While Reese’s will probably still be the favorite., followed by M&Ms, when it comes to trick or treaters, other top choices may vary depending on where you live.
For instance:
- Twizzlers have a special popularity along the East Coast. (Guess I’ll have to look closer.)
- Starburst is tops in Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Iowa, and North Dakota.
- Airheads rule in Florida and Colorado.
- Blow pops, in Ohio, Maryland, and Tennessee.
- Dum Dums, Indiana.
- Runts, Arkansas.
- Hot Tamales, New Mexico. (Not to be confused with a traditional Central American dish that’s sometimes spicy.)
- Whoppers, Kansas.
- Smarties, Alaska.
- Is Crunch bar even a brand – popular in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and California? Oh, I see, it’s what we’ve always called Nestle’s Crunch! Kinda like Kit Kat.
The rest of the country goes for more traditional brands – at least ones I’m familiar with.
I’m still not sure about that candy corn, which is supposed to be universally loved this time of year.
