October only just started, but we’re already excited for Halloween. After all, who doesn’t love an excuse to dress up and eat candy?! Sweets have become as much a part of Halloween tradition as the ghouls and gore, with some proving more popular than others. Using Google Trends, job-hunting site Zippia has discovered America’s favorite candy, and the results may surprise you.
The Ultimate
With their chewy texture and fruity flavor, Starbursts are naturally a win. Last year, the square candy was chosen as the most popular, but this year the chews were dethroned by Kit Kats. The chocolate wafers were named the favorite by 6 states, more than any other candy.
Candy vs Chocolate
Far be it from us to choose between chocolate and candy, but such things must be done to determine the true winner. 22 states chose a gummy or fruit chew as their top choice, while 28 went in favor of chocolate.
We’re Worried About Some States
Not that we’re judging, but… Tennessee likes Runts best, Oklahoma chose Circus Peanuts, West Virginia prefers Candy Corn, and Colorado has a penchant for black licorice. Thankfully, some states are normal like New York, Virginia, and Ohio which went for Reese’s.
