We’re two weeks from Christmas. Have you bought any candy canes yet? Better question: Will they be eaten?
A poll by Brach’s found candy canes are definitely a tradition, 90% agree. But we’re now more likely to use them as DECORATIONS than as food.
60% use candy canes as decorations. 58% sometimes eat them as a “treat.”
Overall, we’re pro-candy cane though: 80% feel nostalgia for them, 77% would describe them as “refreshing”, and 75% would even say “delicious.”
Just over half of people said peppermint is “their preferred holiday flavor.”
(So we’re basically split. Half of us eat them the one month a year they’re available. The rest of us see them as festive future garbage.)
