It has recently come
to my attention that I have fallen into a girly stereotype. Swedish Fish and
Sour Patch Kids are among my favorite candies. I was informed that many ladies
list these as their favorites as well. So, what is it about the sugary creations
that make the Y gender smile?
I like both Swedish
Fish and Sour Patch Kids because they are chewy without being too gummy or
gunky on my teeth. The flavors are fruity without trying to overly impress in a
disgusting way (banana laffy taffy anyone?). And yet, they're not too sweet. In
the case of Sour Patch Kids, they're not too sour and then not too sweet. The
perfect combination for a non annoying candy.
However, none of the
candy attributes listed above are inherently female. One does not need to be a
female to favor candy that doesn't stick to the teeth. Plus, it certainly isn't
female to prefer something that is non chocolaty. So then, is the candy declared
as a favorite of so many more women because men simply do not admit to their
love for it? Do men think they can not equally enjoy it?
I'm asking you, are
their gender guidelines for candy preference?
