Could It Be True? Are Life Savers California's Favorite Halloween Treat?

According to an online product review website's poll, the hard candy is the favorite in the Golden State.

The favorite trick-or-treat candy in California is Life Savers? Really? Not Kit Kat, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers? But Life Savers?

According to a ranking by Influenster, an online product review site, it’s Life Savers that’s the Golden State’s most popular Halloween candy.

According to Yahoo, Influenster polled more than 40,000 people from across the country, which raises the question, who are these 40,000 and how could they be so wrong?
