@cengland0 That’s about what I was going to say. Keep the candy and lower the price for just the knife. The candy is still for sale on morning save so I’m guessing Meh is hoping people will gloss over the laxative (as someone previously called it) and just see the knife since we have been conditioned to expect knives and speakers/docks together.
Watch, all of these schlubs complaining. If I’m the only sucker that fell for this and it turns out to be something else, I’ll have the last laugh. However, if it really turns out to be candy corn and a knife, I’ll still laugh.
This is shit and I’m not buying it but this is the best writeup in months. 10/10. as far as the poll goes, I managed to run myself over with my own car yesterday.
@boygenius1991 if you are the kind of person who manages to run themselves over with their car; you definitely should not buy melted candy corn with a knife.
Or should, but never touch either.
I bought this the first time around and got the bricks of Candy Corn. It was as much because it was packaged in envelopes instead of boxes. I wish they would promise it would be in a box this time. Then I would order this with the knife.
@Thumperchick Fine. Crush my candy corn dreams. I really want a shit ton of candy corn at a low price but I cannot get it because of heat and packaging. Talk about First World problems.
@MasterK999 another option. Get this. Melt in oven - on a jelly roll pan lined with foil. Stick in freezer. Smash into bits.
Candy corn pieces. Like Reese’s pieces, but not.
@MasterK999 Mine was in a box… I also may have ordered the max. (I’m turning some of it into butterfingers, except made with almond butter and dark chocolate!)
Of the six bags in the Almost Seven Pounds deal, three were more or less normal, one showed some signs of melting, and two no longer contained discrete kernels. Then again, this is August and my porch is concrete, so it’s not like I was startled by this.
@windowphobe Similar results for me. 3 bags ok, and 3 bags with partially stuck together kernels. It did not help that the mail carrier jammed the bubble wrap bag into my rural style mail box. And I took my chances having this shipped to southern Arizona. Luckily I was home and able to retrieve the delivery within an hour or so…
Geez even I know not to ship candy or beer by truck through the desert during the summer. We had a situation where we had to ship plastic parts to Califoirnia from Miami in the summer and we had to plastic bag the box and spray 4 or 5 shots of water into the bag then close the box, because trucking across I-10 in the summer would bake any moisture out of the parts and change them dimensionally.
Damn! If it would have had the knife included the first time, I wouldn’t have even had a problem with my 6 lbs of melted corn! Oh well. Not gonna try again. Worst packaging idea ever…
Most of these recipes using candy corn use melted candy corn anyway, so I’ll have a head start. I believe knife alone was $12 last time it sold, so this is just a dollar a bag …
As children we’re warned of strangers giving us halloween candy containing razor blades. Now we’re buying bags of halloween candy BECAUSE they come with a blade…
@rtjhnstn My husband drove a truck for a few yrs and a few loads were all of the mistakes from Mars Candy co… many still in the wrappers and they were all chopped up. A 53’ trailer load… to the cattle farm. Another guy delivered all the left over dregs that you find in the bottom of the cheese doritos bags. Truckloads. One of the reasons I only get grass fed/finished beef.
@lseeber I used to live by a Hershey’s plant and they sold messed up almonds to the local bird store. The titmouses loved them and sometimes there were chunks of chocolate in the bag.
Is there any chance we can get a reasonable but inexpensive folding knife with a blade that is less than three inches long? I lost my last one and have been wanting a replacement. There are a couple of places that I frequent which are fine with people bringing pocket knives as long as the blades are no longer than three inches. While I don’t think anyone is going to measure, I still like to stay within the rules.
@Knightp I agree with sammydog01’s opinion. Mine were shipped slowly, staying over a weekend in some warehouse somewhere but showed up in pretty good shape. The difference, I believe was the shipping box I got over the shipping bag most received.
But @tHumperchick already said this batch were going out in bags. So i was probably really stupide for ordering the “stabby bundle” this time around.
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN LOWER YOURSELVES AND PUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON HERE…IVE BEEN BUYING HERE FOR YRS AND IVE SEEN U GOING DOWNHILL…GET IT OVER WITH AND HANG IT UP MEH! PUT SOME DECENT PRODUCTS ON UR SITE…ID RATHER SEE NOTHING THEN THINGS LIKE THIS…ID RESPECT MEH MORE…BS WHO EVER IS IN CHARGE OF BUYING NEEDS TO GO GO GO
Experiment time: Tried a brick of candy corn and a mandoline. Not bricked enough.
Found a silicone pop mold (thanks Woot boc) and melted candy corn some more.
Was able to release candy corn from mold but too sticky at room temperature and too hard cold.
Put it in the microwave for a few seconds and:
CANDY CORN BUNNY!
@narfcake Forgot to mention my daughter got one of the reversible octos while at comic con. Her response when holding/reversing it for the first time? “THIS IS EVERYTHING!”
I got my “Stabby Bundle” over the weekend. It was shipped properly in a nice, clean, reusable shipping box. You people come near my fluffy candy corn I will cut you.
@sammydog01 In other news, I’ve become one of “those guys” who carry a pocket knife. I typically don’t like a bunch of shit in my pockets weighing me down, but this little knife is pretty light. I can keep it in my back pocket clipped at the ready.
@ThomasF Getcha one of those knives, too. Can’t be too careful walking the mean streets nowadays. I’ve been practicing my one-handed flick to open it using that thumb thingamabob on the blade.
I ordered this the second time around, after son wanted some in the store.
It does not seem to be melted as, smushed. The mail carrier crammed the “mailing bag,” in my mailbox. Was a struggle to get it out.
Yet she would not put hand clippers in the mailbox.
The candy is not stale, I ate three pieces, ewwwww, too sweet! Three bags gone. No complaints from consumers.

