This "love it, or leave it" classic candy, is tops in the 207.

The answer may surprise you!

As we get closer and closer to Halloween, many of us have candy on our brains.

Our-co-worker Chris Popper is famous in these parts, for handing out giant-sized candy bars, so as you can imagine, he is a pretty big hit in his Bangor neighborhood, but when it comes to Maine's favorite candy of choice, it is amazingly, chocolate free.

Instacart is a popular American grocery delivery and pickup service. They connect customers with personal shoppers who handpick and deliver groceries from various stores.

In a recent poll, nearly half of all Americans plan to eat Halloween candy this year. One in three of us have already started gobbling them down early.

When Instacart revealed the most popular candy in each state in America, the #1 choice from Mainers, was a bit of a shocker.

The highly polarizing Candy Corn (it is kind of the Moxie of candy) was the favorite of folks in the Pine Tree State.

As for our closest neighbors in New England, Sour Patch Kids was number one in Massachusetts, Peanut M&M's were tops in New Hampshire.

So, if you find yourself out prowling on Maple Street, or whatever your "go to" spot in Bangor is, this Halloween, you might be surprised by what shows up in your bag.

In the entire United States, it is a mix of sweet & sour! Here is how the Top 10 choices break down:
