Las Vegas Loves Candy Corn, Says New Survey

There are a few topics that can lead to arguments at the dinner table. Politics. Religion. Pineapple on pizza. But for whatever reason, candy corn has drawn the vehement anger of some. Well it turns out Las Vegas tops the country in love of the waxy Halloween candy.

A new survey from Byte.com found that Las Vegas searches for "candy corn" the most in the country, followed by Denver and Seattle. Cities like New York, Los Angeles and Philly were found to be the least obsessed with the candy. 34% of Americans say the actively "hate" the candy, while only 22% said they love it. The rest of the people, we assume, have other things to worry about.

Candy corn obviously made it to the top of the list of America's Most Hated Candy. That was followed by Hot Tamales (they get stuck in your teeth), Dots (they get stuck in your teeth), Caramel Apple Suckers (what are these?!) and Mike & Ike (whoever said they hate these are heathens).

The survey wasn't all about hate though! America's favorite candy was undoubtedly Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Those, in the fridge, then pop them in your mouth. You can't beat it. Rounding off the top 5 were Kit Kat, M&M's, Twix and Butterfinger.

M&M's are the top candy in Nevada. They are owned by Mars, Incorporated, just like Las Vegas favorite Ethel M's Chocolates. The M in Ethel M's is the same as one of the M's in M&M's. (The other M is for "Murrie", the last name of the son of Hershey Chocolate's then president who owned a bit of the product).

Now that you know the list, send your little ones out this Halloween with strict instructions of what to bring back, so you can purposely give them one piece a week while you eat the rest until Thanksgiving.

Easily one of the most under-appreciated candies there are. Grab a tube of these chocolate and caramel candies and bring joy to your mouth.

Alaska is a unique state for a multitude of reasons. 3 Musketeers is one of them. The nougaty chocolatey goodness is Alaska's favorite... and Alaska's only.

They are sweet. They are tart. Just like life.

The OG. The King. The Champ. The most popular candy in America is tops in Arkansas and four other states.

The first of SEVEN states that like these things. Really?! Nerds?!

Caramel. Chocolate. Colorado.

One of four states that love these spicy Mike&Ike's. While the other states make sense, we've been to Connecticut. Nothing spicy about it. Maybe they need a little spice in their lives.

Is there a brand more classic than Hershey? They've been at it since 1894 and their chocolate bars are still a staple, and a favorite for four states including Wayne & Garth's favorite.

In Florida, they eat it in one bite, lest they melt.

Nerds made Candy Corn once. We'll wait while you question life.

They couldn't be more different than their Milky Way twin Colorado, but they share a love in candy bars.

For a candy everyone supposedly hates, it is the favorite of six states. Take that, angry mob.

Whoops. Wrong Tootsie Roll. Still, Illinois has this candy all to itself.

Nobody better lay a finger on Bart's Butterfinger. And no one but Indiana did.

Just like Arkansas, Iowa loves these delicious cups. The perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter.

They share M&M's with three other states that claim these little candies as their favorite. Chocolate. Candy shell. How can you go wrong?

KY oh my... another state that loves America's most hated candy.

The land of Jambalaya! We know Louisiana loves the heat, which is why we aren't surprised by this pick.

Maine bucks the "Nerds" trend of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Damn meddling kids and their hippy candy.

Delaware's neighbor has a candy in common. Maryland loves their Hershey's.

The state with the best education loves Nerds. We could have told you that.

Yet another state on the Reese's train. What is it with the peanut butter in Reese's? It's so good. How? HOW?!

It's a green apple lollipop dipped in caramel. We've never had it, but we are here for it.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-AYE AYE AYE! Spicy candy for a spicy state.

Tart. Hard. Divisive. Just like we like our celebrities.

Montana. Big Sky Country and big peppermint fans too.

Nebraska is shockingly the only one on the list naming Skittles as their fave. Maybe the other states heard about the guy suing them for allegedly being deadly. We dunno.

Nevada is the state that challenges the "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" slogan. They also melt in your car. Trust us.

Massachusetts loves Nerds. New Hampshire is Massachusetts' tax-free northern neighbor. We feel like former "Massholes" may have tweaked the numbers a bit.

I GOTCHA CHOCOLATE BAR RIGHT HEAHHH!!!! Jersey loves Hershey.

Quite possibly the least surprising on the list. New Mexico puts hot stuff on everything, so why not Halloween?

New York and Alabama may not agree on much. But they agree on this.

Really, North Carolina? REALLY?! Milk Duds don't even have an official Instagram account. Cmon. You're all alone on this one because it's not 1968.

One of three states who love these altered lollies. We didn't know this was a thing.

O-H... OH NO! Another state has fallen victim to America's candy enemy number one.

Ooooooklahoma where the candy makes your eyes squint! They share their love of the these tart candies with Arizona and an unlikely match...

Oregon? More like Ore-GONE all of your friends will be if you admit you like candy corn. But hey, Portland marches to their own drum.

I mean, the bar was named after a town in their state. What'd you expect?!

Tiny state. Tiny candy. Need we say more.

In the battle between Carolinas, South reigns surpreme. While it's northern brother toils in the pain that is Milk Duds, South Carolina holds up the Cups.

Awh, the Dakotas match. That's cute.

Tennessee? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the only 10 they see.

While Texas and Oklahoma are bitter rivals when it comes to college football, they agree on one thing. These candies.

Don't ask us how we knew Candy Corn would be Utah's favorite. We just knew. We were all thinking it.

They are the #2 candy in America, but we are surprised by how few states they topped the list of. Vermont is the 49th largest state by population... and the other state who calls them their favorite is the 50th!

Virginia is for lovers. Lovers of Nerds.

Washington is the final of the seven states that name Nerds their favorite. Weird.

They are joined by Montana in their love for York. They are delicious. A first choice though?

Shockingly, Wisconsin's favorite candy is not cheese.

Another lowly populated state, another Kit Kat fan. Kit Kat deserves better.
