It seems like every single month, a new study comes out telling us what the most popular candy in our state is. Sometimes this is based on what holiday is nearby, other times it is based on the fact that candy researchers like stirring up water cooler trouble. Well, they’re back at it again and this time, according to Candystore.com, Kit Kat leads the way in Illinois as our most popular candy.
This makes sense. Illinoisans are resilient and satisfying, just like a Kit Kat. They take a lot of beatings, but they aren’t weak. They always bounce back.
What doesn’t make sense, however, is the fact that supposedly, Skittles are the most popular Halloween candy in America. Are we off for thinking that that is absurd? We don’t remember getting a whole lot of Skittles in my trick or treat festivities.
