Everyone likes candy, right? Well, what candies do the students of LOHS like? A poll was taken from different students at LOHS, and the numbers were pretty interesting. Instead of any sour or minty candies, the first place spots were tied between Twix and Oregon’s number one candy, Reese’s. Which is interesting, because one has peanut butter while the other has caramel, which are such drastic differences. So it’s weird to see them side by side at the top of the poll. But what both of them have in common is that they start off with a sweet, chocolatey flavor. Each of these candies ended up with an astonishing 19.5% of the votes, clinching the best candies in the poll by a mile. The delicious sweet and sour candies, like Nerds and Sour Patch Kids, which have seen a boost in popularity since 2020, seem to be pretty popular right now, too, taking up 15.6% of the votes. Now, KitKats have always been good and are liked by most people, but this poll only shows them having 11.7% of the votes. The poll also had many random responses that ended up only having one vote, so there was a category for that, which took up another impressive 19.5% of the votes. Skittles, the number one Halloween candy in 2020, had 9% of the votes. The 61-year-old chocolatey 100 Grand Bar, originally named the $100,000 Bar, had 3.9% of the votes. Last but not least, some unfortunate students said toothbrush, which ended with 1.3%.
