We drafted Halloween candy and it was an absolute mess

The most heated debate in FTW history.

America is more divided than ever with many saying we’ve lost the ability to have a civil debate. We at FTW set out to prove that it’s still possible for adults in this country to respectfully disagree — and we failed miserably.

With Halloween approaching, we’ve got candy on the brain because ultimately we’re all just children who learned to drive and find employment. We decided to approach one of the most pressing gastronomic questions of our time by doing what all great thinkers do when trying to tackle the toughest questions of human existence: We had a draft.

Five members of the For The Win staff put their reputations and pride on the line to try and build the best Halloween candy bucket possible.

Draft Order
1. Caroline Darney
2. Andy Nesbitt
3. Christian D’Andrea
4. Matt Scalici
5. Blake Schuster

We’ll take you through our picks round by round below or you can listen to a completely ridiculous recording of the draft as it happened live on Twitter.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer gives his takes on candy at 2020 NFL Combine

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has a preference for Twizzlers, Reese’s.

The NFL Combine is a time for coaches, scouts and other team employees to evaluate some of the top talent going to the pros next season.

It’s also a time where there are a lot of media members asking questions, and not all of those questions have to do with the current draft class.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer got his share of unrelated questions at the NFL Combine.

Asked about his choice between Twizzlers and Red Vines, Zimmer answered Twizzlers to a group of reporters.

Next, he was asked about his preference between Reese’s and Twix, Zimmer said Reese’s.

Do these answers actually say something about Zimmer’s decision making as coach of the Vikings? Absolutely not. It is all in good fun, though.

Red Vines have been in the news recently. LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers enjoyed some of the candy while sitting on the bench in what ended up a 118-109 win over the Pelicans, per Business Insider.
