The Candy Corn CrazeIn October, candy corn makes up 2 to 3 percent of all candy orders on the platform, which has been the pattern since 2017, according to Instacart. Mississippi orders candy corn 92 percent more often than the national average, with Nebraska and Kentucky rounding out the top three. Hawaii, on the other hand, ordered candy corn 55 percent less often than average, followed by Washington, D.C., and Florida. “Candy corn is the ultimate Halloween wildcard,” Alex Orellana, trends analyst at Instacart, said in a statement. That split is what makes candy corn so fascinating: it’s not just a treat, it’s a tradition that people either love to celebrate or love to debate.”
