- The top 10 candies weren’t surprising, but the breakdown of the favorites by state offered some interesting results. For instance, Ohio’s favorite Halloween candy is Blow Pops. In Montana, it’s Dubble Bubble Gum; Georgia’s fav is Swedish Fish and Lemonheads for Louisiana. But none of these four candies made the top 10 for the nation. Here are those list toppers in order of popularity, least first, with morsels of their sweet-and not-so-sweet -origins mixed in.

Everybody knows that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were invented when a chocolate truck and a peanut butter truck collided with each other. Let's honour the memory of those brave first responders.
😂
Yes on family guy ha ha
Facts right here
Facts!
Thank you for actually acknowledging that candy corn truly is a “favorite” candy among enough people to justify its inclusion in this video
To me hating candy corn is a very internet culture thing. It's only the past few years I've ever heard anything bad about it and now that's all you hear about it. I've always thought of it as more a decorative thing than a candy people seek out but I never remember anybody saying it was gross either.
@@saltydog7038 Same!
I’ve always known a few people who weren’t big fans of candy corn compared to all the other treats they get on/near Halloween but the I feel like the intense candy corn hatred & slander came out of left field. I always liked candy corn. Sure, it’s not engineered to be exceptionally hyperpalatable like more modern candies and has non-distinct old-fashion flavor but I always enjoyed it anyway. It’s a nice “palate cleanser” between all the chocolate i eat on Halloween and the season isn’t the same without them to me
Both of my sons love it. I, however, can't stand it.
You should do weird history on the flavor of blue raspberry
That owl gets more licks outta the Tootsie Pop than me.
Wilbur Buds are still being made in Lititz, PA. They were a special treat when I was a kid. They are so much better than Kisses.
Yes Wilbur Chocolate is so divine. Hershey milk chocolate is too sweet for me.
Missing the old narrator in this one. She did fine, but it feels like I clicked on a buzzfeed video or something. The guy has such a unique voice.
Any way. I never heard of a Tootsie pop “willy Wonkaesque prize.”
Word for word I was told “ you take the wrapper ‘to the store’ (never mentioning what store) and you get a free tootsie pop.” Lol
I think most people heard the free Tootsie Pop version, not the Wonkaesque prize.
Yeah and it’s something the local corner store did for me as a kid, but you had to notice the star on one bought individually and redeem asap (you couldn’t go buy a huge bag then cash in). Otherwise it was just “Indian and star wrappers are good luck “
Ditto. I only ever heard the "free Tootsie pop" story from other kids, yet I never heard of any of them actually sending in a wrapper.
I thought I was the only person who tuned in for the narrator's voice. I love that guy.
Agree with your insight when it comes to the narrator. However, the use of Buzzfeed analogy - I, disagree. Mashed. BabbleTop. Etc,. Comes to mind in the switch of the narrator.
She's fine at her narration. We're just use to the other guys voice is all. Happy Halloween folks!
Sounds like the Watch Mojo narrator.
The guy is better
The narrator does a great job but the previous one made it more engaging. Could we get him back please? Love the channel!
I'm 110% with you on this one!
If you're from Central Pennsylvania you definitely know what a Wilbur bud is
I was just about to say the same thing
I love hot tamales and sour patch kids, but Reese’s and Twix really put me in the holiday spirit.
Currently eating from a 1.8 pound bag of Hot tamales 😂
Back in the 60's, we were able to turn in the wrapper with the star for another Tootsie pop.
Three Musketeers bars were my favourite as a kid. Just between you, me, and the internet, however, I have a soft spot for those rock-hard molasses toffees in Generic Halloween Paper wrappers. They're terrible, but somehow taste like nostalgia.
Picking a favourite candy is a bit like trying to pick a favourite book-- you've got to narrow that down by genre. Favourite hard candy? Favourite gummies? Favourite chocolate?
As a PA native, I grew up with Wilbur Buds
Big fan of the Twix bar or maybe a cookies and cream Hershey’s myself. But can we all agree as far as the best Reese’s goes, The Easter eggs are perfect!
Hershey's Cookie & Cream is an underrated candy bar for sure
Wilbur Buds are better than Hershey Kisses. If you visit Lititz, PA, you can probably try them there.
