What no Fry's Turkish Delight? They are rose flavored!

I dig them, and ordered some for the office. I think I should take a survey to see if folks would rather have a Snickers bar before handing them out.

<I can not see the brackets>

Do we pick any candy bar?

Cadburys Milk Chocolate Bar
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (the big ones with more peanut butter filling)
Fry's Turkish Delight
Milky Way
Snickers
Twix (can't really eat them anymore due to gluten intolerance)
Butterfinger
Sour Patch Kids
Kit Kat (can't really eat them anymore due to gluten intolerance)
100 Grand (I think these might be a bit too salty for my taste)
Skittles
Hershey's Bar (might as well eat chocolate flavored wax . . . not legally milk chocolate in England)
Almond Joy (not a huge fan of coconut)
Starburst (too damned hard to open)

I will say I suspect the bracket is not your typical bracket (where nationally ranked candy 1 is going against candy 16), because I suspect Snickers would be in the top 5. But anyway....




2-Skittles
4-Sour Patch Kids
6-Butterfinger
7-Kit Kat
10-Mounds
12-Reese's PBC
13-Hershey's Bar
15-Twix

[Telonius]

1-M&Ms (milk chocolate)
2-Skittles

- Skittles pulls out ahead. If this were the candy generally, M&Ms would win; but the Halloween-sized "Fun" packs have about 5 M&Ms in them. Skittles wins.

3-Almond Joy
4-Sour Patch Kids

- Sour Patch Kids. I do not understand people who consider Almond Joy to be "candy."

5-100 Grand
6-Butterfinger

- Ooohh, now this is going to be a tough contest. 100 Grand narrowly wins. Ay, caramba.

7-Kit Kat
8-Reese's Peices

- Kit Kat in a landslide.

9-Starburst
10-Mounds

- Starburst. (See Almond Joy, above).

11-Snicker's
12-Reese's PBC

- Seeded next to each other? Should be more like 1 and 2! Well, it is what it is. Reese's, very narrowly

13-Hershey's Bar
14-Milky Way

- Milky Way. And it's entirely possible I may not be able to show my face in Pennsylvania again for this.

15-Twix
16-Twizzler

- Twix. Strawberry licorice can't beat chocolate.

[Rynjin]

1.) M&Ms
2.) Almond Joy
3.) 100 Grand
4.) Reese's Pieces
5.) Starburst
6.) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
7.) Milky Way
8.) Twix

All choices were made assuming that these are the "fun size" candies. I generally prefer Snickers over Reese's, for example, but I think the fun size Snickers are terrible. Same with Butterfinger.

There's a sever lack of mint in these candies.
Because peppermint patties beat them all.

Bracket 1:
M&M
Almond Joy
Butterfinger
Reese's Pieces
Mounds - (I'm not familiar with Mounds, but anything beats starburst)
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Milky Way
Twix

[Peelee]

There's a sever lack of mint in these candies.

I think there is an appropriate amount of mint in these candies. Now, if I could just get rid of all the peanut butter...

[Caerulea]

Sour Patch
Butterfinger
Reese's Pieces
Starburst
Snickers
Milky Way
