I don't expect to have to salt or season my food at all when it gets to the table, I assume the cook/chef has seasoned it to taste the way it's supposed to taste.

I expect that when I go to placed that don't have salt and pepper on the table, sure, but can count the number of times I've gone to a place like that with one finger, and it was a prix fix four course meal for my sister's wedding rehearsal.

I don't remember the last time I used salt at a restaurant, beyond using it to salt fries that were totally unsalted. I've def used pepper a bunch because I love black pepper on salads and stuff.
When I eat at the Wendy's by work I have to order fries with no salt, because they just fucking cover them in salt. To the point that it causes me to get a blister in my mouth.
Overly salty is why I don't really like McDonalds french fries as much as I do places like In N Out, which people considering to be lame fries. But they are perfect for me.

God I miss going to an actual diner.
Chicken parmesan sandwich at 3am? Endless pots of coffee? Waitresses that have been there for twenty years and learn your names, know you tip well, so they only charge you for the coffee, even though your table of seven all ordered full meals? Breaking out into "Build Me Up, Buttercup" at 2am and having the rest of the diner join in?
Fuck man, that was awesome.
I like Cracker Barrel. Mainly because I like the chicken and dumplings. And the only other place beck home that I know if that made them well burnt down two years ago.
On Monday I lost my appetite and really did not feel like eating the rest of the day
But in the closing hour or two of work a for voracious hunger overtook me
I had a frozen microwave lasagna but even that has not quelled it

when I was in college I went to this one diner at least three times a week
to this day, all the waitresses know my exact order
my favorite thing to do is go with friends and never explain why the staff knows me
Apparently Alaska has the best taste in Halloween candy.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.
Any state that fails to have Reese's cups at least in its top three should be sliced out and ejected into the ocean.

So... the map is determined by a bulk candy websites sales info and random calls to candy companies? Doesn't seem like a good representation.

The data they are using for that is collected from their own sales data, in their function as a bulk candy retailer.
They're showing you what candies they ship the most of (by weight, rather than by quantity, I will note) to various states, which does not necessarily correlate to which candy is the most popular in those states. Additionally, they claim that they're providing extra weight to the months before Halloween, while still using year round data, but they don't state what exactly that extra weight is.
So that Nebraska data point, for instance, might be due to the fact that Nebraskans don't have a great place to source their salt water taffy.
Allegedly some major candy manufacturers and distributors verified their data and all of that, but without any actual statistical proof of that, I'm not particularly inclined to believe them. I don't believe this study would survive peer review, essentially.
It's generally soft right after you take it out of the package, but some people just dump it in a bowl and leave it out for a few weeks. After that it's like tiny sugary wax flavored pebbles.
I just always assumed it was the consistency of unpopped popcorn
Only after it's been left in the open for a couple of weeks.
This is it's molting stage, much like a soft chewy caterpillar will molt into a crunchy cocoon before emerging as a beautiful butterfly.
The difference is that the candy corn emerges as nightmares and diabetes.

I never see or hear about anyone eating saltwater taffy. Must be the people out in the panhandle just eating tons of the stuff.

why, though?
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
Cause Kalamazoo is a real city that exists in Michigan and they get some points for that
cherries and good beer and great food
And I like Candy Corn, so you've offended both of us

I've had candy corn in my mouth.
But I've never made it further than that.
Better old timey candy are those strawberry bonbon things. I think the same company does them.
