    I hate candy corn, but those little pumpkins made from the same earwax and termite honey are kind of okay sometimes. I think because the shape leaves the inside a little less dry.

      I’m like the only person I know IRL who likes it. The most common complaint is the texture but that’s my favorite part

        My favorite part is using them as monster teeth! I like to nibble them from pointy tip to fat ass one at a time when eating them, the texture is perfect!

        I only know of one other person in real life that actually likes them, most people dislike or are indifferent.

            They shouldn’t have that texture unless they are old and stale or really cheap. Like chocolate, they vary from brand to brand.

            I like Brach’s the best.

        Agreed. I’m biased because of nostalgia, but my mom would get us the little candy corn pumpkins around Halloween time!

    What if corn syrup was somehow both chalky and waxy? I bet people would pay us to put that in their mouths.

    I like candy corn, but only enough that I am fine with just a single handful, once a year.

    The key with candy corn is mixing it up with peanuts or any kind of nut really. Then it’s just a payday.

    Candy corn is one of the only sugar based candies I like. But only fresh, if it’s stale it’s as bad as Skittles or smarties

    I like candy corn but unfortunately I can only eat it in squared fashion. Like, one piece, then two pieces, then four pieces, then eight etc. until the juices are literally running out of my mouth and I have Type XII diabetes.

    All I know about candy corn is what it looks like and that it apparently tastes bad.

    Considering that the people who dislike candy corn are the same people who think that Hershey is anywhere close to being chocolate and that Reese’s peanut butter cups tastes of anything other than pure sugar with a hint of peanut, I am terrified what candy corn tastes like.

      Hershey is anywhere close to being chocolate

      If it has a vomit taste, that may be due to butyric acid: https://www.thetakeout.com/why-hershey-s-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit-to-some-peopl-1846527404/

      So yes, that’s intentional.
