These are the states that hate Candy Corn the most
These are the states that hate Candy Corn the mostThese are the states that hate Candy Corn the mostThere is only one more day until Halloween so clearly at least 90% of ur thoughts are on sugar intake. And honestly, is there another candy that is the catalyst for as many feverish conversations as Candy Corn? People are so absolutely divided when it comes to this odd seasonal candy and so is the county apparently, according to new data.As comedianLewis Black once joked,Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America thats never been advertised. And theres a reason - all of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. It is the strangest of confections, even more so than Pixie Stix, Fun Dip (really any of the candies that are straight sugar in a tube or bag put in colorful wrapping so you think it is more) and the conundrum that is cotton candy. Good n Plenty has been known to break up many a friendship as well but nothing can cause a rift quite like Candy Corn. And yet today is National Candy Corn and here we are a country divided over it according tothe staff over at food sitethedaringkitchen.combased on geotagging data from Twitter.Over 100,000 geotagged tweets were tracked about candycorn and over 50,000 revealed a sentiment, or opinion on it. This data was mapped out showing which states are procandycorn, and which are anticandycorn. And based on some of the tweets, many people have a very strong opinion on the matter. You cant quite call it an East Coast or West Coast thing (though pro-California is an awfully big state) and though it was close the states that likecandycornwon out, with 28 states as opposed to the anticandycornstates with 22. Also interesting to see the regional similarities and differences (the south largely doesnt seem to be a fan).It was also found that women likecandycornslightlymore, as they accounted for 54% of the positive tweets, about it. I, a woman, do enjoy the corn that is candy but only during the month of Octobe r and my diet also resembles that of Buddy the Elf so I am not sure if I should be looked at as a subject.
