No one knows anyone in the Bluegrass State who calls Swedish Fish his favorite candy. That entire thing is utter crap.

"Hershey’s Mini Bars"

This is a bit vague.

Dark chocolate, peanuts, white, oreo?

You don't simply put the mini-bars in a single category.

I have never heard of Swedish Fish in my lifetime.

Good list, but Holy Diabetes Batman...

Texas population 28 million > 2.6+ million pounds of top three candies.

Georgia population 10 million > 290 thousand pounds of top three candies.

2.8x population multiplier... ~10x candy multiplier...

Frozen Reese cups that have been left in the freezer without anyone remembering it, is like finding $5 in your pocket after not wearing a pair of jeans from a month ago.

Tootsie Rolls and suckers just melt on any given day and cause an inconvenience.

Reese cups hold their value.
