What the hell, Pennsylvania? You can do better.
Candy Store , which sells — wait for it — candy, recently surveyed 50,000 customers and combined the findings with major candy distributors to come up with a sweet illustration of the most popular Christmas candy by state.
Some casual observations:
⬛️ Man, Pennsylvania, candy canes? God, we're lame.
⬛️ Since when is Pez a fucking Christmas candy?
⬛️ We probably should move to South Dakota, where our gratuitous consumption of Reese's peanut butter cups won't be judged as much.
⬛️ Reindeer corn, Alabama? Really?
⬛️ Ghirardelli candy squares in West Virginia? That's, uh, unexpected.
⬛️ We can't even with the Jolly Ranchers in Illinois. Not only are those not Christmas candy, they're the worst candy. (Unless you drop them into a Zima circa 1998.)
