Candycorn - did it use to taste better?
I swear - it used to have more honey flavor. Also, whatever happened to the candy corn mixes (corn, pumpkins, cats, etc) that used to have a certain number of maple flavored pieces? And does anyone recall what all the different shapes were?

3. I've been fighting the temptation to buy candy (not the crap stuff) all day.
I tell myself to stop eating shit, too, and I'm usually good about it, but Halloween won't let you NOT see the damn candy!

4. When they took the trans-fats out of food, it just ruined the taste
Pringles now taste like potato paste.

10. Sigh. Everything used to taste better. They've pretty much ruined everything.
Tastykakes used to taste better too. Made them with real cream in the good old days, way back when...

11. I had to sell Halloween candycorn for my school band back in the '70s
and it tasted like crap back then, too.

14. The stuff we used to get had this wonderful buttery,
almost slightly salty sweetness to it. Now it just tastes sickly sweet and weird. Yuck.

15. Yes! It WAS buttery. That's what I remember, too.
What the hell happened to candy corn? I want answers, dammit.
