    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

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

      ... with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, strawberry, and vanilla.

      Wait, wut? There's supposed to be different flavors? I just tasted sugar, sugar, and sugar (... and I love 'em).

      Maybe it's saying that it's a single flavor, which is a combination of honey+sugar+strawberry+vanilla?

      I've never even seen candy corn, so I am just guessing wildly...

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

          I could see honey, sugar and vanilla.

          There is no strawberry flavor what so ever that comes through at all.

            Yeah, there are supposed to be different flavors... And the same people make both the nice 3 flavor kinds, and the ones that are just colored corn syrup

              I can barely make it through a single piece, but at least it's better than a communion wafer? 😅🤢🤪

                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 would like that on a t-shirt with a lone pika on a rock howling into the wild, open sky as the background image. 🤪

                      Candy corn's traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent [...] corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

                      This is why it's called candy corn. Because, when stacked, it starts to look like corn on the cob.

                        Actually, I could probably eat way more styrofoam discs communion wafers. They're not sickly-sweet. 🤣

                          I wonder if there's a market for a "joke" snack food like white cheddar popcorn in a shape ironically similar to communion wafers... I hear they go great with shitty red wine, so that's a huuuge market just waiting for a new product. 🤷🏼‍♂️

                              I agree, but I haven't tried eating any while thinking, "do I taste any strawberry?"

                                      I unironically like white cheddar rice cakes becsuse they make me think of popcorn condensed into a communion wafer. Similar texture, and they taste super good.

                                        Candy corn is a small, pyramid-shaped candy, typically divided into three sections of different colors, with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, strawberry, and vanilla.It is a staple candy of the fall season and Halloween in North America.

                                        Candy corn's traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent the colors of the fall harvest, or of corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

                                        Candy corn has a reputation for generating polarizing responses, with articles referring to it as "Halloween's most contentious sweet" which people either "love" or "hate".

                                        Huh, for some reason I had assumed candy corn was that popcorn spayed with that colourful sweet crap. Now I need to seek out some of this so I can have a new hatred.
