The New York State Candy is Sweet Tarts? Really?

Are Sweet Tarts your candy of choice? Our mom always told us that was junk candy.

40,000 people were surveyed by Influenster to see what candy is worth 'a second on your lips forever on your hips.' We would never consider Sweet Tarts worth it.

Influenster discovered with the survey that "the candy that pulled the highest total number of votes turned out to be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. It was one of only three candies (the other two were Kit Kat and Butterfinger) to be voted top treats by every single state in the U.S."

the candy that pulled the highest total number of votes turned out to be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Here is a closer look at favorite candy in the East.

New York - Sweet Tarts
Maine - Starburst
New Hampshire - Tootsie Rolls
Massachusetts - Starburst
Rhode Island - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Connecticut - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
New Jersey - Sour Patch Kids
Delaware - 3 Musketeers
Pennsylvania - Swedish Fish

We don't agree with the map. Our definition of candy is something like a Hershey's Kiss, Snickers, Twix, 3 Musketeers. Junk candy is just sugar like Sweet Tarts, Tootsie Rolls, Starburst, Swedish Fish. How did the junk candy get mixed in with the real candy?

Would you ever choose Sweet Tarts?
