no one hates candy corn. and if they say they do, they’re robots ready to kill you and your family.
@carl669
All of your fucking family.
Pls!
@carl669 @f00l I hate candy corn.
@carl669 I passed the captcha.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
@RiotDemon damn. even @mediocrebot is on to you… and he’s not the sharpest pencil in the pack.
@carl669 @mediocrebot @RiotDemon @Barneybot is the bestest bot. @mediocrebot is stoopid.
@carl669 @RiotDemon Which makes you especially dangerous!
@carl669 @RiotDemon
Uh …
Ouch?
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@carl669 Dude, I respect you and agree with you on lots of stuff. But here, you’re just wrong. So wrong. Candy corn is the treat of the devil. Hey, maybe that’s why you like it?
@pitamuffin
@carl669
Mmmm.

@lordbowen is that how they get the white to stick to the orange to stick to the yellow - glue gun?
Also explains a bit of the flavor…
Oh Candy Corn! How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways!
[Pours out bag on table and starts counting]
Actually the truth is more complicated. Forgetting my disdain for the confection, I pop one in my mouth. It’s not great, but not so bad. So I pop another in my mouth. About that time, the strange waxy texture and cloying sweetness begin to assault my senses in a vile duet of cacophony. So the number in the bag that I hate are the number in the bag minus 1.
@mehcuda67
No retroactive hate for the first one?
/giphy retroactive
@f00l Nah, no need to be petty about it. It’s not like it Rick Rolled me or anything.
“A survey conducted this year by the NCA found 58% of people just pop the whole candy corn in their mouth. However, 29% will start by eating the narrow white tip at the top, while 13% will eat the yellow portion at the bottom first.”
I’m part of the 29% when I’m not shoving them in my mouth by the handful. Candy corn is like crack. Not that I actually know because…
@Gypsigirl213 I also start at the white part - when I was a kid I’d just bite that part off and leave the rest.
@stolicat A belated happy Meh-anniversary! 10 days ago was your one year anniversary for joining! Can’t wait for my big day!
@Gypsigirl213 Why, thank you! It was a quiet celebration
@Gypsigirl213 I usually save the white part for last because it’s the best part.
I’m wondering if all of these people who hate candy corn are putting the whole thing in their mouths at once.
@Limewater
@Gypsigirl213 So what does the 29% do when they encounter a kernel that is brown on either end? Does their usual rule apply? Do they put it back into the bag? Do they collapse in frustration and indecision?
@ThunderChicken I’ve never seen brown on candy corn. Not sure what brand you’re buying or what store you’re buying them in, but if I were to encounter a brown white part, I’d definitely be in the collapse in frustration and indecision camp as my reality would be shattered.
@Gypsigirl213 @ThunderChicken It’s chocolate flavored. I don’t like it.
/image brach’s harvest corn
@Gypsigirl213 @Limewater I save the white part for last too. It’s the best.
@ThunderChicken Hm. I’d try it. It still has the white part so my reality stays intact.
@Gypsigirl213 That’s it! Step out of your comfort zone. Spread your wings and fly!
I don’t hate it! It’s one of my favorite candies, actually.
@PooltoyWolf Me too. My friend buys me a bag of Brachs every October. I eat it when I’m at his house so I don’t eat the whole bag at once.
@Fuzzalini I love it!
@PooltoyWolf Even the bricked version?
@Kidsandliz One bite at a time!
I like candy corn AND circus peanuts.
@cinoclav Clavvy, so do I.
@cinoclav @moonhat call @sammydog01 in here. She’d fit right in.
@cinoclav @moonhat @RiotDemon
@cinoclav Same here!!
@cinoclav
My people!
@cinoclav I’m down for the candy corn, but circus peanuts
Because it’s not chocolate or jello.
It’s got three major food groups: high fructose corn syrup, food coloring, wax - what’s not to love?
Yeah CC is great… but to REALLY get the full-on sugar rush pop some of those pumpkins in your mouth!
@chienfou Totally. Diabetes in a bag.
@Fuzzalini
Did you guys see this report?? Candy corn is #1 ( and rightly so)
@tinamarie1974 I’m really surprised to see Snickers in the top 10 list, but not Milky Way or 3 Musketeers!
@PooltoyWolf agree on all counts!
Gross… I don’t know what’s worse than those candy pumpkins/candy corn but for some reason I can never remember so I always eat one or two. Then I’m overloading from sugar coma and my teeth feel like their starting to decay right in my mouth and I remember why.
I like the popcorn balls that you find at big lots or some dollar store. Their kinda sweet. Umm so good.
@star2236 Part of the problem with CC is that some brands do taste like crap. Brachs is typically a pretty good bet though.
that’s kind of the appeal!
@chienfou @star2236 this is like jellybeans. Most jellybeans are disgusting. Jelly Bellys are tasty, however.
But… I still don’t really like candy corn. A couple of pieces, and I’m done.
@chienfou @RiotDemon @star2236 Just like candy corn, I think Brach’s jelly beans are the best ‘regular’ jelly beans. I hate having to pick through the Jelly Belly flavors to find the ones I like.
@chienfou @cinoclav @RiotDemon @star2236 overall jelly beans aren’t my fave but the black ones are delicious!
@chienfou @cinoclav @moonhat @star2236
/giphy gag
@chienfou @cinoclav @moonhat @RiotDemon @star2236 agree on the black licorice jelly beans, but only good ones. Overall I prefer the spice jelly beans vs fruit ones.
Because it tastes like candle wax and sugar. Nuf said.
@dagirlgenius Candle was and honey. Which is way yummier.
Because things like this exist.
@mike808 that is just wrong. Please tell me you dis not buy it?!?!?!
@tinamarie1974 Just answering the question, ma’am.
@mike808 whew, I was worried about you for a second
@mike808 @tinamarie1974 Well, I’d try that… but alas, no TJ within 90 miles
“A new survey from CandyStore.com has concluded that the absolute “worst Halloween candy” on the market is candy corn — the tricolor, vaguely triangular treat that seems to be nearly everywhere ahead of Halloween.”
“Candy corn slid up into the No. 1 spot this year. Knocking circus peanuts off the throne. Which is really saying something,” wrote CandyStore.com in a blog post.
I think I eat an average of 3 bags every October. I love candy corn.
Just ordered 44oz of mellowcreme pumpkins for my son for halloween. SURPRISE!
@chienfou OK, so they got delivered on Sunday and he was thrilled.
Just goes to show some people have good taste!
The other day I learned that if you mix candy corn and roasted and salted peanuts in the correct proportion, is tastes pretty much like a Payday bar.
@Limewater yep, good stuff!
Might s’well glug down some karo syrup it tastes the same.
I use candy corn to decorate cookies. This time I bought some off brand ones since that’s what the grocery store had. They taste awful. Brach’s are way better.
@sammydog01 cute!!
Because it’s garbage in candy form.
@DJ you are obviously confusing (delicious) candy corn with this:
@chienfou I’d probably prefer that over candy corn.
If you get the “harvest” type it has chocolate flavor in there… mmmm choco-candy corn.
