Candy corn is great. However it is not a candy I can eat a bunch of. Don't forget about the candy pumpkins.

Quoted from zacaj:I've only found one bag of my preferred brand so far but I'm always on the lookout
What's your brand of choice?
Candy corn is probably one of the worst candies, ranking just above necco wafers.
*prepares for the downvotes from candy corn fanatics*
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Whats the story about Circus Peanuts anyway? (in a Seinfeld voice)
Why are they #1 in one poll, and #2 Behind Candy corn in another?[quoted image][quoted image]
The worst Halloween candy looks like a list of the best door stops.
The tootsie rolls are alright as long as they are fresh and chewy.

Quoted from CraigC:That about sums it up for me

He’s my favorite comedian!
I hear there is a Candy Corn Museum somewhere.......
probably next to the worlds largest Ball Of Twine.
Had a Halloween party about ten years ago and left a bowl of candy corn on the table in the basement. Forgot about it, went out to the store the next day and the dog found it while she was home alone....came home to orange dog puke all over our basement carpet.

I saw him live years ago and this was part of his act. Absolutely hilarious.
I will eat candy corn before eating the generic gum drops, or the random sucker with loop handle that has escaped its wrapper.
Candy Corn is awful, but Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears are the worst ... and not because of the tast.

Quoted from skink91:Peeps.
Unless you get either the "Hot Tamales (Cinnamon)" or the Blue Raspberry ones. They're actually good.

I like Candy Candy Corn, there, I've stated it. How ever have not bought any in many years.
Neeco Wafers are great, now that they are back in production. The big question is what the hell is Circus Peanuts? (Googled it).
Lastly, those Molasses Candies in the orange and black wrappers were suppose to be the worst.
Candy corn isn't much of a thing on this side of the Atlantic, but I'll have a few bits if it's passed around and I'm bored enough

My grandfather really liked them. He always had them around. I guess it was one of the few things from his childhood that was still available.
I didn't care for them much, though.
Quoted from skink91:Peeps.
Don't eat them straight out of the package. You need to let them ripen for a day or two. They're much better that way.
Last night I had someone’s home made ice cream: vanilla with candy corn added in! The cold made the candy corn crunchy. Yum.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:Had to pick up this bag.[quoted image]
Whoa, that looks interesting. Do they taste more like nerds or more like candy corn? Or a blend of both?
Quoted from ForceFlow:Do they taste more like nerds or more like candy corn? Or a blend of both?
The texture is the candy corn, the flavor and sourness is nerds.
I'd say a pleasant blend of both.
Found them at my local pharmacy of all places.

"Texture of Candy Corn"? Hard Pass!
Quoted from usandthem:Tastes like poverty, but I love it. Brach’s Autumn mix is what I like best.
[quoted image]
I picked up a bag of the autumn mix a little while ago. I like the pumpkins and regular candy corn, but I'm not a big fan of the ones with chocolate mixed in.
Can't eat them anymore due to health reasons, but I greatly imagine my opinion would differ from two ends of the spectrum before and after eating about 5 of them.
Probably the quickest treat to go from tasty to disgusting after you've had a few. Just becomes too much. Until then though I remember them fondly. But not like a bag of potato chips where you gotta force yourself to put the bag away. After a few it's like "eeeeuuuuuuuggggggggh."
