Counterargument: The kids don't necessarily take ALL of the candy you buy. If you get too much, you have to eat the surplus yourself. As a result, people will genuinely buy good varieties of candy for Halloween. That's why I have so much chocolate in my minifridge right now.

Variety packs are also a popular buy, and we tend to give out the candies we like the least from those so that we still have some of the candies we like if there's any left over.

Even in Miami, you only reached a high of 86 in the middle of the day, by the time kids started to hit the streets you were around the low 80s.

Shout to Ontario Canada! I also think that candy corn is popular because Instagram shows people using it for decor rather than eating

For Georgia we do have loyalty to another brand! The coca cola factory is a huge place 2 go (most people I know have been at least once if not a few times) and coke products are also really popular :D

I think MatPat has the right idea, but I love how this video basically boils down to, "Candy I don't like appears to be popular. There must be a conspiracy!"

As an Atlanta resident who LOVES Swedish Fish, I have no clue why they’re so popular here either.

You know, I think buying one type of candy is pretty uncommon when you can just buy variety packs for only slightly more than the cheapest of candies

Small discrepancy with the weight. KitKat bars are like minimal chocolate and mostly wafers which have a lot of air. On top of that, other candy bars are made of lots of different mixtures which could add weight. Like caramel(afaik) is pretty heavy. As well, the reason for buying cheap candy is to make sure the house has enough, not just to cheap out on candy handouts.

this got on my for you page 😊 happy almost halloween! 🎃

One thing to consider about candy corn is the tradition of having it around during the season just like the egg whoppers are available and usually in a bowl somewhere in the house near the kitchen during spring.

There’s another thing that makes candy corn popular: decorations. They’re edible, so waxy they won’t just rot, and last for a couple months. Source: my mom’s done candy corn in jars for fall seasonal decor for years. Be it beneath a candle (that’s never lit) or just filling a small mason jar set with miscellaneous candies and using candy corn as a colourful space filler somebody will probably eat, there’s a lot you can do with them.

As a fan of Game Grumps, this 7:48 makes me really happy

I buy candy corn & pumpkins for myself in October, & I usually get a tootsie roll variety pack with various tootsie flavors, pops, & fruit chews for trick or treaters, & I get gummy bears, nerd gummies, & sour patch the rest of the time.

I would like to note that, though Kit Kats are expensive pound for pound, they're also very light. A package with the same _volume_ as the Snickers bag would be lighter.

On Hershey as a PA kid... that chocolate factory tour was really fun when I was a kid! It was as close as a kid could get to the fantasy of rushing into Willy Wonka’s factory. Plus they had a thing for kids where you can customize your own candy bar. If you’re ever somehow in the more rural parts of the state (not that I see why you would just be wandering amongst the woods?) I recommend stopping by Hershey!

@rebelcat_1261

The make your own chocolate bar is so fun. And you get to customize the label on the container it comes in!

I think there is 1 point Matpat may be overlooking: many people who buy candy for halloween do so with the knowledge that they get to eat whatever they dont give away. While some might be based on expense, id expect that the sales would correlate (not connotate) to peoples tastes.

Watching this 4 months later still gives me the Halloween chills

Price per unit is definitely a concern for me since we usually get between 400-500 trick-or-treaters, but you still don't want to give out bland stuff. I actually am planning to give out tiny rubber duckies this year instead of candy because I was able to get ahold of a lot of them in bulk for under 5 cents each but they're still fun (and you don't have to worry about kids being allergic to rubber ducks).

While I wouldn't call it a high-ranking favorite, I do appreciate Hot Tamales and generally consider them a good "budget" candy. They're tasty enough to enjoy, and fact that they're a bit too strong to eat more than a handful of at a time makes them last a lot longer since you're not tempted to wolf down the entire box in one sitting.

Here in south Florida, something I noticed is how Halloween is often the time of year when the hot summer switches to more chilly winter weather, but it depends on the year. Sometimes you can have 80-90 degree Halloweens, but other days you can have 60-50 degrees Haloweens. I noticed that the candy choices and amounts I got were wildly different depending on the year. On hot years, I got almost no chocolate but a lot more total candy. On colder Halloweens, I got fewer but better quality ones.
