Providence New Bedford, RI, October 26, 2026 —

Instacart’s Halloween report highlights candy and costume purchasing trends, naming Sour Patch Kids the No. 1 candy in Rhode Island and pointing to the popularity of the banana costume.

The report also notes regional differences in candy preferences. The available information does not identify the favored candies in other regions, explain how the rankings were determined, or provide figures on purchases. It also does not specify how popular the banana costume was or where that costume trend was strongest.

The findings offer a snapshot of Halloween-related shopping patterns, but the details provided are limited. No report publication date, data-collection period, methodology or comparison with previous years was included in the summary. It is therefore not possible to determine from the available information whether the rankings reflect a change in consumer preferences or a broader pattern.

Beyond the Rhode Island ranking and the banana costume trend, the report’s specific regional findings were not provided. Instacart did not provide a statement or further details in the information available for this article. The report’s findings are presented as purchasing trends, but no underlying totals or supporting data were included.
