High fructose corn syrup heaven!...

PS: @SSSdave wins the thread for consuming not just plenty of candy corn, but one year old candy corn while feeding the broken leftovers to innocent, little trick or treaters! :roflmao::eek::beercheer:
Well actually haha, as someone living decades in a large community of condo 4-plexes with few children, I haven't been handing out candy for decades as kids only knock on the few doors with usual decorations. I enjoy eating candy and sweets in moderation though tend to eat small quantities of anything at meals. Yeah eat like a bird and never much red meat.

All the candy corn that's ever existed was made in 1923. It gets passed around, recycled, etc. I used to like it okay, but then, alas, I got ahold of an earwax-flavored one. Actually, they all taste like earwax.

Seems to be jumping on the hard seltzer fad, with Mountain Dew branding.... not quite the same as the Mountain Dew/Grenadine/Vodka concoction we used to make in college... it was dubbed "Skittles" since it tasted vaguely like them.

I'm 100% sure it's cheaper for them this way - no distillation, no pricey grenadine pomegranate/orange aromatics AND a chance to play the Collab Culture marketing game with the Sam Adams lot.

I don't know why I love candy corn, because I don't really eat much candy anyhow but I do and I buy a bag of it every October. This time the only bag they had at Target was the three pound bag so I just went for it and I've been munching a few every day and plan to munch a few for as many days as it takes to munch it down. I'm gonna go munch a few right now...

Careful... a few turns into a handful turns into a lot pretty easily. :)
