They only asked about the CONTROVERSIAL ones . . . not stuff like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which everyone loves. Here’s the list, from most-hated to . . . less-hated:
1. Peeps, 52% of people hate them. And yes, their definition of “Halloween candy” is very broad. (It’s like, if you don’t like Peeps, you’ll REALLY hate six-month old Peeps that have been in the cupboard since Easter.)
2. Jawbreakers, 45% hate them
3. Dots, 44% hate them
4. Atomic Fireballs, 44% hate them
5. Red Hots, 43% hate them. Spicy candies don’t seem to be popular.
6. Candy corn, 42%. For the record, 45% said they LOVE candy corn, and the other 13% claimed they’ve never had it. (???)
7. Hot Tamales, 41% hate them
8. Jelly Beans, 35% hate them
9. Almond Joy, 34% hate them. Almond Joys got hate, Mounds don’t?
10. Lemonheads, 30% hate them
