North Dakota Women Want This Candy For V-Day

"My momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump

While I love that quote and boxes of chocolate, you might want to check this out before you buy any for your sweetheart this Valentine's Day.

Apparently, North Dakotans are picky when it comes to candy. The National Retail Federation conducted a study using sales data to identify the most popular candy in all 50 states.

Thankfully, North Dakota's favorite candy isn't Sweethearts. While the messages on them are cute, they are absolutely disgusting. If I'm going to eat chalk, I'll grab a couple of Tums. I probably need them anyway because I'm old.

No, North Dakotans aren't fans of sweethearts. If you guessed Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as our favorite candy in 2026....well, you'd be wrong. Gotcha!

The source says North Dakota's favorite candy is M&Ms. Peanut M&Ms, Crispy M&Ms, Mini M&Ms... you can't go wrong.

Now that you're armed with this useful information, you'll know what to do in the candy aisle this Valentine's Day. Also add flowers to your list. And if you want to get a little extra, do what I'm doing this year, and book a Break Room for you and your partner; smashing things you don't have to replace or clean...not sure it gets much better than that.

Happy Valentine's Day!

XOXO
