Halloween Google Doodle 2015: Millions distracted with #GlobalCandyCup interactive game
IF you were planning on getting any work done before halloween, cancel those plans, Google's new Doodle has people picking sides and wasting work hours.
Which side will you pick?
The special interactive doodle controls like Flappy Bird and has players collecting candy in the side scroller. With elements of Candy Crush and Flappy Bird it was sure to send the world's productivity levels hurtling down to earth.
Just in case anyone was planning on being productive today...@google says not a chance #GlobalCandyCup #WhyGoogleWhy pic.twitter.com/ewxQ4FZXz8

The competitive element makes this game even harder to put down, as you pick one of four teams to compete in the #GlobalCandyCup.
Google says: "Welcome to the Global Candy Cup, a fierce competition where four extraordinary witches race to collect the most candy before the end of Halloween."
The teams are Blue, the optimist who'll have fun win or lose, Red, who'll win at any cost, Yellow, the perfectionist and Green the bookworm.
And things are getting heated on Twitter with people showing their colours.
Perfectionists only
#GlobalCandyCup TEAM YELLOW HAS TO WIN @google

So even if you were thinking of doing something productive you can't let your team down.
If you're not already preparing the surrender the rest of your Friday to the doodle then bare in mind the sound track is pretty cool too.
