Absolutely not. If I wanted terrible Halloween candy, I would drive to Target right now. Oh wait, they just closed for the night. So, first thing in the morning. And then, eventually, Goodwill.
@kus Well… they sell Target clearance which frequently includes the least popular holiday candy. On the other hand, I was in a Target earlier today and saw absolutely no candy corn. Which was seriously weird. I’m still not sorry I didn’t buy any.
My boyfriend loves this shit. We have a ton in the house and he got more this week at the after halloween candy sales “Cause it’s shaped different!” (Pumpkins instead of corn)
Well I was drunk last time they had candy corn and jumped on the 50 for 50. My plan (that some other meher suggested) was to hand it out on Halloween. The problem i noticed was with the packing and shipping. 90% of the bags were ‘popped’ only a couple had intact seals. I still handed everything out and was the rockstar of the neighborhood. Not sure how the parents will react to compromised bags
Meh management wake the F up your stupidity and or greed in buying pallats of nearly expired crap is putting your value on your customer base as zero. It’s like you are saying F you wonderful subscribers. You’ll buy our crap no matter what. Wrong. Its starting to get annoying and offensive.
@legaldreamteam what makes you say they are nearly expired? Every bag I’ve seen from Meh has already been passed the sell by date according to Ferrara (the parent company)… I know they list January 2018 as the sell by date, but I think it’s a bit of a fib.
@RiotDemon@sammydog01
You are both correct, I think it is the best by date, but here is the exact quote from their email:
“The package code indicates that the product has expired. Please note that it is the stores responsibility to rotate their stock and pull any outdated packages to ensure freshness.”
Either way, there is no way the best if sold by by date is in January… I mean, it is shitty candy corn that I basically got by accident so it isn’t that big of a deal, but still shady.
@sammydog01 Yeah, their support form is super weird, especially on a phone. I totally forgot about the forced caps. Kinda funny when you put it that way.
Sorry, I bought two 11 oz. bags of Brach’s Classic Candy Corn made with real honey for 20 cents each at my local supermarket on Nov. 1. That’s already more than I want and a much bigger bargain too.
I love candy corn, so I’ve already purchased several bags this season – which is how I know $11 ($6 + $5 shipping) isn’t a bargain. They have it at Target for maybe $2 per 11 oz. bag.
Well, I just picked up a 40oz bag of regular Brach’s candy corn for a dollar, plus three bags of assorted mellocremes ( which I like more) for 50 cents each. I think I am all set for a while. So, cheaper and the closest sell by date is 5-17-18.
So… fuck it. I know I can buy it cheaper on clearance (and it’s probably fresher) but why risk the embarrassment of being seen in public doing so?
/giphy cranky-wise-tiger
I hope meh gives us final stats on how much of this shit we’ve bought, how much was consumed at meh hq, how much was bundled… i just bought more because my last few bags were given out when i ran out of fidget spinners.
Wasn’t going to bite until I read the chance of getting “the rest” of it. Can’t pass up the chance to see a massive box of candy corn appear at my door.
They’ve been trying to get rid of it forever, and now when the are within striking distance, they auto-pause it to give people a chance talk themselves out of it. Noobs, the time is now!
People. Look at the “Who’s buying this crap?” map. Meh is not going to send you a pallet of candy corn if you live in Washington, Michigan, Vermont, or whatevah (all those other states are) while they have suckers close to home in Texas.
Some lucky Houston Astros fan is going to get it all. It’s like lightning striking twice in the same place.
@sligett they had been planning to send a pallet of broken TV’s to me (except I had no place to put them out of the weather so I had to decline unfortunately as I could have likely make one or more working ones out of the broken ones) and I lived, at the time, a good 8 hour drive from them. So I’d guess they will likely be willing to send some out of state - especially if certain, umm, loudly visible, people enter the contest to get the remains by buying some.
They should have just titled today’s sale the candy corn give away contest, purchase required to enter.
Well since meh no longer gives out freebies like in the beginning, and I could use some Christmas socks ;)) . and how the fukubuckaroo BC bag orders seem rigged for new members, and now tempting with free candy corn… Lol, I can’t wait to see the follow through
Paused? NOOOOOO! You need to not sell out- THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF SENDING SOMEONE ALL THE LEFTOVER CANDY CORN! If you sell out this was just a stupid purchase. Please don’t make it a stupid purchase. I HAVE TOO MANY OF THOSE ALREADY!
