16. I love that.
I've seen that CCP so many times that I can recite along with most of it (which is what I just did).

10. I have a love-hate relationship with Candy Corn.



The first handful is good. Very good. But then after that it suddenly turns revolting, and I don't want to see it again for another year. It's the only candy like that for me, too. Very strange.

14. YES!! Same thing with me! It tempts me with it's yummy smell.
A co-worker just brought some to work last week. It's a good candy dish filler cuz it looks like you're offering candy to the masses and it's less insulting then black licorice.

31. Looks like a pile of half-decayed teeth
Lying on the floor of a cut-rate dentists' office.



They probably got that way from eating Peeps.

23. Jelly Belly Candy Corn (the original maker of the confection) is pretty darned good.
Nearly all the rest is garbage.

In any case, just send me all the Candy Corn you get that you don't want.

24. As a kid, I would eat handfuls of this stuff.
I ate one at a party last Sunday and wanted to spit it out. Ecccch. Just not my thing at all anymore.

25. It takes the syrup of 3 real corn kernels to make one candy corn kernel
according to the current Harper's Index.

A kernel of candy corn has eight times the calories of a kernel of real corn.

And every bite is tasteless, boring, bland and insipid, according to my index.

The only thing it's good for is sticking it on your bicuspids and playing candy ass vampire.

37. It actually has a purpose!
If you've been guilted into baby-sitting, and you want to make sure it never happens again. A large pack of candy corn ingested an hour before Mom or Dad makes the pick-up...you'll never be called again at 6:45 a.m. from a desperate parent...

51. hell, I even hated it when I was a kid! If I got a handful of it in my
trick or treats, it was all I could do to keep from asking if they had anything else in there.

My sister loved it though so we balanced out.


Generally I am not a candy fan anyway but that stuff is an abomination; also the "circus peanut" candy BARF
