It’s National Candy Corn Day

Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

It’s National Candy Corn Day . . . and there are some trick-or-treaters who hope you’ll celebrate by FLUSHING YOUR CANDY CORN DOWN THE TOILET.  Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic.

A website just conducted a poll where they asked people if they LOVE or HATE various Halloween candies . . . and candy corn did NOT do the worst.

They only asked about the CONTROVERSIAL ones . . . not stuff like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which everyone loves.  Here’s the list, from most-hated to . . . less-hated:

1.  Peeps, 52% of people hate them.  And yes, their definition of “Halloween candy” is very broad.  (It’s like, if you don’t like Peeps, you’ll REALLY hate six-month old Peeps that have been in the cupboard since Easter.)

2.  Jawbreakers, 45% hate them

3.  Dots, 44% hate them

4.  Atomic Fireballs, 44% hate them

5.  Red Hots, 43% hate them.  Spicy candies don’t seem to be popular.

6.  Candy corn, 42%.  For the record, 45% said they LOVE candy corn, and the other 13% claimed they’ve never had it.

7.  Hot Tamales, 41% hate them

8.  Jelly Beans, 35% hate them

9.  Almond Joy, 34% hate them.  Almond Joys got hate, Mounds don’t?

10.  Lemonheads, 30% hate them

11.  Tootsie Rolls, 30% hate them

12.  Nik-L-Nip wax bottles, 30% hate them.  I didn’t even realize that these were still a thing.  Maybe they shouldn’t be?

13.  Smarties, 28% hate them

14.  Mentos, 27% hate them.  If you’re handing out Mentos to trick-or-treaters, your house is getting egged.  Just sayin’.  It’s like handing out Listerine Strips.

15.  Cadbury Creme Eggs, 28% hate them.  There ARE Halloween versions of these and Peeps . . . but they’re still an odd fit for this list.

16.  Dubble Bubble, 27% hate them

17.  Laffy Taffy, 26% hate them

18.  Bit-o-Honey, 26% hate them

19.  Brach’s Mellowcreme Pumpkins, 23% hate them.  It’s a little surprising that they get such a pass, since they taste a LOT like candy corn.
