Yes, you read that correctly. To all those who dismiss candy corn as the “Nickelback of Halloween,” it’s time to reconsider. I’m not writing this to simply express indifference; I’m here to proclaim my love for candy corn. If that bothers you, feel free to munch on a stale Milky Way.
Honestly, it’s tiring to see my favorite Halloween treat get dissed by those who can’t appreciate its unique charm. I know I’m not alone in my affection for candy corn—many of us are tired of hiding in the shadows. Here are just a few reasons why candy corn deserves a place of honor in our Halloween festivities.
1. Unique Texture
For all the folks claiming candy corn feels like wax, let’s get real: if you think wax tastes better, you might want to reassess your snack choices. The texture of candy corn is simply delightful—not too hard, not too soft, with just a hint of crunch. It melts in your mouth and leaves a delightful, sugary sensation behind.
2. It Tastes Like Honey, Not Waste
Let’s clear this up: candy corn tastes like sweet honey, not what you think it does. The comparisons to waste are completely off-base. If anything remotely resembling waste tasted like honey, it would be a cause for celebration. Let’s stop mixing candy corn up with such ridiculous comparisons.
3. A Nostalgic Halloween Classic
The flavor, the iconic triangle shape, the sweet scent—they all evoke memories of Halloweens past. Outside of jack-o-lanterns, nothing brings back those cherished memories quite like candy corn. So, let’s not rob everyone of their sweet nostalgia over some misguided hatred.
4. An Impromptu Costume Accessory
Let’s be honest, how many times have you used candy corn to create fangs for a quick Halloween costume? It’s a rite of passage for children everywhere! We’ve been using candy corn for this purpose since the dawn of time—it’s practically historical!
5. A Test of True Friendship
Want to identify your true friends? Serve them candy corn. If they turn their noses up or refuse to hang out with you again, they can’t handle the real you. Those who criticize your love for candy corn are likely to judge you for other quirks as well. It’s better to know who your real friends are!
6. More Candy for the Enthusiasts
With so many people hopping on the candy corn hate bandwagon, there’s a silver lining: you get more candy corn for yourself! It’s often left uneaten in bowls, and once Halloween is over, it goes on sale. Last November 1, I scored a stockpile of candy corn for 90% off—talk about a win!
7. Surviving the Apocalypse
Anyone who’s raided their grandmother’s pantry knows this is true. My grandmother had candy corn that had survived multiple Halloweens. Sure, it may have lost a bit of its chewiness, but with a little work, it tasted just as good. If you’re prepping for emergencies, why wouldn’t you include something with such a long shelf life?
8. A Decorative Delight
Candy corn isn’t just for snacking; it can also serve as festive decor! Display it in a jar, and watch as people admire your Halloween spirit. Its versatility is remarkable—who knows, it might even be useful for future scientific endeavors!
So, are these eight reasons enough to change your mind? They should be! There’s absolutely no need for such divisiveness over a simple candy. Let’s appreciate everyone’s preferences, be it candy corn, black licorice, or any other quirky treat.
