Candy corn is crusty calcified corn syrup. They're garbage and so is anyone who thinks it's acceptable to put one in your mouth.
People who give out candy corn on Halloween should be put on an online registry so parents know to avoid those houses.

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?

That is clearly not the logo for KitKat. I'm calling the validity of this map into question.

It's not really associated with "Halloween candy" though.

Then again, Arizona has Toblerone. Either Halloween candy has changed a lot in my old age or it's another way Arizona's weird.

This should have a huge caveat (unless they are drunk, which is a decent amount of the time). :britain:

Also I definitely notice this watching football. Spanish/portugese players will always do that thing of touching the back of the head as a gesture and some times brits will think they going for a punch at them because they are so unused to people doing that.

That map could be labeled "average income" and it'd be about the same.

This map is actually useless without knowing any context.

If you just take the data from this map at face value, it's possible that on a 0 - 1000 well-being scale where the average is 500, everyone in the lowest quintile is at 498. If you make a map like that you need to show some raw numbers to give an indication of how significant the difference between quintiles actually is.

Of course, in reality most people will know that there are quite big differences between the states. But the map by itself doesn't tell you anything. This kind of nearly content-free map design could also be useful for propaganda reasons.

They're owned by Canada in the run-up to WW3. It happens at about the same time as Venezuela leaving the IKML and Guyana entering into a direct defense pact with Britain.

I know pretty much nothing of Chinese politics.

With that out of the way; does this map tell me that the little island of the ROC (Taiwan?) really makes a territorial claim to everything from Mongolia to India?

I'm pretty sure the RoC renounced their claims to Mongolia somewhat recently.
