Happy National Candy Corn Day!
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. Buzzfeed conducted a poll, asking people if they LOVE or HATE various Halloween candies, and believe it or not, candy corn did NOT do the worst (ended up #6). They only asked about the controversial ones (which means NOT stuff like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers, 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. And 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.
(The one thing I’m surprised NOT to see on this list: CIRCUS PEANUTS.)