$2 a bag? Are you kidding me? The grocery stores around here have the leftovers for far less trying to get it the heck off their shelves to make room for christmas candy.
@gregormehndel Well I’d agree. Usually all I want of candy corn is a small handful about once or twice a year. Now decent chocolate… that is a different matter.
I find it interesting that they said Lucky…and in quotes. Quite a different word than randomly selected. Means they reserve the right to select the ‘lucky’ individual. Will it be the goat @djslack? Some ‘lucky’ Kickstarter @lichme? A VMPer @cinoclav? Some disgruntled boob @legaldreamteam? Scratch that last one you have to pay to play. Hmm. Who will be lucky today?
@kykazaa I am taking active measures to ensure none of that stuff ever takes the trip from Carrollton to my house. I didn’t buy any so it won’t be me. Plus, a sellout is imminent.
You got me! I LOVE candy corn, I wait for it to go on sale locally and stock up every year. However, could not bring myself to pay so much per bag for the “good stuff”, no matter how sweet the deal. I’ve resisted every dang offering on Meh up until now… maybe I’m afraid once I try the “real” candy corn, I’ll never go back to the fake crap, then I’ll be looking for it here, and looking, and looking, but it will be gone. Long gone. Quite a conundrum. But I just had to get in on the whoopla… Perhaps you should have told us “this is the last chance” back in October… BTW, my very first purchase on Meh was the Neoprin cases , and I never looked back. Love your write-ups, the forums, the community. Thanks, Meh-never a dull moment!
@djslack if they called it a sweepstake it would be illegal. As a contest it is not, but they’d have to have some sort of criteria for winning besides buying candy corn.
Kids on Halloween we’re losing their baby minds over those fidget spinners- teens were yelling and jumping. How can I not get this as thanks for making our house The Best House?!!
(Though, the order number doesn’t bode well for more than the 3 bags, it’s hilarious!)
This might have been a yuge deal for MEH. Remember some guy in a meeting said “Let’s make a movie about a tornado full of sharks” It was worth a try, never be afraid to buy a semi full of cashews.
I like candy corn… until I don’t. Candy corn is one of those things that tastes great the first few bites and after that makes me wish I never bought it. So I just don’t buy it. Why waste money?
Nutz. I was hoping the trump twitter deleter guy would show up and buy all 275 of them. That would have looked so cool on the pie chart, or corn chart, or ummm, corn pie chart.
I know in 2 weeks I’m gonna have a candy corn craving and there will be no where to find it.
So, what’s the next item Meh’s gonna beat us to death with? Christmas items are too soon–maybe it’s time to bring on the spring garden gnomes.
It appears the if we don’t sell out we’ll send the remainder to one “lucky” person gambit will pay off and they will sell out. UNLESS all of us VMPers refrain from buying any so our allotment goes to that one “lucky” person…
Just sayin’
@chienfou Be truly democratic, equal quantities for all that bought today. Share the wealth. Oh, wait… ,on second thought, lets send them all to Bernie Sanders!
So Meh is sold out of candy corn except for a few for the VMP’s. Thank God, The Magical Pasta, the Great Pumpkin, or what ever other deity you worship that this time has finally arrived.
Given that I lead an exceptionally dull life, I decided to spend part of my Saturday morning calculating roughly how much candy corn has actually changed hands over the last few months.
This isn’t exact because the 10/7 deal sold 3/6/50 bags, and I couldn’t find a breakdown of how much they sold of each so I had to estimate based on the pie chart. But it should be close.
So, without further ado:
Total bags sold: 9,351
Total weight: 172,993.5 oz (10,812.09 lbs, or 5.41 tons)
Total candy corn revenue: $18,702 (assuming $2/bag)
Total revenue for all candy-corn days: $46,076 (including shipping, knives, spinners, blankets, etc)
So my guess is, someone at meh had a bit too much to drink one day and said “hey, why don’t we buy FIVE AND A HALF TONS OF CANDY CORN?!” And nobody stopped him.
@demonbane That’s fantastically disturbing… Even scarier is whatever Christmas shit they get us to buy next… I think you deserve an honorary candy corn emoji for your sleuthing work…
@demonbane As was noticed elsewhere, we managed to get sell a few bags outside of Meh & MorningSave. By @moose’s calculations, we had a total of 6.66 tons.
Got mine a few days ago. Put a sealed back on the work counter, completely gone 38 minutes later. When I say completely gone, I mean all that was left was the bag. Either one person really likes it, or it’s a secret crowd favorite on my floor.

