A new survey suggests that nearly half of Americans agree that the best of Easter is the candy, Southwest News Service (SWNS) reports. The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of HI-CHEW, a Japanese candy company, asked a variety of questions about celebrating Easter amid the pandemic — and from the responses, it's clear that regardless of how people celebrate, many still plan on making candy a big part of the day.
