Minnesotans’ Favorite Halloween Candy is Even Spicier Than Mayo

Minnesota cuisine isn't world-renowned for its plethora of spiciness. Black pepper is as far as some Minnesotans will go, and even that can quickly become a bit much.

But when it comes to Halloween candy, Minnesotans are straight up masochists.

Minnesotans - Copied by New Mexico and North Dakota - Love Hot Halloween Candy

The candy I used to love to get out of those 3-candy coin-operated mini-vending machines and mix with Mike and Ike candy is Minnesota's favorite Halloween candy.

Hot Tamales - the Fireball whisky of candy (yes I know: it's vice-versa) - tops the Ope list.

Number Two: Tootsie Pops (we really are the white bread of the United States).

Number Three: Skittles.

A New Overall #1 Halloween Candy in the United States

I guess this country is peanut buttered-out: M&M's overtook Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as the most popular Halloween candy in the country. I don't think kids or adults will complain about either...

...unless you're a peanut butter hater...in which case, never speak to me, you unwarshed heathen.

The souring of society continues as Sour Patch Kids candy jumped to #3 on the list.

Our taste buds must be dying, because candy corn is up to #7...somehow, above Butterfingers, which just finally cracked the top 10.

IIIIIIIII WANT CANDY

The National Retail Federation (I still prefer WWE) estimates that 'Mericans will spend $3.5 BILLION on marching onward to diabetes Halloween candy, averaging about $31.69 per 'Merican.

Somehow, that number seems low.
