Chocolate and fruity are different sports
Candy rankings hide a structural split: chocolate bars and fruity/sour candy are judged by different physics. Reese's dominates the chocolate bracket on ratio engineering; Sour Patch Kids own the acid bracket. Texture is the under-rated axis — Twix earns tiers on crunch contrast, Airheads lose them on dental commitment. And every list has a designated villain: candy corn exists so that F tier is never empty, while Almond Joy splits households like an inheritance dispute.
