Speaker 1: Callaroga Shok Media.
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five Good News Halloween Stories.
I wish I had thought of this bit earlier because
it's so much fun to do, and I actually wish
there were a lot more Halloween themed good news stories.
Don't forget, I'm also doing five Good News Christmas Stories
at its own feed and as a weekend episode on
the main Five Good News Stories feed. All right, so
you're like, Hey, I like chocolate, and I live in
a particular state. What's the most popular chocolate in my state?
A right, I'll give you a couple of headlines. First,
we learned from USA Today that Mississippi shoppers couldn't get
enough candy corn last year. So you're the people eating that.
Mississippi bought ninety two percent more candy corn than the
national average. Now Nebraska, you guys, bought ninety one percent more.
Hawaii is a little more seen. They bought the least
amount of candy corn, or five percent less than the
national average. Now you would think somebody would make a list.
I wasn't able to find a list, but I was
able to find a map. Let's start on the West
coast in California, I'm enjoy number one NOVAA. Reese's got
a whole block of Peena and M and M's. What
is this Oregon, Idaho and Utah. We're testing Johnny Mack's
state knowledge because it doesn't have the state names on this.
It just has colors. But those three states I just mentioned,
they like Peeda and M and M's. I'm not gonna
do all fifty. Texas catches my eye. It's a rather
a large state, and they're into the sour Patch kids.
Florida likes three Musketeers. Back here in New Jersey, M
and M's, I might single handedly be driving that sour
Patch kids in New York as well. Now I was
born in New York. I'm from New York, and yeah,
I disagree. I might have to move back home and
up the M and M and contingent Maine. You guys
are into TUTSI, pops, what's with that? This must this
next thing must be regional because I'm seeing Wisconsin and Minnesota.
You guys are into choquour dark chocolate which I probably
pronounced wrong. And we'll get letters. I welcome your letters.
I'd love to hear from you. I'll read them. Montana
likes Kit Cat's. John you said you weren't gonna read
all fifty I'm not Oklahoma likes Tosi Pops and Arkansas.
You might be the saanest of them all, you guys
just like Hershey's Milk chocolate.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, good news. If you thought you had five
Halloween stories and in the middle of reading your script
you realize you never put anything in number two. So
good news because the Count, you know, the guy from
Sesame Street, he hooked you up with a story. Yes,
thank you, Count. He's coming back to Sesame Place, which
isn't too far from my house, and when my kids
were young, was one of our favorite places. Like seriously,
it was one of our favorite places to go. Now,
as a fifty six year old man with no young children,
it'd be a little weird if I were hanging out,
So I'm not gonna be able to go see the Count.
But if you've got kids, I love Sesame Place. The
Count brought along some things, including the Count along Castle
Halloween Maze. Guests are invited to count the winding hallways
and the holy surprises that wait you inside. Count Von
Count's not too scary Castle Maze, you know, so I
won't be a that, but you might find me in
Canton at the Factory of Terror, one of the largest
indoor haunted houses in the world, recognized by Guinness World
Records three times. The enormous haunt is more than a
mile long and consists of four unique spine chilling attractions.
They are the Forsaken Asylum of Doctor Morbidius, the Industrial Nightmare,
the Massacre on Mahoning, and the Abyss. Talented actors and
performers are scattered throughout the lines to entertain patrons as
you wait to get into each attraction. But before you
even enter that, you can buy some beer at the
Carnival Bar that's right after you get off the first line.
This thing is huge. There's a second line, but you
can get a quick refreshment at Poison Ivy's Greenhouse Bar.
Now halfway through your tour, you can visit the French
Quarter at the Factory. There you can get another beverage.
And then there's the Forsaken Bar on Bourbon, which is
a New Orleans themed kind of spooky thing. So now
you've had four drinks, you can enjoy the highly detailed
and elaborate sets and the over one hundred and thirty
actors and staff. All Right, if those type of beverages
aren't your thing and you just want some coffee, Starbucks
is hooking it up. They have a lineup of collectible
drink wear for Halloween. They include the Nighttime Cauldron Tumbler
that'll only run you fifteen bucks, The Midnight Glow in
the Dark Cold Cup with moth straw toperor twenty four
ounces that'll only run you twenty nine to ninety five.
It's a jet black cold cup with a prism texture.
It transforms into an eerie green in the dark and
includes a moth straw topper, again only twenty nine ninety five.
Also at that price point, the Onyx Tumbler with moth Charm.
That one's only sixteen ounces, but it's the perfect carrier
for a hot beverage on a windy fall day. And
then there's the Amethyst Ooz Glow in the Dark Cold Cup.
That one's twenty four ounces. That one runs you at
twenty three dollars. Did you hear the Queen's accent? I
dropped the g I heard it. I'm leaving it in.
Make any ice beverage even more chilling with this purple
cold cup that also glows blue in the dark. Now,
this one is exclusively at Starbucks, in airports, grocery stores, hospitals, colleges, universities,
and more. So you're gonna have to hunt for that one.
You're gonna earn that one. And let's take another look
at the knockoff costumes. You may remember last time I
started to giggle when I clicked on creepy Husband. Now
creepy Husband has a John Aston style mustache, is holding
a cigar, and it's a pinstripe suit. I'm going to
guess that Creepy Husband's favorite president is Adams. You know,
there was John Adams and John Quincy Adams. They were
the Adams family, by the way. But this is not
that at all. This is creepy Husband. Next up we
have the Blue Gnome Father. You know, a little blue creature,
say like three apples high, with a beard and a
red hat. This isn't that at all. This appears to
be just a dad in a light blue shirt and
regular pants. So if you're confusing with some sort of cartoon,
you are wrong. This is a legally distinct Blue Gnome Father.
Now I've mentioned earlier what candy I'm a fan of
This is not that at all. This is the chocolate MM.
And if you're like, how do you spelled M john,
you spell it mmmmm. So there's five ms there. This
is a chocolate MM which should not be confused with
anything that would have a trademark on it. This is
not that at all. This is just a round thing
that you wear around you. It doesn't even have an
M on it. It has a smiley face because it
is a chocolate MM. And you know I told you
last week about the green shirted plumber guy. I was right.
There's red plumber guy. This guy has a mustache, probably
enjoys pasta. It's probably been to Venice in Rome a
couple times. This is red plumber guy from your favorite
video game or not. Actually, it's not at all. It's
just a guy in jungerease T shirt and a hat
who has a mustache. I don't know what you think
it is. It's legally distinct. And do you like superheroes?
Remember when you were a kid, you'd watch they were
friends and there was like the super Guy and the
bat Guy, and one of the guys, of course was
aqua Hero. Yes, the super hero from the ocean, the
famous aqua hero who is legally distinct and should not
be confused with anyone else in the world. And those
are your five good news Halloween stories. Don't forget there's
also regular five good news stories and five good news
Christmas stories, and you can find all this in the
main five Good News Stories feed. You have an awesome day.
