@btwonder Interesting: These have same Best by Date as those from last December (which I bought and am still enjoying occasionally). Must have just been unearthed in the Meh warehouse.
@btwonder@Vertabrae i like them better. they’re not as hard as corn nuts are. while i still love corn nuts my teeth don’t so these are a nice alternative. only downside to these is that they generate a lot of trash as you inevitably eat like 4-6 packs in a sitting.
@btwonder@Vertabrae I think they’re made from a different kind of corn. Much smaller in size & no where near the rock-like texture of Corn Nuts (even though I do like those too). I ordered a box the last time they were on here, but I’m only half-way through them, so probably won’t get another box today.
@cengland0@Ignorant I saw them on the daily deal on sidedeal recently, almost ordered. But Morningsave had them for $29 and I could use my code. A few bucks is a few bucks, right?
I still have 241 bags from my last order… But they are good salty nuts… they are from some airline who backed out of a deal. Even says enjoy your flight on the package… But they are good CNuts. Me likey deez nutz
@Lynnerizer They are much softer then regular corn nuts. Great flavor & lightly salted. Small packages. I put 10 or so in my car for a snack on the go and bring with us on trips, beach etc. great buy. I’m still loaded
I used to love these, eating them as a healthy snack… Until one day at school I broke a tooth chewing on one, and felt lightning bolts going through my jaw. True story.
I bought these last time. They are VERY good. Small packets, so not too many open to get you in trouble.
Delicious in a salad, instead of croutons. If I had a restaurant I’d buy these to serve with salad and soup. I’m ordering again, and I still have tons of the first order. A+ !
We ordered these the last time - they are really quite amazingly delicious. We use them in salads and with ceviche and they are way better than any other version of corn nuts we’ve had. We renamed them “Love Nuts” and give people to-go packets of them when they try them at our house and like them.
@r0xor
They are quite edible. And they are incredibly popular at work where I’ve brought in 2 boxes of them so far. Price them on Amazon and and well you get like 20 bags for the price you pay for 300 here so good deal
@Cerridwyn@r0xor
Makes me almost wish I still went into an office. (almost) I did used to like visiting and contributing to the food and other stuff cabinet.
Oh definitely! Every office I’ve ever been in had a filing cabinet or table where you could just put stuff on and it was for anyone who wanted it. Food usually but really anything.
oh man i’m super happy these came back. i’m still only halfway through the last box but i like them enough that i just ordered two this time around. Like others have said they’re not as hard as corn nuts but taste just as good. only downside is that they take up a lot of space and use a lot of packaging. otherwise this is a crazy good deal on some tasty munchies.
@everfalling like how much space are we talking about? I love me a meh deal when it’s something like this, but my small apt + my partner who craves tidiness more than 105oz of corn nuts = a tough sell if it means bags falling out of the cupboards every time she opens them.
Got some for my snack-happy sis last time, her fam loved them. So I ordered one for me, one more for them. I used to love Corn Nuts but man, they were hard, and now that I’m old, I don’t want to risk cracking a tooth on those things, lol.
These dang thangs are good AF. Just put them in your mouf. Put them in a salad, put them on top of some chili with a cinnamon roll on the side. You’ll like these. Bring them back!
@awk I’ve ate several and they are corn nuts yet not real tough although dentist do say eye have an exceptional mouth.
Most are fairly soft there’s an occasional tough one here and there in certain bags. As, you get many bags and I’ve had about 25-30 bags guessing. Eat about 2-3 bags a week.
Got them last time. They are pretty good and not too hard to crutch on. Wish they had some of the other flavors though. I’d like to try the salt & vinegar ones.
I’ll probably grab a new box and offload the rest of the other one onto a friend of mine who also likes them.
So apparently it went to VMP-only at 4PM EST. That’s OK. I suspect it’s not the last we’ll see of them. Morningsave still has them listed for $39 for this package, so they aren’t actually out of them.
So, anyway, not being interested in betting $30 that they would be wonderful, and having noticed that HEB (our semi-local grocery store chain) had started carrying Love Corn, I grabbed a bag of both the plain salted and the habanero chili flavors today.
Meh.
The plain salted are sort of similar to ordinary corn chips in flavor, and slightly crunchier, but still nowhere near as tooth-splitting as what I recall those awful Corn Nuts were. They’re easily edible enough that I wouldn’t turn them down if they were on a snack buffet. The habanero chili flavor, on the other hand, was much worse than the plain. Bitter, not particularly hot, and just generally unpleasant. I should have grabbed the BBQ instead.
Anyway, based on my test, I will not be jumping on these myself if they come up again. The regular bag is 4 ounces, equivalent to about eleven of these airline-snack-size packets, and one regular-size bag of these will satiate my appetite for this flavor of thing for quite a while.
@werehatrack Dollar Tree had these in salt and vinegar flavor. I was tempted to get a bag. Maybe next time. I was really surprised they sold out on meh today
The first time I ordered these they were MUCH better. They were toastier and airy-er if that makes sense. These are still tasty but not as toasted. Might hesitate on purchasing next time since you get so many.
You can’t see the logo in the meh picture because it’s been cut off but these are American Airlines onboard snacks. Also text says welcome aboard. As was mentioned, these are the ultimate chili topper.
I bought this last time it was on meh. My kids get two packs each in their snack every day and I have a few a week myself. Flippin’ delicious!
@btwonder
Like corn nuts? Better /worse? I do like those.
@Vertabrae better!
@btwonder Interesting: These have same Best by Date as those from last December (which I bought and am still enjoying occasionally). Must have just been unearthed in the Meh warehouse.
@btwonder @Vertabrae I concur, better. And won’t break your teeth!
@phendrick I think they’ve had the same batch on Morningsave ever since. I’m tempted to get more.
@btwonder @phendrick I bought another box on Morningsave last week.
@btwonder @Vertabrae i like them better. they’re not as hard as corn nuts are. while i still love corn nuts my teeth don’t so these are a nice alternative. only downside to these is that they generate a lot of trash as you inevitably eat like 4-6 packs in a sitting.