@mossygreen I didn’t know Goodwill sells Halloween candy…
@kus Well… they sell Target clearance which frequently includes the least popular holiday candy. On the other hand, I was in a Target earlier today and saw absolutely no candy corn. Which was seriously weird. I’m still not sorry I didn’t buy any.
Okay, the line “sending it all out whether it sells or not” has tempted me to order one bag in this Candy Corn Fire Sale to see just how many I get.
@stuntdriver same and I actually like candy corn, but just not the orange section of it…

@narfcake only slightly!
Just hang your head in shame Meh buyers.
This makes me a bit sad. I need something to look forward to on Friday nights. Maybe gummy bears next week?
Did I buy one just because I might get a crate of it?
Maybe.
Six bucks would be okay. Eleven bucks is too much. Enthusiasm killed by shipping.
@tcomeau21042 It’s for the best, really. Thank the scapegoat for that, 'k?

My local market was packing it up yesterday, presumably to ship it to meh. (I’m also tempted to order some just to see what happens…)

Meh management wake the F up your stupidity and or greed in buying pallats of nearly expired crap is putting your value on your customer base as zero. It’s like you are saying F you wonderful subscribers. You’ll buy our crap no matter what. Wrong. Its starting to get annoying and offensive.

@legaldreamteam Nope, we pretty much will buy whatever they sell. Except for Yeti coolers. We have to draw the line somewhere.
@legaldreamteam You can subscribe to meh?
@legaldreamteam what makes you say they are nearly expired? Every bag I’ve seen from Meh has already been passed the sell by date according to Ferrara (the parent company)… I know they list January 2018 as the sell by date, but I think it’s a bit of a fib.
@psantora sell by and eat by are two totally different things.
@psantora I think they called it a best by date. A sell by date wouldn’t be in code.
@sammydog01 But I would have bought a Yeti cooler if it was priced at $20…
@RiotDemon @sammydog01
You are both correct, I think it is the best by date, but here is the exact quote from their email:

Either way, there is no way the best if sold by by date is in January… I mean, it is shitty candy corn that I basically got by accident so it isn’t that big of a deal, but still shady.
@psantora Weird. If they cared they would put a date on it. It’s not like the stock dude at the grocery store is gonna look up the lot number.

Purchasing today’s deal like Russian Roulette with candy corn. I love it.
Well, I just picked up a 40oz bag of regular Brach’s candy corn for a dollar, plus three bags of assorted mellocremes ( which I like more) for 50 cents each. I think I am all set for a while. So, cheaper and the closest sell by date is 5-17-18.
@ponagathos It comes in 40 ounce bags? Awesome!
@sammydog01
Yes, I thought it was a good deal for a buck. Otherwise I would have just picked up the mellewcremes. They were 11 oz.

@hafner or skip the foil and just zap it for around 1.5-2 minutes in the microwave…

Final update, taking into account the VMP-only sales from this afternoon:
@demonbane As was noticed elsewhere, we managed to get sell a few bags outside of Meh & MorningSave. By @moose’s calculations, we had a total of 6.66 tons.
@dave That. Is. Just. Gross.

@medz Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot You mean our long National nightmare is finally over?
@medz I think the problem there is you wrote mvp, not vmp. Other than that, it should totally, definitely work.
@Thumperchick dang it. No wonder
@medz I bet it will work for those speakers- give it a try.
Same time next year meh?
@Anthonysc Let’s hope not!
@narfcake I hope they do! They can just dump the extra in my living room and save everyone else a lot of time.
Don’t think I won the corn lottery. Mine is showing 3.8 pounds. Could be a placeholder, though.
@medz they sold out. No extra to be given away.
I only got 3 bags.

@medz That giphy makes me gag.

@sammydog01 you don’t like bananas?

@RiotDemon I like bananas, just not in that way.
/giphy not in that way
@medz I guess if I ever want to eat a banana in public again, I’ll do it like that next time.
@sammydog01 but he likes them that way!
Got my 6 bags! Should hold me until the excess Easter candy comes available. NO PEEPS!!
Got mine a few days ago. Put a sealed back on the work counter, completely gone 38 minutes later. When I say completely gone, I mean all that was left was the bag. Either one person really likes it, or it’s a secret crowd favorite on my floor.
