Mrs. BB61 loves them. I'd rather starve. Absolutely nasty things IMHO.

When I was a kid trick or treating, I always threw away the candy corn, along with the Mounds bars.

I like it, or used to, but I avoid it.
My wife, over our thirty years of marriage, has mostly gotten me off the sugary snacks habit. Now, when something's that sweet, I really notice it.

Does anyone else eat them in three pieces, by the colored sections? I can’t just eat a whole one. They have to be eaten by each section of color.
Take Brian Regan's bit on Fig Newtons & replace it with candy corn, that's about how they're consumed here.

It's one of the few candies I can't eat. I don't know if it is the texture or taste that bothers me the most.

My daughter likes them, this is the only time of year that I see them. Wife bought the kid 4 bags.

I tried to link to the right spot, but it isn't working. The whole of this video is very interesting and worth a watch if you're over 40.
But a zoom up to 11:40 will put you at the "Satan's ear wax" part.