Best of all, you can glue them to your gums to replace the teeth you lose eating these!
Too munch,
Too corny
I’ll take a 30 pack for $2.90
@lichme If you want to split an order, you should be posting on the cornmates.com site.
Same price on Morningsave for those of you with VMP might be a better deal.
@cengland0 Ha, immediately after I posted this message, they removed it from MorningSave. Now the buy button says “Too Late.” Scandalous.
@cengland0 hmmmm
The search for “Love Corn” still shows the product for $29 but “Too Late” when you click on it.
Here’s a screen shot I took before they changed it as proof you could have bought it before I posted my message.
@cengland0 @Ignorant I saw them on the daily deal on sidedeal recently, almost ordered. But Morningsave had them for $29 and I could use my code. A few bucks is a few bucks, right?
@cengland0 Looks like they’re back but with a mysterious price increase. (I feel so manipulated…)
@cengland0 @mehmoth I think we know who to blame.
@cengland0 @mehmoth That’s pretty shady
@cengland0 lol, I bought mine about 9 weeks ago on morning save with the VMP DISCOUNT still have 200+
So much corn!
I still have 241 bags from my last order… But they are good salty nuts… they are from some airline who backed out of a deal. Even says enjoy your flight on the package… But they are good CNuts. Me likey deez nutz
@bugger
What the texture like, are they softer or harder than a regular peanut?
@bugger @Lynnerizer Harder than a peanut, softer than Corn Nuts brand.
@Lynnerizer They are much softer then regular corn nuts. Great flavor & lightly salted. Small packages. I put 10 or so in my car for a snack on the go and bring with us on trips, beach etc. great buy. I’m still loaded
@bugger
Thanks!
Mainly disappointed that they’re going to be expired before I can give them out at Halloween.
@Vertabrae That’s the “best buy” date, not the self-destruct date. Something with this long a shelf life is going to be fine for six extra months.
Although I guess some mothers may freak out.
@craigthom
Lol yeah I would not care or probably the kids either.
The new Kandy Korn duh!
I used to love these, eating them as a healthy snack… Until one day at school I broke a tooth chewing on one, and felt lightning bolts going through my jaw. True story.
@iwilsker
This brand, or the old Corn Nuts? Those things were rocks, these aren’t.
@iwilsker @werehatrack New corn nuts aren’t rocks, either. These are even softer, but corn nuts aren’t rock hard anymore.
Ok fine I bought another case. The kids like them enough that I’d probably have to buy them at full price if I didn’t reload.
/giphy strange-chubby-quicksand
I bought these last time. They are VERY good. Small packets, so not too many open to get you in trouble.
Delicious in a salad, instead of croutons. If I had a restaurant I’d buy these to serve with salad and soup. I’m ordering again, and I still have tons of the first order. A+ !
Are these little packs sanctioned for official cornhole games?
A broken pack wouldn’t be wasted.
All right, sounds like these aren’t quite as bad as corn nuts.
If only they came individually wrapped in 10,000 little bags so there could be even more trash. Oh well.
/giphy astounding-virtual-oyster
@awk The little bags are good for people like me who can eat a whole regular-size bag of something without even realizing it.
We ordered these the last time - they are really quite amazingly delicious. We use them in salads and with ceviche and they are way better than any other version of corn nuts we’ve had. We renamed them “Love Nuts” and give people to-go packets of them when they try them at our house and like them.
@hlghartmann I hadn’t thought of salads- great idea!
This is the absolute last thing I would have thought would sell out on here… You guys are weird
@sum1 I was thinking the same thing.
Is it edible?
@r0xor
They are quite edible. And they are incredibly popular at work where I’ve brought in 2 boxes of them so far. Price them on Amazon and and well you get like 20 bags for the price you pay for 300 here so good deal

