Dums awhile longer. But how long exactly? Halloween candy has a shelf-life, and it's not "til next year."

If you're going to be out trick-or-treating tonight with your own kids but you still want to pass out candy to the neighborhood, this self-serve method will solve your dilemma. And with no potential downsides, this is a total Halloween win.

When you think of jelly beans maybe you think of fruity flavors like grape and strawberry. When we're picking a favorite, Idaho chooses a fruity jelly bean, but more citrusy.  Take the poll if you don't agree!
