It happens every year, the list of most popular candy in the nation and by state. Well, let’s get the favorites out of the way first and move on to the worst…because, you know, that’s where the fun is.
So, the FAVORITES ARE:

I can’t hate on our favorite in Nebraska. Sour Patch Kids are really kinda good. And for those who are looking for revenge (or feeling a bit Jeffery Dahmer-esque) you can eat them. (too soon?)
In case you were wondering, the Top 5 Faves across the entire country are:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- M&M’s
- Snickers
- Skittles
- Sour Patch Kids
Nothing too shocking, here, but I am not writing this to talk about how much we LIKE candies. I am writing this to talk about WORST candy across the US…and I am kind of excited about this.
The List of the Worst is…
- Circus Peanuts
- Candy Corn
- Peanut Butter Kisses
- Necco Wafers
- Wax Coke Bottles
Now I can’t say that I hate Candy Corn and I REALLY like Wax Coke Bottles. Most likely it is because I like to think of myself as an “old soul”. (My kids think of me as an old fuck.) But I can truly throw some shade and be a real prick here.
As you can see Circus Peanuts are listed as the Worst. They displaced Candy Corn at the top of the “shit list”. While I have had them and don’t despise them, I am not a fan. They taste like Styrofoam. They feel like rejected and compressed cotton candy that was painted orange. They have no taste and you will lose the taste of anything for hours afterward. (I am guessing because there is so much sugar, your taste-buds can’t handle it). Not only that, they don’t taste like PEANUTS.
Truth in advertising, jag offs!
My wife and I also have a traumatic experience with Circus Peanuts. It isn’t like PTSD or anything, but more like a “you have GOT to be kidding me” moment.
About 10 years ago, my wife and I were visiting her mother. When we arrived, we noticed what she was eating: Circus Peanuts and a Sobe’. This combination was so repulsive to the 2 of us, we swore we would stay away from both.
Jear Deesus.
So now you know that licorice may suck, Circus Peanuts suck more.
