Milk Duds Trend as Candy Fans Debate Their Favorite Treats

When it comes to candy -- and really, pretty much any food -- there are those that most people reach for every time it's available and those that they'd never touch. This is especially true for chocolate-based candies so when comedian Bert Kreischer asked on Twitter which among an assortment of candies -- Peanut M&Ms, regular M&Ms, Hershey's with Almonds, regular Hershey's, Mr. Goodbar, Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Heath, Twix, and Milk Duds -- they would choose, people had some strong opinions. And those opinions were especially strong when it comes to Milk Duds. The candy is now trending on Twitter as fans slam and defend the candy.

Here's how it started: Kreischer asked "which one would you pick and which one would you NEVER pick?" and shared a photo of the assortment of candies. He then shared his own top five and declared that he'd never choose Milk Duds or the Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme.