9 billion pieces of candy corn produced. 9 million pieces thrown in the trash after Halloween. 😂
For the Tootsiepop, my research showed between 2000 to 2300 licks, not using a machine. As far as Wilbur buds, as others stated, if you live in PA they're pretty common.
While I miss the other narrator, I think you did a great job to make this video fun!!
I gotta admit that Reese’s are definitely a favorite of mine!
Although KitKats are also up there. ❤
The loon who came up with 13:35 needs some credit as well
I'm sure that's the reason they built licking machines. Totally.
The "indian and the star" thing was honored at our local shop when I was growing up.
We would get a free tootsie pop for turning in a star wrapper at the corner store when I was young.
The linking machine tests are silly and unscientific considering how moist the fake tongue is, room temperature, humidity, lighting etc. that can alter results. Such a waste of grants.
Same here. The corner store would give us freebies if we got an Indian and a star wrapper
Growing up in the early 80's in Iowa, i remember getting a free tootsie pop at a store if we turned in a Indian with a star wrapper.
Where’s the other guy 😞
Yeah this gives off big Mojo Top 10 vibes
@@dirtdiggler2440 I thought the same thing!
She's totally a diversity hire.
Yeah. I commented a similar thought a few weeks ago. Not digging it
The other guy is my favorite narrator EVER! He's better than Morgan Freeman ha.
Sorry, nice lady narrator. Nothing against you, he's just 75% of why I love Weird History
I just can't get enough of M&Ms.
Which type of M&M is your favorite? Mine is peanut M&M's.
@@jenniferhansen3622 milk chocalate
@@MadWritter those are always good!
@@jenniferhansen3622The peanut ones are robust. But I really miss the coconut tropical ones -- the candy shells were dark brown, green, and a sort of oyster white color. Really kicked the basic milk chocolate up a notch. The mint-chocolate M&Ms were another good one.
People who give out candy corn during Halloween should be pilloried on the nearest town square.
A+ video!
It is interesting how bulletproof these candies are, no one really wants to get rid of M&Ms or Snickers.
Dark chocolate (semi-sweet) Wilbur Buds are my favorite candy. I actually traveled to Lititz, PA earlier in the summer to buy them from the factory store since my local shop stopped carrying them. They are still around and they are fantastic.
Halloween candy sold in stores today seems a lot less varied today than in the 1960's. I remember peanut butter taffy wrapped in black and orange wax paper, and (gone forever) those black and orange pea-sized balls in square cellophane packets. The black ones were licorice, and the orange ones were orange-flavored.
I also liked Red-Hots and Boston Baked Beans, and people actually used to hand out boxes of them and full-sized candy bars, too. I hated BB Bats, and knew a boy who loved them. We gladly traded my BB Bats for his chocolate candy.
My seasonal candy of choice (from what little the stores offer today) is Snickers, Baby Ruths, Pay Days, peanut butter cups, or just plain Hershey bars. Even when I was little, I found candy corn and Harvest Mello-cremes pretty to look at - but too damned sweet!
My favorite candy as a kid was Warheads. The pain of the sour shocks your mind. Need to wake up?
Grab a blue. 😆
2:15 The idea that college grant money is EVER used for anything actually productive is the biggest joke of this video ahahaha
😂😂😂
Wilbur buds still exist though. But I think you can only find them in Pennsylvania.
Had no idea Sourpatch Kids were created in my province in Canada! 🇨🇦
It’s not a weird history video without Steven Colberts voice
13:13
:as I munch on my Reese's Peanut Butter Bar:
You're goddamn right.
I went to buy candy today and it's ALL GONE! The shelves are covered in Christmas cards and snow globes. It's October 26 people, come on!!!
There's an old story that the name "Kiss" came from the noise that the chocolate made as it came out of the tube.
Just wanted to say how much I really enjoy Weird History Food! ❤️❤️❤️ I love the main channel too but I just really dig everything having to do with food! 😂😂😂
Okay, but it has to be the mini Reese Cups. If its normal sized, or shaped like a pumpkin, I'm not eating it.
