Those little triangle shaped orange and white halloweenesque candies....

What the hell are those, and aren't they gross? And is there a certain candy that you can't stand?

ugh. candy corn is the sickest of sick. i hate those boston baked beans things. what the hell ARE those???

The weirdest thing is that they never seem to go bad, nobody eats them, and nobody buys them. WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

I think there was one batch of about 10,000 produced in 1934, and, since nobody ate them, they were just passed on from generation to generation.

I swear those thing's expiration date lists a half life.

hahaha candy corn. what hippie invented that shit.eeew.

how could you not like candy corns, what are you . . . Canadian?

They were invented by the same person who made black liquorice, another candy which no-one sane eats.

put a candy coating on it and call it " good and plenties" and i'm all over it.
and yes candy corn rocks.

i probably still have a bag of candy corn in my crisper if anyone wants to jump on it

Nobody eats them because I eat all of them first. Every year. I am a candy corn fiend; I even crush them with a mortar and snort them through $100 bills from the Republic of Candy Corn.

Hi everybody, my name is AJ, and I am a candy corn-aholic.

MMMMMM candy corn
mmmmmmmm boston baked beans (candy-coated peanuts)

and who can forget the most artificial of all candy:
circus peanuts and peeps!

time for a sugar hit.

Candy Corn looks like the rotten teeth candy-crunching kids have had pulled. It is designed to give you nightmares.

done and done shayna . . . message me and we can exchange info.

no way-those are not peanuts!!! how about pink popcorn? why is it ALWAYS stale???!!!

ps: this christmas they made peeps snowmen-my corner mom and pop store still has them for sale

They're kinda pretty. If you eat them with peanuts, it's like a PayDay bar.

mmmmmmmm . . . I like to eat them one color at a time.

This is from an Augusta, Ga., newspaper:

In its early days, candy corn was revolutionary because it was tricolored. The Wunderle Candy Co. of Philadelphia is believed to have been the first to make the little kernels, in the 1880s.

"The Jelly Belly candy-making family began to make candy corn around 1898 in their Cincinnati, Ohio, factory, then named Goelitz Confectionery Company," said Tomi Holt, spokeswoman for Jelly Belly Co. "The product was so successful it carried the company through two world wars and the Depression."

In order to make a tricolored kernel at the turn of the century, candy-makers, called runners, carried big buckets of hot cooked candy to the molds. Streams of hot candy would flow from the bottom of the buckets, filling little wedge-shaped molds in trays of cornstarch. It took three passes with the buckets to get the three colors.

*****

It has *always* taken three passes with the buckets to get the three colors. Still does.

You got a problem with black, mother fucker?! I bet you get plenty of white liquorice in you cracker ass diet, don't you?! Also, I hate candy corns, yet I cannot stop eating them.

What is this chocolate-flavored candy corn that you speak of, and where can I find some?

Really, I get a little worked up about candy corn.
