    I like candy corn but unfortunately I can only eat it in squared fashion. Like, one piece, then two pieces, then four pieces, then eight etc. until the juices are literally running out of my mouth and I have Type XII diabetes.

    Candy corn is one of the only sugar based candies I like. But only fresh, if it’s stale it’s as bad as Skittles or smarties

    I hate candy corn, but those little pumpkins made from the same earwax and termite honey are kind of okay sometimes. I think because the shape leaves the inside a little less dry.

      I’m like the only person I know IRL who likes it. The most common complaint is the texture but that’s my favorite part

        My favorite part is using them as monster teeth! I like to nibble them from pointy tip to fat ass one at a time when eating them, the texture is perfect!

        I only know of one other person in real life that actually likes them, most people dislike or are indifferent.

            They shouldn’t have that texture unless they are old and stale or really cheap. Like chocolate, they vary from brand to brand.

          I wonder if there’s a market for a “joke” snack food like white cheddar popcorn in a shape ironically similar to communion wafers… I hear they go great with shitty red wine, so that’s a huuuge market just waiting for a new product. 🤷🏼‍♂️

            I unironically like white cheddar rice cakes becsuse they make me think of popcorn condensed into a communion wafer. Similar texture, and they taste super good.

    The key with candy corn is mixing it up with peanuts or any kind of nut really. Then it’s just a payday.

      Candy corn is a small, pyramid-shaped candy, typically divided into three sections of different colors, with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, strawberry, and vanilla.It is a staple candy of the fall season and Halloween in North America.

      Candy corn’s traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent the colors of the fall harvest, or of corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

      Candy corn has a reputation for generating polarizing responses, with articles referring to it as “Halloween’s most contentious sweet” which people either “love” or “hate”.

        Candy corn’s traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent […] corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

        This is why it’s called candy corn. Because, when stacked, it starts to look like corn on the cob.

          Maybe it’s saying that it’s a single flavor, which is a combination of honey+sugar+strawberry+vanilla?

          I’ve never even seen candy corn, so I am just guessing wildly…
