As you can see, New York's favorite candy is Sour Patch kids. Personally, I'm a fan so there's nothing to strange to see there. However, it's when we get to the 2nd and 3rd top picks in New York that we start questioning our home state.
New Yorkers Love Spicey Candy
Coming in at #2 is Hot Tamales. I want you to take a second and think about standing in the candy section of any store. If they're all out of your favorite candy, what is your second choice? I'd bet a lot of money that you're not going for a Hot Tamale. Am I right?
New York's Most Controversial Halloween Candy Opinion
Number 3 might be the most controversial answer of all time. Sitting at the #3 spot is CANDY CORN.
I love Candy Corn, go ahead and judge me. But I am aware that most people hate it. So how did it come in at #3? According to CandyStore.com, we're not alone. Candy Corn came in at #10 for the most popular Halloween candy in America.
Candystore.com sells candy in bulk and, for the last 15 years, has been collecting candy trending data. According to the candy website, "Halloween candy spending should hit a whopping $3.1 Billion this year! That's a new all-time high."
