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.

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.

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

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.

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.
