John Oliver has (understandably) lost his faith in Halloween after discovering Playboy's sexy John Oliver costume, and he's taking it out on candy.

During a segment on his show from Sunday night, Oliver references the obscene amount of candy consumed on Oct. 31 as a jumping off point to discuss the shady practices of the sugar industry. It's one thing when food labels are clear about the high sugar volume, but those are just the unsweet beginning.

A friendly reminder for your next grocery store trip: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
