What is your favorite Halloween candy of all time?

I’m not talking about your top three or favorite five, I’m talking about your number one.

The sweet treat that makes you break open the wrapper and eat it right away.

For me, it was Reese’s Pumpkins.

There’s just something about that peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio in Reese’s special edition shapes that makes them better.

My sister, on the other hand, was absolutely obsessed with Starburst, so much so that she would sort each individual piece by color and keep them in separate plastic bags for consumption.

While I liked to make fun of her meticulous process, I will give her credit, it was tough to beat a handful of only pink Starburst.

Last week I took it upon myself to get a few sleeves of Starburst and sort them according to color in honor of her October birthday. When I arrived at her house and presented my gift to her, she was immediately ecstatic as if she had seen a friendly ghost from childhood’s past. Her boyfriend on the other hand, scoffed at her Starburst obsession, stating, “I’m not sure why you like those, when Lemonheads are so much better!” 

My sister gave him a sinister stare followed by a quick, “you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re from Louisiana! If you’re from Michigan, you definitely like Starburst.” I reinforced her statement, knowing full well I had no evidence to support her argument.

While we bantered back and forth over which one was better the question arose from the group, “what actually is the most popular Halloween candy for Michiganders? What about Louisiana folk?"

Like any good candy journalist, I did some looking, and to my surprise, there are other people out there who are just as obsessed with finding out what candy their state loves.
