Clues: “Friday” and “Hershey”

Valentine’s Day is Friday.  So, if you don’t know what you’re buying your sweetheart, you might want to get on that.  We already know what we’re buying ourselves.

According to a poll by CandyStore.com, 47% of Americans will buy themselves some chocolate for Valentine’s Day.  They also looked at the most popular Valentine’s Day candy in all 50 states.

1.  Heart-shaped boxes of chocolate.  They’re #1 in 14 states, and also D.C.

2.  Conversation Hearts, 13 states.  They’ll represent 10% of all the candy sold.

3.  Hershey Kisses, eight states including Wisconsin.

4.  M&M’s, six states.

5.  Chocolate hearts, four states.

6.  Chocolate roses, three states.

7.  Two states prefer a candy that didn’t rank first anywhere else.  Candy necklaces in Alabama, and “Cupid Corn” in Michigan.  That’s candy corn, but red, pink, and white.
