Despite the kokugos I feel this is now the everyday term for confectionary with no real "polite" nuance. I don't mind if it has a "pol" tag, but I think on balance it's probably better without as someone might think it's restricted to that register. It's a bit like お茶, which often/usually just means green tea in all contexts with no politeness attached (yes I know we have a "pol" tag on it too.)

お菓子を買って 36 tweets past 24 hours. 6 or so out of those tweets are ですます sentences, the rest aren't. 
菓子を買って 12 tweets past week (not counting compounds like 焼き菓子). 1 out of those tweets is a ですます sentence.
_
cf with "お友達" where 6 out of 10 most recent tweets have this word in ですます sentences.

Rene, if you believe I need to prove my case, you could probably come up with a less insulting way of asking me to do that other than 
suggesting I'm somehow letting my "feelings" cloud my judgement. Water under the bridge, but let's keep decorum.

when we have references to this in a dictionary of polite japanese, a reference saying it's not polite should be needed for removing the tag.  facts trump feels

I get the case for adding pol based on 
what's in the kokugos, but I feel our 
loyalty should lie with the users, not 
other dictionaries. It's not helpful to 
tell people a word is polite language if 
it isn't. お茶 likewise shouldn't be 
tagged.