HP Reese used to be a factory worker who is able to take care of 16 kids and his wife and himself. Oh my my how times have changed. I don't think that's physically possible today and who the heck has 16 kids. At most usually see 6 or 7 siblings these days. The American dream was very strong back then
Popular quote at Rocky Horror Picture Show: "Skittles, Taste the Rainbow!!!"
Reese's Cups are the GOAT
hey where'd that guy go?
He sounds perpetually sarcastic!
I had a neighbor who had a dog named Skittles
"patch kids" is just another word for kindergarten
That's one of my favorite Halloween candles along with the Hershey's miniatures.
I used to live in Lititz, PA where Wilbur Chocolate is manufactured. Wilbur Buds are The Best. Milton Hershey got his start working for Wilbur Chocolates. Hershey Chocolate doesn't hold a candle to the rich, melty, creamy Wilbur's chocolates. My father-in-law, a local physician who retired to Moravian Manor Retirement home in Lititz, was often picked up by staff on their way to work, his walker bag carrying a couple of bags of Wilbur Buds. Anyone can order Wilbur's Chocolates online. Note: Lititz, PA was the template for Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. As a child our son used to love to visit all Mr. Rogers' favorite haunts.
Interesting word of note. Thanks for the informative research.
The Tootsie roll pop star was honored at my local gas station. You would get another one.
Twix is my faverite halloween candy could you do a Twix one :D
Reese's peanut butter cups, toosie pops and flavored toosie rolls have always been some of my favorite Halloween candy.
US smarties are called rockets in Canada and they're my least favorite candy people hand out for Halloween.
Canada has british smarties made by Nestlé, they're like m&ms but have a sweet candy shell and they're a popular Halloween candy alongside m&m's.
We also have different chocolate bars, like Nestlé crunch (made by ferraro in the usa), Cadbury crunchie and Nestlé coffee crisp (sold only in Canada).
Canada has better chocolate than the USA, because like European chocolate it has more cocoa and fat, making it creamier, less grainy and not as sweet compared to American chocolate.
Happy Halloween everyone!
🎃👻😈 🧙♀️🐈⬛️🦇🐺🍬🍫🍭🍪
As someone who grew up five minutes outside of Lititz, PA, I assure you we have heard of Wilbur Buds.
I was a big fan of Snickers, Sweet Tarts, Junior Mints, Reese's, and Pixie Stix. The INE that I hated and would always trade? Necco Wafers, of course.
I'm begging you! PLEASE bring back the old narrator!!!!!!
Raisin clusters sounds really appealing ngl.
While I do like Candy Corn, my teeth are sensitive to sugar, and candy corn is the absolute worst. No other candy or chocolate bothers my teeth anywhere near as much. You can take that as an indication they are very bad for your teeth.
Oh man, Reeses are by far the GREATEST, but only one candy can beat em, white chocolate Reeses.
Old candy must have sucked if candy corn was a hit
0:14 THE ONE PIECE
THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAAAAAAAL
*"Can we get much higher.mp3""*
I remember some of these Halloween candles from unwrapped.
“Snickers is the number one candy sold in the entire world”.
Humanity is truly doomed.
She said REECIES!!! Ahahaha😂
No no no, it used to be that you could pick out a free video at Family Video if you got the gum ball with the star on it.
We had a neighborhood store that gave a free tootsie pop if you found a star on the wrapper.
Wilbur Buds are still available. We buy them regularly in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
Ok so part of why I love this channel is the narrator sounds just like the guy who used go narrate the history Channel before it went insane.
I was highly disappointed hearing someone else...
I’d like a history of chico sticks I think that’s how they’re spelled. I haven’t had one in about 25 years
It's Chick-O-Sticks and they've been made by the Atkinson candy company since the 1950s. That is one of my favorite candies!
@@patrickdurham8393 my apologies on the spelling error yeah I remember they would get stuck in my teeth as a kid lol do they even sell them anymore?
@@chipskylark172 yes! You can order them straight up from Atkinson. I found em at Five Below
@@chipskylark172 Oh yeah! The sticks are the only full size candy Atkinson makes any more and I order a box about every 2 months from a candy site.
I’m stunned that Hersheys Kisses weren’t actually called Kisses until I was 17…. I feel like my whole childhood was a lie lol
My locally owned corner store would honor the star/indian wrapper on tootsie pops and give us a free one
I don't have one favorite candy. I love several of them. In no particular order, I love the candies listed below...
