Valentine's Day candy study reveals each state's top pick

Candystore.com, an online bulk candy store, used data from the past 12 years to determine each state’s most popular Valentine’s Day candy.

Whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day with a partner, everyone loves to cozy up on the couch and watch their favorite romantic comedy.

So, Comparitech investigated which rom-com is most popular in every state using data from Google Trends.

Comparitech said: "Using Google’s list of top romantic comedy movies, we searched each film individually on Google Trends to find which state scored the highest. The top result is the designated film for that state. If any state came up twice, we used the film that was more popular over the last 12 months. If a state didn’t appear top for any of the movies, we searched through all of the films to see which ones came out on top in that state."
