Ferrero Rocher are candies? These are chocolate. It’s a weird definition of candy to include them.
Anyway, the best candies for Halloween are Brussels sprouts.
Pretty soon, the kids won’t have to worry about eating Brussels sprouts, because the Brussels sprouts will be eating them!
Why Florida gotta do themselves like that?
They were confused by the survey and just self identified.
Wtf is Texas secretly bougie or something?
There’s no way this is accurate.
A while back, I looked at a list of the most-widely-sold candy bars in the US, and it blew my mind how old they were.
Like, yes, they’ve seen formulas revised, and they aren’t quite the same thing, but I’d have thought that the advent of technology would let people come up with new and interesting bars. Very few consumer products are as elderly as a lot of these and still selling widely.
I did a table with a list a while back – the majority of popular bars are at least 70 years old. I don’t want to do up a whole table right now, but let me pick a random one: Snickers.
Now, I’ve got nothing against Snickers. I like it. But Snickers hit the market in 1930. It’s 93 years old. That means that in 93 years, we haven’t been able to come up with anything sufficiently-better to displace it. That amazes me. In that period, we’ve seen radical changes to our diet and to technology. The refrigerator became widely deployed in the US, the freezer, the microwave. Automats came and went. Vending machines showed up. Year-round availability of many foods became the norm in grocery stores as transportation and storage capability improved. But the candy bar has remained surprisingly unchanging.
That’s kind of how evolution works. Once you get something dialed in, it just kind of sticks around forever. Happens in other instances as well, like the fashion industry and Blue Jeans. Or Radio. When something works well, we just keep it as is.
Snickers: the crocodilian of snacks.
Also amazed, also content if Snickers survived for as long as possible.
What the fuck is wrong with Maine, New York, California, and Nevada?
gotta be something in the water down in FL
It’s definitely full of dum dums
I grew up trick or treating in Texas. Never once did I get Fererro Rocher shit in my pillow sack.
I did get home made beef jerky on occasion. Spicy was always a disappointment, because my stomach can’t handle much capsacin. I don’t mean I don’t like spicy stuff, I mean too much capsacin leads to ulceration and vomiting blood.
Florida is Dum-Dums?! I love it.
Hi-chew? If Alaska wasn’t already detached I’d make a petition. Who the fuck likes hi-chew?
Who the fuck doesn’t like hi-chew’s?
What the fuck is hi-chew?
Check asian grocery stores in your area they might have them.
It’s a delicious fruit-flavored candy sort of like a Starburst, but softer and sweeter.
Sir we have Starbursts. We are civilized.
Starburst are the Great Value brand of Hi-Chew.
You have that backwards. Hi-chew are the hydrox of chewable fruit treats.
Hydrox is the original. Oreo is the copycat
Now, I do like candy corn, but if that’s the favorite candy in your whole state, there’s something wrong with your state
As someone from NM: what the hell are tootsie pops?
A hard round lollipop with a tootsie roll center.
So Alaska gives out Hi-Chews? As in the ones you find at convenience stores in Japan? (ハイチュウ)
Op, you should add “uniquely” to the post title. That word in the title on the infographic is important. This is not showing the most popular Halloween candy, it’s showing candy that is much more popular there than the national average.
As an example, let’s say tootsie rolls are the 30th most popular candy in the us. But in the state of Stateland, it’s the 10th most popular, which makes it Stateland’s biggest deviation from the national popularity. This makes it Stateland’s most uniquely popular candy because it is much more popular there relative to the overall us. Snickers is actually the most popular in Stateland, but tootsie rolls show up on the chart as the state’s most uniquely popular Halloween candy.
I once found Twizzlers in a german supermarket for a lot of money. I bought it out of curiosity.
Do you really like that stuff? I found it disgusting and threw it away.
Twizzlers; let’s take the good things about red vines and make them all bad.
