Halloween is swiftly approaching and so are the calories. Which is scarier: Haunted houses or the freshman 15? In light of the coming holiday, let's take a look at the personality types that accompany favorite candies! (Evidence for this article is found on a 100 percent pseudo-scientific basis). Along with each candy is a superhero-inspired Halloween costume to fit your personality!
Skittles
You have many different sides to you! Your moods are as varied as the colors of the rainbow. Each different Skittles color represents a different side of you. Red skittles represent your compassionate and loving side, yellow represents your optimistic side, purple represents your apathetic and moody side, orange represents that crazy "let's get down tonight" side, and green represents your inner hulk. Sometimes you go through all five emotions in one day, while other times you can be a mixture of all five.
Superhero Spirit Animal:
Who understands multiple personalities better than the Hulk?! Express your different sides by dressing up like this enormous green rage monster this Halloween.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Soft and delicate peanut butter coated with a hard chocolate outer shell. You might be tough on the outside, but on the inside you have a fragile and sensitive soul. However, it takes some digging to get to that soft inner peanut butter. Only your closest friends and family get to see that side of you!
Superhero Spirit Animal:
Chris Evans: He'll melt your heart just like the sun will melt your Reese's. Captain America is the king of sensitive souls who have to play dirty to protect the public. Grab a trash can lid for a shield and your red, white, and blue PJs to create an authentic Captain America costume (come on, we all know you have some patriotic jammies).
Pretzel M&M's
You've got a secret. A big secret. You keep this secret behind the colorful facade of an irresponsibly rich playboy businessman. Well, maybe not. But although you pretend to be completely immature and playful, you do have a serious side. You might be sweet on the outside but you're totally salty on the inside.
Superhero Spirit Animal:
You're Batman! A tragic past has given you a hero complex. The destiny of all your friends lies in your hands. Unfortunately, no one can know this about you. Secretly being a superhero isn't easy though, it can be extremely lonely! Use Halloween to let loose of your hidden responsibilities and be your colorful, spunky self!
Fried Oreos
You are the definition of YOLO. Deep fried batter surrounding two chocolate wafers which sandwich cream filling? Your arteries hate you and you don't blink an eye. You give zero cares to your health - and I deeply respect you for it. Never change.
Superhero Spirit Animal:
Tony Stark, Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr...he goes by many different names, but he has a careless, reckless and ridiculous spirit. He's the kind of guy who would eat 20 fried Oreos without a second thought. He's not a normal guy...he's Iron Man.
Sour Gummy Worms
You sassy little nugget. You are fire. You don't take crap from anyone. Rules are mere suggestions. You could survive "Gossip Girl." Maybe you are even a Blair Waldorf!

This gif says it all.
Hershey Kisses
Cute and classic. Straight up milk chocolate formed into a fabulously sleek teardrop shape. Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant or get out. Red lipstick and bow ties. Corvette with the top down. A coffee shop in Paris. Proposing on the top of the Empire State Building. Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. You will never go out of style.
Superhero Spirit Animal:
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, Unite! They're not classic because they're old. Spongebob is just as classic as "I Love Lucy" or "The Cosby Show." Go out with a friend in style, dressed as your two favorite underwater superheroes.
Nerds
Would you rather go out on a Friday night on the town or stay in your room and study? Would you rather read a textbook or read a young adult fiction? Watch a documentary or a romantic comedy? (If you watched the democratic debate, you fall under this category automatically, sorry). It's OK. Nerds rule the world.
Superhero Spirit Animal:
You are the ultimate comic book nerd, Peter Parker! Yes, there is Mr. Fantastic and countless other superhuman intellectuals but Andrew Garfield is by far the cutest of them all. Dress up as Spiderman or Spidergirl this Halloween and have a friend follow you dressed as your alter ego, trying to snap pictures of you! Comic book nerds, like yourself, will get a kick out of it. Those who don't get it; well, it's their loss, not yours.
Black Licorice
Why? Why would you like black licorice? Does anyone like black licorice? Why is it still around? It's just the evil cousin to Twizzlers and Red Vines. Honestly, is black licorice even a candy?
Superhero Spirit Animal:
Is Squirrel Girl even a superhero? Yes, she is. And a surprisingly successful one at that. Squirrel Girl, just like black licorice, is an odd choice. But she would make for a fantastic Halloween costume!
'I don't like candy'
Stop talking. You don't like candy? We don't like you! No one needs that kind of negativity in their lives. It's okay, though, you're not alone...
Superhero Spirit Animal:
You are Aquaman, the most useless of superheroes. You're welcome.
