Why do you dislike/like candy corn or circus peanuts. I know why I don't like them, but why don't you?

[debm55]

5. Thank you , Ocelot II

3. Yuck yuck yuck

But I love some Mellocreme pumpkins!🤭

Candy corn doesn’t have a taste.

Circus peanuts are almost as disgusting as licorice.

Jest my two cents…

[debm55]

7. Agree. SARose

[johnnyfins]

6. I ate too much candy corn as a kid.

I'm done.

Circus Peanuts are just styrofoam, flavored with some odd banana taste. Plus, they are usually orange, like TSFs face.

[debm55]

8. HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHA. Thank you very much, johnnyfins. I agree.

[yorkster]

10. Right you are - bananas. Had forgottten that.

I like 'em all, including licorice.

[debm55]

12. Thank you very much for sharing with us, yorkster.

[yorkster]

17. Oh the shame of sweet tooth....

But, I definitely have one.
Thx. Deb.

9. I Love Candy Corn /bt

[debm55]

13. You can have mine.Thank you Abnredleg.

11. They're way too sweet, and not to put too fine a point on it.

but they make me "mucus up" and I feel like I'm strangling.

Sorry.

[debm55]

15. Thank you for that descriptive reason, catbyte. They are too sweet for me.

[boonecreek]

14. I like candy corn.

Especially mixed with peanuts, real ones that is. Circus Peanuts taste like pink marshmallows
left out in the sun too long.

[debm55]

16. Thank you very much for sharing with us, boonecreek

[tanyev]

45. Yes. A few pieces of candy corn, mixed with an equal amount of salty peanuts, yum.

Tastes like a Payday bar. Which is not something that can be consumed in large quantities either, but one of those mini-size bars just hits the spot sometimes.

[badhair77]

18. No, just no. There's something about

the texture. Someone can have my share. Enjoy.

[debm55]

20. Thank you badhair77. I won't be taking your share. Too sweet for me.

[beemerphill]

19. No dislike involved.

They are a very important part of this Halloween season. The problem for me is that I like them for about 4-5 pieces, then I have had enough and quit. A small bag is plenty for me all season. Sometimes by Christmas, I will have thrown half of them away. They are great for a few pieces.

[debm55]

21. Very logical, beemerphill. Thank you for sharing.

[Dorothy V]

22. Candy corn was OK but circus peanuts should be banned from the planet.

Haven't had candy corn in decades. I wonder if I'd still like them.
Something else I couldn't stand (and still can't) are jelly beans. I suppose it was the texture. Oh, well, plenty of other goodies for me to get into.

[debm55]

23. Thank you,Dorothy V, I could never figure out why they are still being made.

[chouchou]

24. Candy corn is disgusting. (Sugar and scum paste) Circus peanuts are the bottom of the barrel ...also.

Anybody who eats those things are just plain uncivilized.

[debm55]

25. Oh, everyone has there own likes and dislikes. It's okay to for people to like or dislike them

[chouchou]

40. I was being purposely silly and ridiculous..

[debm55]

43. ___________

[doc03]

26. I like them

[debm55]

28. Thank you very much, doc03

[JBTaurus83]

27. Pure sugar

With no real flavor. I loathe both of them.

[debm55]

29. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you.JBTaurus. The sweetness is what gets to me.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Couple Reasons

The texture is chalky on both.
Candy corn tastes like nothing but sweet.
Foam peanuts taste sweet with a touch of artificiality. Worst of both worlds.

[debm55]

34. Totally agree with you, ProfessorGAC,

[Lilithschyld]

31. The texture.

I hate the texture of each and also the taste that they leave in my mouth makes me want to immediately brush my teeth.

[debm55]

35. Very true, Lilithscchyld. So true.

[Rizen]

32. Damn, now I want some candy corn.

[debm55]

36. To each their own.Thank you Rizen

[MustLoveBeagles]

33. I like both

[debm55]

37. Thank you very much, MustLoveBeagles. I find it hard eating overly sweet candy. But you can do you.

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. I can't have much of either

I'm diabetic.

41. Candy corn is for little kids.

I liked it then. I've outgrown it. Peanuts are monkey poop. People shouldn't eat them.

[zanana1]

42. I love circus peanuts.

The taste is good, but the texture is great. You sink your teeth in them with no resistance at all.

[AllaN01Bear]

44. i candy corn , but , i respect your choice not to.:)
