What Retro Candy is Jersey’s Favorite?
For me, it’s Zagnut! Which, by the way, isn’t the most searched retro candy in ANY state. America has very different tastes when it comes to the retro candy we like most. Of the 56 options, 39 different candies were the top-choice for at least one state. Abba-Zabba and Charleston Chew were tied for most popular, but only by three states each. According to a study by Coventry Direct the most popular retro candy in New Jersey is….(drum roll)…Chocolate covered raisins/Raisinettes!!! They are definitely in my top 3 along with Razzles, and the aforementioned Zagnut. Check out the full study here.