*KIT KAT*
*NESTLE'S CRUNCH*
*SNICKERS*
*TWIX*
*PEANUT BUTTER TWIX*
I knew of Wilbur's Buds because the Wilbur's Chocolate Factory is in their home town in Lititz, PA. Not bashing Hershey here, but the chocolate quality of Buds are way better.
Yeah definitely missed the regular narrator, his vibe really made the channel unique
9:19 cinnamon candy I ate was a Fireball.
Great video as usual. I actually had some chocolate bark someone brought into work this week, it had candy corn and pumpkins on it, and quite delicious! Also good note about the random sour patch beer. Every state in America has a brewery making some kind of candy inspired Berliner weisse or slushy sours. 😊
Well, every single thing listed here has been in a beer before!
We order Wilbur Buds every year to give out as Christmas gifts. They are way better than Hershey Kisses!
I love reese cups, snickers year round.
People should give out balut on Halloween.
This sounds like the lady from DFB Disney Food Blog
Sour patch kids beer 🍺? Oh my 😛
Youre kidding right? Wibur Buds are a STAPLE during the holidays here (S. philly/South jersey area)! They are sooooooooooooo much better, creamier, smoother & chocolatier than hershey kisses!
Skittles would be one of my favorites were it not for them containing Titanium Dioxide - a known carcinogen banned in Europe.
Otherwise, I still buy Snickers and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
I like candy corn and the candy pumpkins.
The history of White Castle??
My favorite Halloween candy is 100 grands.
History of Lasagna?
Love me some lasagna 😍 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
Tamales are good, but Sour Parch Kids are the best tasting Candy by far.
Though I'd rather eat an actual lemon with a hint of sugar than Candy.
History of beef patties
I remember some of these candies.
Happy Halloween🍫🍬🍭
Candy Corn is a tradition...like it or not!🎃😜
Skittles suck.
Favorite candy and your intro candy is candy corn? The scourge of Halloween bags everywhere?
Thanks for the ad
Happy Halloween! 🎃🍬
yay m&ms and skittles
R.I.P to male narrator, i like the new one nothing bad to say about her.
Wilbur’s buds are still around. They’re from the area around Harrisburg/Lancaster PA. Wilbur’s buds are VASTLY superior to Hershey’s. How & why Hershey’s ever became as big as it is will forever be one of life’s great mysteries. The only positive I can think of for Hershey’s is that it tastes good cooked with other foods or combined like with s’mores but on its own it is not good at all. I often wonder if they like thieves when they are making the licensed version of Cadbury chocolate bc it is actual quality chocolate. You’d think they’d go ‘golly this stuff is so much better & it costs about the same price! Maybe we should actually make Hershey’s chocolate good instead of the garbage we’ve been selling’!
Vastly superior...very interesting.
I had never heard of them before this video.
Candycorn...it WAS Agatha all along!! Lol
No Swedish Burries? You missed the second best Halloween sweet (after King Reece's of course)
I love sour patch kids except the yellow ones, but sour patch ice cream sounds really gross.
I am going to try the candy corn n salt peanut
Reese's with banana 😋🤯
Where would someone buy that licking machine? Asking for a friend...
The fact that Snickers is the #1 candy sold in the entire world frustrates me.
I’ve never ate one before because I have a severe peanut allergy😭
I wonder if it tastes as good as it seems
When you are hungry, it is somewhat filling. Taste great with milk.
I don't think you are missing much, Snickers are just kind of "meh" in my book. Since peanuts are legumes are you able to eat tree nuts without a reaction? If so then you REALLY aren't missing anything, nuts like cashews, almond and walnuts are so much better than peanuts.
@@ThoseHappyHips Thankfully I’ve been able to enjoy almonds, cashews, & walnuts without issue.
It’s kinda difficult to explain, but I can’t really figure out what peanut butter even smells like. My brain registers the scent as hazardous and I’ll feel slight sensations of allergic swelling despite not ingesting anything.
All products that contain peanuts or peanut butter have the same smell to me, and puts my body in defensive mode so I’ve always been curious about things like Snickers or Butterfinger
Same! I’ve been told I’m totally missing out.
