Candy is the one word that makes people feel an instant wave of positivity and happiness upon hearing it.

Some may define their favorite candy as sweet and chewy like Swedish Fish or Red Vines, while others will name sour and fruity as the best. No matter how you specify what candy means to you, there's no escaping the pull of confectionary goodness.

Around the world, there are thousands of different types of candy, including varieties from Hershey's, Skittles, and Haribo, but did you know the U.S. ranks no.1 for candy consumption? It's no surprise with the variety of options available. Who doesn't love licorice, lollipops, or peppermints? Even those who are restricted to sugar-free candy or gluten-free candy have plenty of options. Suffice it to say, candy is so popular, there's something for everyone.