Let’s play a game. One of these is not like the other:
Delicious, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Corn
Can you guess which one doesn’t belong?
Are these as hard as real Corn Nuts?
@craigthom
In the past people have said they were not. I must admit I’m sorely tempted to get a set this time
@craigthom No, these are much more edible than the Corn Nuts brand snacks.
@chienfou @craigthom do it they’re really good! and hell of a bargain at this price too.
@chienfou @craigthom @everfalling Real Corn Nuts are not as hard as they were decades ago. I eat tons of them.
@chienfou @everfalling @Limewater OK, thanks. They are still available, so I’m in.

@dperez @everfalling mine are still in the original cardboard box which is not quite two cubic feet. They’d probably fit in about half that.
Alright there’s enough glowing reviews here, guess I’ll go all in.

I want wing burnt ends.
So, people-who-bought-these-last-time, do these destroy your teeth or no?
@awk my teeth are doing fine. I chew them half a bag at a time with my molars. Sometimes the corn sticks to your teeth for a few seconds, but nbd.
@awk I’ve ate several and they are corn nuts yet not real tough although dentist do say eye have an exceptional mouth.
Most are fairly soft there’s an occasional tough one here and there in certain bags. As, you get many bags and I’ve had about 25-30 bags guessing. Eat about 2-3 bags a week.
@awk @btwonder At this rate eye will be threw the box within a few years.
@awk @btwonder These didn’t have much to do with destroying my teeth. It was more the sodas all day, every day, that did it.
@whomeyesu Is this your dentist?
Got them last time. They are pretty good and not too hard to crutch on. Wish they had some of the other flavors though. I’d like to try the salt & vinegar ones.

I bought these last time and they’re delicious. The worst thing about them is the pile of wrappers screaming GUILT at me after I eat seven of them.
Maybe meh should just start using these for packing material in IRKs.
@gdorn they are at least more cushy than trakr pixels

They are pretty good. Not as hard as “Corn Nuts” brand. And I do have to say it is a stunning amount of corn nuts.
The first time I ordered these they were MUCH better. They were toastier and airy-er if that makes sense. These are still tasty but not as toasted. Might hesitate on purchasing next time since you get so many.
