If you or your kids have found a bunch of Hershey Kisses in your loot after trick-or-treating over the years, here’s why…
CandyStore.com reviewed candy purchases from the past 17 years, and put together a ranking of the top three candies in every state. Of course, people buy candy for a lot of reasons throughout the year, so they focused on the months leading up to Halloween.
Although to me they’re more of a Valentine’s Day candy, Hershey Kisses were number one in Colorado. Kisses were followed by Milky Way and Twix respectively.
Here’s the Top 10 overall . . . along with the states where it was the top seller:
1. M&M’s – #1 in: California, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington state, and Washington, D.C.
2. Reese’s Cups – #1 in: Florida, Kentucky, New Hampshire, and Wyoming.
3. Sour Patch Kids – #1 in: Alaska, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, New York, and Texas.
4. Skittles – #1 in: Alabama.
5. Starburst – #1 in: Indiana and Michigan.
6. Hot Tamales – #1 in: Minnesota, New Mexico, and North Dakota.
7. Candy Corn – #1 in: Our hearts. (???) Kidding. It was #1 in Maryland and Utah.
8. Hershey Kisses – #1 in: Arizona and Colorado.
9. Hershey Mini Bars – #1 in: Hawaii, Nevada, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.
10. Butterfinger – Arkansas, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Outside of the Top 10, Snickers is #1 in Tennessee and Idaho. Jolly Ranchers are #1 in Georgia and South Dakota. Almond Joy is #1 in Connecticut and Missouri. Twix is #1 in Montana. Tootsie Pops are #1 in New Jersey.
3 Musketeers is #1 in Mississippi. Blow Pops are #1 in Ohio, and Lemonheads are #1 in Louisiana.
