Benjamin Cohen and David Ng have been conducting a Halloween candy survey for a couple of years and writing it up:

This year in STAT545 were going to use this as our final challenge in data cleaning, wrangling, and exploration. As we make progress ... who knows? Maybe this will become a proper data package? Maybe we'll make a gallery of visualizations? I have no idea where this is going. For now, I'm just parking the raw data in data-raw for the students to work on in class and for homework.
Here's a visualization from Cohen and Ng ... wonder what we will come up with?
