Halloween is coming up on Wednesday, October 31st, 2018. What is your favorite Halloween candy?

The website CandyStore.com put together their list of America’s Top 10 Halloween Candy. If you want to be the most popular house in the neighborhood, here is the list of the candy you might want to consider handing out. (Bonus points if you hand out full size packages!)

The website also broke down America’s favorite Halloween candy by state. According to their poling, Michigan’s favorite Halloween Candy is Candy Corn (really?). Here is what they said about it: “Candy corn is a divisive candy. It was ranked #2 in our Worst Halloween Candy survey. But people do love it. Though the trolls don’t believe me, Mighty Michigan still has a love affair with candy corn. This is the third year in a row. The favorite Christmas candy in Michigan is also reindeer corn, which is the same thing in Xmas colors. Michigan consumes over 150 thousand pounds of candy corn around Halloween. Starburst and Skittles come in a respectable second and third.”

I thought it might be fun to do our own poll to see if everyone agrees with the candy and rankings listed above. I’ve taken the Top 10 candies and also all the candies voted number 1 by all the fifty states in the U.S. and put them in the poll below. Vote for your favorite and let’s see what comes out at OUR #1 Favorite Halloween Candy!

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
