It’s that day again — 11 Comments

  1. I like the candy pumpkins best.

    I am amazed that we have a national day for candy corn and it is not halloween. How does that make sense?

  2. Major sugar overload with those guys.

    I love the candy pumpkins, but I cannot eat more than 2 without feeling vaguely ill the rest of the day. I don’t know what it is, but those are not meant to be eaten in quantity.

  3. It’s a tradition in our house that my wife keeps a bowl of candy corn mixed with salted peanuts on a counter in our home throughout the month of October. The kids and their friends (and sometimes her), grab handfuls whenever they walk by, and based on the amounts of both ingredients I see her purchase they walk by that bowl a lot. In the 10 – 15 years she has done this I don’t recall ever trying even a single piece of candy corn. I must not like the stuff.

    I remember it from my childhood, and I must have gotten it often while trick or treating, and I’m pretty sure I ate it as a kid, but I have no memory of eating it, or what it tastes like. Based on my avoidance and complete lack of interest it obviously didn’t make a lasting impression.

  4. I don’t go for candy corn these days, but remember a trip when I was 5 years old, leaving my grandparents for the two day drive back home. My grandmother packed candy corn, among other things, for us to munch on during our trip.

  5. I don’t understand candy corn. Even as a kid, I could take it or leave it. Now, I just leave it. Neo can have my share.

  6. People who don’t think the yellow part is the top must never have seen real corn. But hasn’t everybody seen real corn?

    I like candy corn a lot, but it doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be. I’ve blamed that on the general corruption and decadence of the times, but it’s probably just an old guy’s grumble.

  7. Give me the mellocreme pumpkins over candy corn any day. Softer, sweeter, better taste.

    Of course, some nice dark chocolate beats either, hands down.

    Tangentially, the candy apple candy corn are decent. The “chocolate” ones are awful, though not as bad as carob. I’m afraid to try the “S’more” candy corn.