Okay, the knife is $18 on Amazon, so the candy corn is all gravy. Sticky gravy.
@KDemo Pretty!

What. In. The. Fuck?
@narfcake - The humor is back!
This. This is what makes me love you meh.
But I already have the melted candy corn. Did you say something about a refund? Or just send me a knife to make up for it.
@sammydog01 Uh huh. They truly actually literally did say something about a refund. But you knew that.
@sligett (Shhh- I want them to send me a knife.)
@sammydog01 Got it! Mum’s the word. You can count on me, I can keep a secret.
Yeah, I bought it… despite my disdain for candy corn… 15 dollar knife and more sugar I can push on the kids in October.

Do I get a refund if the Candy Corn comes UN-melted?
Edit: Oops didn’t read the “fine print” before opening my blabby mouth… NEVERMIND!
@bbf nope. If it arrives in unmelted form, you just have to melt it yourself.
I have a life-threatening allergy to getting stabbed. Can somebody at Meh read the box for the knife to make sure it isn’t all stabby?
@therealjrn Unfortunately meh only sells stabby knives. It’s best if you do not open the knife, or at least have a septic pencil handy.
@cranky1950 Not only stabby knives but Stabby the Unicorn shirts too.

@narfcake Shhhhhh! “Food” and power equipment would be even worse. I fear for humanity.
As children we’re warned of strangers giving us halloween candy containing razor blades. Now we’re buying bags of halloween candy BECAUSE they come with a blade…
Because everyone must slice their high fruc…er…candy corn correctly.
Why doesn’t MEH just sell the leftover candy corn to local ranchers?

@pixelated Worse than this shit?
Is there any chance we can get a reasonable but inexpensive folding knife with a blade that is less than three inches long? I lost my last one and have been wanting a replacement. There are a couple of places that I frequent which are fine with people bringing pocket knives as long as the blades are no longer than three inches. While I don’t think anyone is going to measure, I still like to stay within the rules.
Let me just head this off prophylactically.
I’m a ‘she’, and I never said those things.
@KDemo Less than three inches? No “she” said that ever.
If you want 6 pack ABS you should pass…
Way too expensive.
Got this last time it was for sale (minus the knife). Makes a good fall decoration!
