Author's Note- Hey, today's story is from another prompt. IndianaFerbDragon wanted a story involving Candy Crush and Pennsylvania a while back. I am finally chugging through some of my prompt slush pile and this little gem popped out. But before we get to story a huge thank you to BloodLily16, Guest, Saoirsewolf, Fallen Angle 1243, The Prussian Cross, Rosenthal, and Moonlight Lantern. I am glad you think that I was able to describe tornado's accurately I feel very fortunate to live in a part of the country that rarely sees them.
Disclaimer- I do not own Hetalia…or Apple…or Candy Crush…
Candy Crush
It was no secret that Pennsylvania had a sweet tooth. From chocolate to hard candies, lollipops to gum, if it was sweet the state always wanted to have a bit…or five…or the entire bag of candy. In many ways it was an embarrassing habit. After all, no other state could chew through a bowl of after dinner mints quite as fast as Pennsylvania, or could anyone consume more Halloween candy without taking a breath. He could even eat more fudge before getting sick than America.
To make things worst Pennsylvania was a stress eater. Whenever elections heated up, or the economy was struggling, or the weather was bad, the state would eat through a large box of Hersey's candy bars without a second thought. With the most recent economic crisis several of the state's siblings were becoming concerned about Pennsylvania's candy heavy diet…their solution, an intervention.
The states that neighbored Pennsylvania dragged their brother to lunch, sat him down and gave him a mandate. He would either quite candy on his own or Mass and Maryland would create a diet for him. Backed into a corner, Pen decided to try to go cold turkey but he recognized that in order to tame the sweet tooth Pennsylvania was going to need a distraction. He found it in the form of a game.
"Don't you think you will have a little more luck breaking yourself of candy if you didn't stare at it all day?" Maryland sighed with exasperation as he watched little pieces of candy falling down Pennsylvania's screen
"No," the Keystone state said without bothering to look up. "Why do you ask?"
End Note- Candy anyone? Also, just for your personal knowledge while Pennsylvania consumes the most chocolate per capita it doesn't top the charts of candy eating as a whole. The state the eats the most candy per capita happens to be Utah…which might be trying to compensate for the lack of other vices. The state that eats the most organic candy per capita is Colorado…because they are trying to convince themselves that eating candy is actually kind of healthy, lol.
