Minnesota’s Favorite Halloween Candy Revealed (+ 49 Other States) [Infographic]
Two things: 1) Apparently Minnesota's favorite Halloween candy is the '100 Grand Bar,' and 2) I guess I'm not Minnesotan because I would have listed a dozen candies for the Land of 10,000 lakes ahead of it. Here are the favorites state by state thanks to the team at Influenster.com.
Maybe Fridley was a bubble of it's own (kind of like Who-ville), but when I grew up Snickers, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Sweet Tarts, Skittles, M&M's, Smarties, Baby Ruth's, Charm's Blow Pops, Whoppers, Hershey's Mini-Assortments -- those were Minnesota Halloween candies. I think I got more toothbrushes from neighborhood dentists that I got 100 Grand Bars. So yeah, I'm callin' B.S.
