I had a couple pieces of candy corn last night and it was pretty good. Why does everyone hate the stuff?

I like candy corn. It makes me think of Halloween and corn: two of my favorite things.

I like candy corn but I haven't had any in a long time.

I think it's divisive because it's got somewhat of a weird aftertaste that you either like or hate. It's a more intense flavor than your typical candy.

It's just not that good either and people love to hate on things so it becomes 'fuk u op'

Back in my day everyone hated on those peanut butter wrapped kisses-things in the black and orange wax paper. Kids today!

It's ok in small amounts. Which is a pretty good feature for candy imo.

It's really least common denominator flavor wise but the texture is rad. :munch:

My favorite is those sugar foam flying saucers with the little candy pieces inside.

You do not want to try any it is essentially sugar wax and it does not taste like corn
It is called "candy corn" because it resembles "Indian corn" which is a staple around the fall

That's a shame. That indian corn looks good though so I'll dream of trying that instead.

Once when I was a kid I bought "edible money" from a candy store. I'm pretty sure it was just rice paper with a tiny bit of sugar but I couldn't admit I made a bad choice so ate the whole drat wad.

Some arent that bad. Some candy corn are bad. Stale cc is awful, it ruins the texture which is the best part.. Mello cream pumpkins are also pretty ok.
Chocolate candy corns are meh though.
The real trick is finding the optimal number to eat per season.
I find 20-22 pieces spread out evenly over the month of October is my maximum to not get sick.

people haven't made candy corn in generations all of the candy corn being eaten today is from the same batch from 200 years ago because the factory got dragged back to hell where it came from

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Indian corn is ornamental :( I have had "gelt" which are chocolate coins Jews eat around Hanukkah so maybe this will be a good fit for you

As Lewis Black famously said, I trick myself into thinking it'll be okay every few years and I can never bare to eat more than a piece.

Yeah it's okay for a few pieces but it is just filler in your bag of Halloween candy and that sucks.
