Candy Corn - over rated or under rated?

[14Red]

This is pretty much a seasonal candy question, as it seems like we only see candy corn in the fall.

So what do you think about candy corn? Go...

 

[EagleGuy]

I've never played the game, but my brother likes it.

 

[Yappi]

Over-rated! It is one of those candies that no one seems to like but will eat when it is available.

 

[eastisbest]

does anyone actually eat it? or do they just buy it for some reason?

 

[Zunardo]

When I was 4 or 5, I actually enjoyed the taste. I think there was a certain nutty flavor, something distinct about it. By the time I was 8, I didn't care for it. Not sure if the manufacturer did something to the flavor or if it was just me that was nutty.

I still like candy corn but like the pumpkins even more. Candy corn + peanuts as a sweet and salty mix is a winner.

This is real, I think you have to stick with a good brand name, like Brach's. Some candy corn gets very waxy.

I feel like it's just kinda there. I don't know if I really like it or not, but I'll eat some and feel nothing about it

As others have mentioned it is the last thing left in a kids Halloween bag. That and Charleston Chews, pennies, and black licorice. Yuck.

If there is candy corn in a bowl and kids are around it takes 5 minutes for one of them to make fangs out of them.

Our family was not "well off". We rarely had treats. As such, Halloween was fairly special. I remember my brother doing his best to make a candy corn last. He would bite off each color individually and chew each one separately. He felt as though he had 3 pieces of candy. He would swear each color taste different.

those charelston chews will take the teeth right out your head. I like them though.

A little bit of candy corn goes a long way.

 

[LELL]

Overrated.

 

[19AL63]

I truly think any candy that is just a lot of sweet wax is overrated. I do not buy the stuff let alone put it in my body.

 

[Fatman]

20 Million Pounds of candy corn are produced for Halloween.

 

[eastisbest]

and 2 million pounds are eaten.

 

[troyboy73]

Hate candy corn.

 

[Omar]

Not sure what’s worse, Candy corn or those orange circus peanuts.

 

[EagleGuy]

Orange circus peanuts, hands down.

 

[MoeDude]

Mix candy corn in a bowl with peanuts and the combination kind of tastes like a Payday candy bar.

May I suggest then just go buy the Payday and leave the high percent of wax out of your body? Reminds me of the fake apple pie made with Ritz crackers why I ask would you go to the trouble to make fake when you can have the real deal?
