2015 Candy Hierarchy

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

• The Candy Hierarchy, 2014: http://boingboing.net/2014/10/31/the-candy-hierarchy-2014.html

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?
