Apparently the cold states like Twix. No votes for Junior Mints or Jujy Fruit.

I wonder. I have been unable to find them this year in the fun size boxes to hand out at Halloween. Just the typical, larger boxes.

Is this the real most popular? Or is it the misleading most different from the national average? For (an entirely made up) example, if Milk Duds make up 1% of sales nationally, but 1.5% in Ohio, they are NOT the most popular in Ohio even if the chart says so. Snickers at 20% would be absolutely more popular everywhere, but a map of Snickers in every state is boring.< /stepping off statistical soapbox>

Wisconsin: Butterfinger!

I can live with that! A guilty indulgence from time to time.

When we were kids, Dad demanded all of our ‘O Henry’ candy bars from our stashes. We had to pay the ‘Candy Tax.’ ;)

I can’t speak for the rest of my fellow Michiganders, but I could crush some pink Starburst.

That bag of Kit Kats I have in the fridge appears to have a hole in it.

I’m just thankful that Brach’s Candy Corn is only available to me for a very limited time. I love that stuff.

State flower, bird, motto, flag....halloween candy? Some polling organizations have too much time on their hands.

I give the kids Slim Jims. Something to coat the palate for all that sugar.

Color me skeptical. They can't have half the country in Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, so they look for any state that has a higher than average sale or preference for a candy, even if that candy isn't the biggest seller or the most popular in the state. Here is another version from 2019.

Something was terribly wrong in a few of those states.
