We have a sweet tooth on this week’s GoGCast as we discuss Halloween candy and some of the differences between Canadian and American candies. Like, did you know that Smarties are candy-covered chocolates in Canada, but the candy called Smarties in America is actually called Rockets here. No? What? Oh, we’re a video game podcast? RIGHT! Leah shares her first impression of the fun and bubbly Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
