Reese’s “candy converter” allows you to trade in your unwanted Halloween candy

Is there anything worse as a kid than schlepping up to someone's house on Halloween only to be given a piece of candy you don't like? And seriously, what kind of people don't offer choices? Those are the real monsters.

Anyway, that problem is a thing of the past thanks to an ingenious idea/marketing ploy by Reese's. Provided you like Reese's, of course. Check out their “candy convertor” which allows people to trade in their unwanted candy for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups:

Pretty cool. Although, they might want to slow down with that self-proclaimed “GOAT” talk. Kit Kat is the GOAT of Halloween candy. Everyone knows that.
The machine was first unveiled at a Halloween party in Tarrytown, NY, on Sunday, and it will be in action in New York City on Halloween. So if you see long lines at Washington Square Park between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., that&#039..

The Philadelphia 76ers’ new City Edition unis are inspired by Rocky’s nasty sweatsuit

Across the NBA, Nike's much (over) hyped City Edition uniforms are starting to trickle in. Last week, we brought you the Timberwolves' very purple Prince tributes and now the Sixers are turning to a decidedly different pop culture icon for inspiration:
Rocky Balboa.

Cameron Champ’s perfect timing, Paulina Gretzky’s interesting Halloween costume, and the worst bet of all time

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’re sorry to keep touting Golf Digest, but we’re on quite a run. As if helping get an innocent man’s wrongful murder conviction overturned last month wasn’t enough, this month, our cover correctly predicted golf’s next superstar:
FacebookPinterestMy bad, that was an “alternate” cover featuring yours truly in advance of next week’s Seitz Cup. How did that get in there? Looking sharp, though, right? Anyway, here’s the actual cover with Cameron Champ:

How’s that for timing, huh? And considering how deep PGA Tour fields are these days, picking a winner might be more difficult than freeing someone from prison. So good job, Golf Digest.

Gritty costumes and Gritty O’ Lanterns have taken over Halloween

This is Gritty's world now, we're just living in it. Since his/hers/its inception last month, the Philadelphia Flyers' furry figurehead has become an internet sensation, a surprising anti-fascist icon, and now, on the eve of Samhain itself, perhaps the single most disruptive Halloween force since Dracula. In writer school they teach you to show not tell, however, so let's turn to our ol' frenemy Twitter for help. According to a simple keyword search, every porch in the lower 48 looks like this right now:
