There are lots of things that divide us here in America but here is one thing that seems to bring us all together - our favorite Halloween candy!

There can be seen a generational divide when it comes to political views, environmental views (which is now political views) or social views (which, also has become political views) but, there is one (well actually, three) things that we all have in common.  Not only do we have the same viewpoint on this topic but, the topic itself is a treat.

Foxnews.com reports that a recent survey found that from the youngest generation, the Gen Zers, to one of the oldest generations, Boomers, have the same three favorite Halloween candies.  And, favorited in the same order.  So, what are we all in consensus of?  That Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is the bomb dot com.  We all love the peanut butter chocolate combo that makes a Reese's Peanut Butter cup so simple and fantastic.  This Halloween candy came in #1 on the list of all generations' favorite.

In second place, we all agreed that Snickers bars were pretty bitchin' and, in third place, that Kit Kat bars were one of the best as well.

Going into the fourth and fifth places, however, this is where preferences diverted.  Here's what each generation listed and ordered as their top five Halloween candies:

Gen Zers (born between 1995 and 2015)

  1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
  2. Snickers
  3. Kit Kat bar
  4. Twix
  5. Hershey Bar

Millennials (born between 1981 - 1996)

  1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
  2. Snickers
  3. Kit Kat bar
  4. Candy Corn
  5. Twix

Gen Xers (born between 1965 and 1980)

  1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
  2. Snickers
  3. Kit Kat bar
  4. Milky Way
  5. Almond Joy

Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964)

  1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
  2. Snickers
  3. Kit Kat bar
  4. Caramel Apples
  5. Tootsie Rolls

Well, maybe finding common ground in our favorite candy's could be a good starting point towards finding common ground in other things.

Or, maybe, we're just hungry and need a Snickers.
