Canes are more festive, but if I'm being totally honest, I find the shape somewhat inconvenient to eat. So sticks are better in that regard, but stick candy is year-round and thus less special. Ribbon candy is a fucking terrible shape, but on the other hand it also tends to come in clove, which I like.

Mint it preferable. If it is not mint, it must be very clearly a different color combination, especially if it is cherry/strawberry/tutti fruiti or cinnamon-- all of which might conceivably be coded with red. If it is white/red or white/red/green, it should be mint.

Minis are great if you want to eat the whole thing and not feel bad. It's awkward trying to save a half-eaten cane. But minis also tend to be lower-quality. Very good for crushing and putting on top of peppermint brownies. But for eating out of hand, I've had artisanal hand-made candy canes before and they are freaking great. Dark red and creamy yellow-white, thicker than the kind in the supermarket. So good.

I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT CANDY CANES, AMA.

Do you feel a profound sense of loss when the cane is broken inside the unopened wrapper?

I do for full-size canes. But I frequently break mini canes at the bend, because of the aforementioned issue with the shape. It's just not fun when you're sucking on the long part of the mini cane and the hook part of it is bumping into your top lip. And that can probably be misconstrued into some kind of weird innuendo, but it's TRUE.
