Dum Dums so fitting for Florida
Ah, the old folks home of America is finally getting hip for the youngsters by putting their hard candy on sticks.
Look at that bougie shit down in Texas.
And HI!
What’s up?
Ten y’all’s say that’s just because of people scrambling to find candy when they get trick or treaters knocking at their door and they forgot it was Halloween, and all they have is these things, leftover from last Christmas.
Wtf is Texas secretly bougie or something?
That stood out to me as well haha.
Why Florida gotta do themselves like that?
They were confused by the survey and just self identified.
Now, I do like candy corn, but if that’s the favorite candy in your whole state, there’s something wrong with your state
This survey is based on candy bought, not favorite candy. MatPat made a video on why the reason candy corn is a favorite is because it is cheap in terms of per pound basis. If the task for people is buy 1 pound of candy, the answer is hot tamales and candy corn. Cheap candy.
Just supports the idea that something’s wrong down there. Candy’s not free, but it ain’t expensive, either. If all your entire state can afford is candy corn…?
Be honest, if you are at the store and see 1lb for $10 and another box of 1lb for $5 more, you save $5 and buy the cheap one
Not me. I can afford 5 more dollars. I get the one I’d be excited about as a kid.
Parents can be out of touch. I had someone buy sour punch straws thinking kids liked them
My parents bought and gave out those red and orange peanut butter chew candies that are horrible and disgusting and that no kid likes. Worse, they bought a huge amount at once and kept giving out what remained year after year.
I once found Twizzlers in a german supermarket for a lot of money. I bought it out of curiosity.
Do you really like that stuff? I found it disgusting and threw it away.
Never buy stuff from the american section. Shit is expensive as hell and not for human consumption.
It’s our easily shipped, shelf stable, garbage tier stuff.
Densely populated areas buy the cheapest candy.
The size/price ratio probably beats most other candies.
Wait, this data isn’t per capita?
Looks like it’s based on purchased weight vs national average, so per candy capita.
Twizzlers; let’s take the good things about red vines and make them all bad.
Are Twizzlers and Red Vines not the same thing?? They look exactly the same but they don’t sell Red Vines in my part of the world so I legit always thought they were the same.
Red vines are a single stick, hollow, delicious and the way red licorice is meant to taste. Using them as a straw is pretty much peak life.
Twizzlers are smooth, rubbery, taste like plastic, likely are made of it, and instead of one stick, are small whips wrapped together to form a long one. No straw functionality, but the individual whips are a good size for strangling a mouse.
Whereas I’m in the U.S. and I love European salty licorice (especially Dutch dubbel zout licorice). Almost no one here can stand licorice. When I tell them I like the salty kind, they stare at me in horror. When I tell them it’s salted with ammonia salts, they look like they want to scream.
My local supermarket has flaming hot cheetos, but they are 8.50€. They can’t be that good.
There’s no way this is accurate.
I’ve lived in GA my entire life and literally nobody has ever handed out trolli gummies.
They all just go for those mixed bags that Hershey’s puts out that end up in the Halloween sections of every grocery store.
gotta be something in the water down in FL
Water, air, soil…
It’s definitely full of dum dums
Man. I. Tired. I kept reading it as Halloween candles and got so confused.
I mean this very sincerely and not as a joke. Just a friendly suggestion. You may want to get your eyes checked.
Lol. Yeah I actually am going to an optometrist soon.
Good for you! I totally used to confuse “i” with “l” before getting my glasses. I was also shocked by how you can see individual leaves in a tree’s foliage with glasses. Before that they just looked like one uniform green thing to me.
I found out that I needed glasses while I was looking for a street.
Me: “Everyone keep an eye out for Willow Ave.”
Friend: “It’s right there. Next left.”
Me: “You can read that sign already?”
Friend 2: “You can’t? Why the fuck are you the one driving?”
I got glasses the next week.
God dammit oklahoma, why you always gotta make me ashamed to live here? We really are just the worst at everything.
Oh wow, look at Texas getting all bougie.
Georgia is my wife’s fault for singlehandedly skewing the average.
I’m surprised people actually like candy corn
I like candy corn. I wouldn’t want to eat a bowlful of it, but a handful is fine.
Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi: are you ok?
(it’s a rhetorical question, I know you’re not)
To be fair, candy corn gets a bad rap. If you try more brands you’ll find some are actually quite good.
The worst brands? Popular ones like Jelly Belly. Jelly Belly candy corns taste like flavorless wax.
As a north carolinian native, I feel obligated to say that I left the state and only after I left did I get the bright idea to buy a heat gun and make a candy corn cob.
I don’t even particularly like candy corn.
Wtf is this East Coast West coast Twizzlers v Red Vines?
West Coast best coast once again.
