The Candy Hierarchy

On the heels of Halloween '06, I've stumbled upon this great classification of confections. The list appears in its original form. Since I disagree with the placement of a few items, I've highlighted the offenders. If it's in blue, I think it should be promoted; red should be demoted.

TOP TIER
(not surprisingly, exclusively chocolate-based)
Milky Way, Snickers, Peanut M&M's, Regular M&Ms, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Junior Mints, Hershey Bars, & Twix

SECOND TIER
(also exclusively chocolate, after fending off a few intruders)
Kit-Kat, Nestle Crunch, Almond Joy, Mounds, Tootsie Rolls, Dark Chocolate Hershey Bars, Fair Trade Chocolate, & Butterfinger

THIRD TIER
(also referred to as the chewy range or, in some circles, the Upper Chewy or Upper Devonian)
Milk Duds, Starburst, Jolly Ranchers (if a good flavor), & 100 Grand Bar

BOTTOM TIER
(the Lower Chewy and Gummy-Based, also the Middle Crunchy Tart Layer)
Dots, Lollipops, Nerds, Whoppers, Swedish Fish, Gummy Bears, Licorice, anything from Brach's, Hard Candy, bubble gum, LemonHeads, LaffyTaffy, Chicklets, Jolly Ranchers (if a bad flavor), Black Jacks, Bottle Caps, & Smarties

Tier so low it does not register on our equipment
Healthy Fruit, Pencils, Lapel Pins, & Extra Strength Tylenol
