The taxonomy of candyPosted Oct 31st 2007 12:31PM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Candy, HalloweenYou may never had put it into words, but if you think about it, you know that you've always ranked your candy on some scale of appeal. When I was a kid, the first thing my sister and I would do when we got back from Trick or Treating was to dump our candy out on the living room floor, take a quick inventory and then start to trade. Often times I could swindle Raina out of some of her better pieces of chocolate by offering a candy necklace or a cluster of Blow Pops. I'd offer up these pieces because they ranked low on my candy scale. The folk over at The World's Fair have put together an exhaustive candy hierarchy that divides the different brands and varieties of candy into a handful of groups and strata. The top tier starts out with some of the best of the chocolate candies and works its way down from there. The only categorization that I object to is the one that places Good 'N Plenty in the bottom tier, as I feel that those candy coated licorice bits are quite tasty and wonderful.
