I Want Candy! (now sing it out loud)
I WANT CANDY!!!
Its not even Halloween yet and I’m already consuming more “treats” than I should be. Its time to reign it back in before the cold months settle in. I’m challenging myself to keeping the “treats” for the weekend only. No more red wine and chocolate during the week.
Here’s your Tuesday Trivia Question:
How many pounds of candy does the average American consume throughout the year?
Check back tomorrow night for the answer.

Uhm , I think we consume 50 pounds, totoally throwing a number out there. lol
I’m going to go with 40 lbs.
Hmm throughout the whole year? I’d say 105 pounds. I see so many people at work eating SO much candy, ugh gives me a stomach ache just thinking about it
Oooh.. that is a toughie… I’m gonna say 35 pounds? Total random guess though.
Halloween = Fun time and I think a little candy is good this time of year. Or some raw vegan desserts. LOL I love my sweets. Avg american = 80 lbs per yr I’d say.
The average American? 25 lbs. No googling, er cheating – just a random guess, but my answer really wants to be “A LOT”. I want to know what the average health blogger consumes! I’ve had my share of sweets this week too and I’m ready to reign it in myself.
I have no idea, but it’s probably an insane amount…most consumed by me I think!
Thankfully WE are not the average American!
I love chocolate and I eat a lot of it throughout the year. I don’t typically by other candy but if it’s around I have very little will power and will eat it!! So I’d say the average American consumes more than 50lbs of candy…that stuff is heavy, lol!
i have no idea how many pounds, but all I know is that michael pollan would not be a happy camper haha
can’t wait to get some reeses though!
Haha, I’m literally eating chocolate as I type this post.
I would say 41 pounds, Bob.
Show me 41!!
Erin, I love hearing from you on Tuesdays… err wednesdays!
