Candy Corn- love it or leave it?

[TZ]

Its by far my favorite Holloween treat. Just got my annual bag of it (I usually restrain myself to only eating it around Holloween)

5. yup

he is 100% correct

[JTG of the PRB]

9. That's exactly how it is with me, too.

I laugh every time I hear that bit, because it's so true.

[joeybee12]

3. Leave it...loved it at as a kid, but just the thought of it now makes me shudder!

[hedgehog]

14. I agree. my question is, did I have an overwhelming sweet tooth as a kid,

or did they ruin it with the ubiquitous HFCS instead of honey?

[Quantess]

25. Same here! I wouldn't put a candy corn in my mouth today.

But as a kid, I liked just about any kind of candy EXCEPT circus peanuts. I always thought those were gross!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

4. I can't buy the bag of it yet

or it'll be gone by Halloween. I have no candy-corn self-control.

:hi:

[siligut]

6. I love it!

Here is Lewis Black on Candy Corn, he doesn't like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BVPOEn6_oY&p=DF8F0B94FF0B15CF&playnext=1&index=16

I like it alone, with popcorn and with peanuts. It can be too sweet, so mixing it with something salty is extra good.

7. Vile stuff. n/t

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. Well, if you're gonna be a pig and eat a WHOLE one...

11. LOL

Even though I love the stuff there is some truth in that chart....

[Phentex]

13. By the time you're there, it's too late...

a little like that last margarita. :o

[MilesColtrane]

10. In the competition for most nauseous candy product Candy Corn has only one other competitor.

Circus Peanuts

[Phentex]

12. You did NOT just go there!

:nuke:

[petronius]

15. I love it, but what is it - food coloring, HFCS and lard?

:shrug:

[BurtWorm]

16. That was always the last thing to go from my Halloween Bag

Just after the "marshmallow" "peanuts." :shudder: And I usually just threw them out.

Although, I have to admit... when I was a wee trick or treater, I did enjoy deconstructing them a color at a time.

[pitohui]

19. yes i would eat little tiny bites so as to eat the diff colors separately

oh boy it brings back the memories...

[rrneck]

17. I'd eat rocks if they had sugar on them. nt

[pitohui]

18. oh it's wonderful i love it

of course i haven't tasted it in years for fear of once i start i would eat the whole bag

so maybe it's too sweet for me now, i can only hope...they used to have these candy corns shaped like little pumpkins too in the 1970s...oh boy!

[Brickbat]

20. I grew up calling it "corn candy" and still do...does anyone else, or am I weird?

[Mokoil]

22. Last time I ate candy corn

I thought I was going to have to lick the dog's ass to get the taste out of my mouth.

That stuff is HORRIBLE!

[VioletLake]

24. I love them in moderation.

:) I'd eat a dozen kernels now if i had them! :P :hi:

[Lucian]

26. Gross.

It's the Peeps of Halloween.

[Kat45]

27. Disgusting shit! n/t

[Skittles]

28. there's a big giant jar of them in the cafeteria at work right now

if you guess the right amount, you win something. It's four in the morning, closed and deserted but us night workers are allowed access (for the coffee machine, vending machines and microwaves; I think I should count every damn on of those candy corns, then have all us night workers submit the exact amount as our "guesses". YES.

30. Candy Corn is my Kryptonite

[Dr Morbius]

31. Just be careful to buy the kind made with honey.

It will say so, usually right on the front because it's a selling point. I like candy corn and I like the "autumn mix" they also make, and which is available at this time of year. Once a year; I agree. At Easter I get a bag of black jelly beans (um, peeps = :puke: ), and at Halloween I get a bag of candy corn.
