Is there anyone out there that “sort of likes” candy corn?

In my experience, people either love it or hate it. (I fall into the latter group, though they are better than those pumpkin things)

I like candy corn in as much as I like most candy, which is fine every now and then. Nothing like a good box of jelly bellies, though. I will eat the whole box.

Pumpkin things are atrocious.

I actually just puked seeing a candy corn pizza.

Candy corn is the second nut low of candy, after black licorice.

Marksman · October 17, 2019, 4:58pm

Nailed it.

Liquorice (I don’t qualify it since red “liquorice” doesn’t count) is excellent.

Nope. Marshmallow peeps are the nut low and Jelly Beans are next. Then it’s black licorice and THEN it’s candy corn. None of the products mentioned I even consider edible fwiw.

Top 5 shittiest candies (worst at top):

Circus peanuts
Marshmallow peeps
Those pumpkin things
Candy corn
Those wax(?) soda bottles

Literally or culturally?

Speaking of disgusting gifts no one wants, too soon to propose Unstuck Secret Santa 2019?

I’ve never had a wax soda bottle but it sounds awful. Circus peanuts are lousy as well. What in the nightmare fuel candy world are pumpkin things???

RiskyFlush · October 17, 2019, 5:20pm

Think of soda bottles. Now make them pumpkin flavored. Now bathe them in Putin’s sweat. Now let them sit under Trump’s arse for a minimum of seven days during his executive time. You will only now be approaching how disgusting these things truly are.

MrWookie · October 17, 2019, 5:34pm

I think they’re just candy corn in pumpkin form.

nunnehi · October 17, 2019, 5:39pm

They’re candy corn laminated and plasticized.

eyebooger · October 17, 2019, 5:43pm

They even have a Wikipedia page:

It sounds like it’s a mixture of a marshmallow peep and a candy corn. Nightmare fuel indeed.

simplicitus · October 17, 2019, 5:54pm

Marshmallow peeps are legit. Candy corn is like concentrated sugar with DMT added. Haven’t gone on a candy corn bender since I was a kid, but I’m pretty sure I could taste time.

RiskyFlush · October 17, 2019, 5:55pm

Fair. And peanut candies are the product of candy corn and its first cousin popping out candy babies
