It’s National Candy Corn Day..Not The Most Hated Candy

Author Ryan Logan
Candy and 94.7, what's sweeter?

finally people are getting smart and not saying the Candy Corn is the worst Halloween candy. I have always said, candy corn gets a bad rep. It’s like people think they are supposed to hate it so they do. Thankfully a study has come out proving that candy corn is not the worst.

It’s National Candy Corn Day, and believe it or not, there’s a poll where candy corn is NOT the most hated Halloween candy. Instead that “honor” goes to . . . Peeps

It’s National Candy Corn Day

A website just conducted a poll where they asked people if they LOVE or HATE various Halloween candies . . . and candy corn did NOT do the worst.

They only asked about the CONTROVERSIAL ones . . . not stuff like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, 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. (It’s like, 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.

6. Candy corn, 42%. For the record, 45% said they LOVE candy corn, and the other 13% claimed they’ve never had it. (???)

7. Hot Tamales, 41% hate them

8. Jelly Beans, 35% hate them

9. Almond Joy, 34% hate them. Almond Joys got hate, Mounds don’t?

10. Lemonheads, 30% hate them

11. Tootsie Rolls, 30% hate them

12. Nik-L-Nip wax bottles, 30% hate them. I didn’t even realize that these were still a thing. Maybe they shouldn’t be?

13. Smarties, 28% hate them

14. Mentos, 27% hate them. If you’re handing out Mentos to trick-or-treaters, your house is getting egged. Just sayin’. It’s like handing out Listerine Strips.

15. Cadbury Creme Eggs, 28% hate them. There ARE Halloween versions of these and Peeps . . . but they’re still an odd fit for this list.

16. Dubble Bubble, 27% hate them

17. Laffy Taffy, 26% hate them

18. Bit-o-Honey, 26% hate them

19. Brach’s Mellowcreme Pumpkins, 23% hate them. It’s a little surprising that they get such a pass, since they taste a LOT like candy corn.

Candy and 94.7, what’s sweeter?

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
