Favorite Chocolate Bar?



I've closed the most recent Pro Chocolate Poll, "What is your favorite chocolate Bar?". Here are the results (out of 19 total votes):

Snickers: 4 votes, 21.1%
Mr. Goodbar: 4 votes, 21.1%
Kit Kat: 3 votes, 15.8%
Other: 3 votes, 15.8%
Heath: 2 votes, 10.5%
Butterfinger: 1 vote, 5.3%
Baby Ruth: 1 vote, 5.3%
3 Musketeers: 1 vote, 5.3%


I thought you might like to know what the top 10 candy brands in the U.S. were in 2000 (2000's data is the most recent I could get my hands on.). The source is The Manufacturing Confectioner ("The Business Magazine of the Global Sweet Goods Industry"), and the research actually covers brand/sales in dollars for the first quarter of 1998.
  1. M&Ms 26,128,204
  2. Hershey 18,721,350
  3. Reeses 16,876,411
  4. Snickers 15,565,099
  5. York Peppermint Patty 6,971,883
  6. Butterfinger 5,645,239
  7. Three Musketeers 5,283,848
  8. Nestle Crunch 5,213,076
  9. Russell Stover 4,615,111
  10. Almond Joy 4,358,023
So Nestle Crunch, really? And Three Musketeers? Who buys those? Also, number 10 tells us that people feel like a nut more often than not.
