I hate candy corn, but those little pumpkins made from the same earwax and termite honey are kind of okay sometimes. I think because the shape leaves the inside a little less dry.

That is the best description of that horrid mass. 🤣🤢🤘🏼

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

People don't like candy corn??

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'm like the only person I know IRL who likes it. The most common complaint is the texture but that's my favorite part

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 0 points 3 months ago

My favorite part is using them as monster teeth! I like to nibble them from pointy tip to fat ass one at a time when eating them, the texture is perfect!

I only know of one other person in real life that actually likes them, most people dislike or are indifferent.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I love that tasty compacted sand

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

Candy corn is one of the only sugar based candies I like. But only fresh, if it's stale it's as bad as Skittles or smarties

Everyone is somebody's marmite.

I would like that on a t-shirt with a lone pika on a rock howling into the wild, open sky as the background image. 🤪

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

OMG you need to search "pika yawning" because I can't choose one for you!

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

I like candy corn, but only enough that I am fine with just a single handful, once a year.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I can barely make it through a single piece, but at least it's better than a communion wafer? 😅🤢🤪

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago

Actually, I could probably eat way more ~~styrofoam discs~~ communion wafers. They're not sickly-sweet. 🤣

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago

I wonder if there's a market for a "joke" snack food like white cheddar popcorn in a shape ironically similar to communion wafers... I hear they go great with shitty red wine, so that's a huuuge market just waiting for a new product. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

I unironically like white cheddar rice cakes becsuse they make me think of popcorn condensed into a communion wafer. Similar texture, and they taste super good.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

See? There's a market for sure!

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The key with candy corn is mixing it up with peanuts or any kind of nut really. Then it's just a payday.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well that is something new to try this year, I've never mixed them with anything before.

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

What if corn syrup was somehow both chalky and waxy? I bet people would pay us to put that in their mouths.

[-] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

I would. I'm eating the pumpkins right now

Candy corn is a small, pyramid-shaped candy, typically divided into three sections of different colors, with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, strawberry, and vanilla.It is a staple candy of the fall season and Halloween in North America.

Candy corn's traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent the colors of the fall harvest, or of corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

Candy corn has a reputation for generating polarizing responses, with articles referring to it as "Halloween's most contentious sweet" which people either "love" or "hate".

Candy corn's traditional colors of yellow, orange, and white represent [...] corn on the cob with the wide yellow end resembling a corn kernel.

This is why it's called candy corn. Because, when stacked, it starts to look like corn on the cob.

It's supposed to look like feed corn =D

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Feed corn tastes better.

[-] LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

... with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, strawberry, and vanilla.

Wait, wut? There's supposed to be different flavors? I just tasted sugar, sugar, and sugar (... and I love 'em).

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

Maybe it's saying that it's a single flavor, which is a combination of honey+sugar+strawberry+vanilla?

I've never even seen candy corn, so I am just guessing wildly...

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

The three sections have always tasted different to me.
