I look forward to fall every year for the candy corn. I’m so excited when I see the first bag. ---

So I’d say you are the only _two_ who like candy corn. They look like little traffic cones, and I bet traffic cones taste better. ---

I like candy corn. And also those little mallocreme candies that they make out of the same stuff (you know, those little pumpkins and ghosts and stuff.) mmmmm…candy corn ---

I like candy corn a lot. If you don’t pay attention to your stomach and eat too many, you get sick as hell though. ---

I like candy corn. I like to eat the layers seperately. It is just basically sugar and corn syrup right? So I don’t eat it. But I like cotton candy and Circus Peanuts. ---

I absolutely LOVE candy corn! And I also like circus peanuts. **Commie\_sho** is right, though. Gotta be careful with that stuff or you wind up with one hell of a tummy ache! 🙂 ---

I read the thread title as “candy porn” and my mind flashed to … well, never mind. ---

It has to be good candy corn. My wife tried to pawn a bag of “Honey Sweetened” candy corn on me a few weeks ago. Nasty, nasty, nasty. ---

Circus peanut? Oh, **Wallet** that’s just gross! It’s like a marshmallow someone found 40 years later inside a long lost shoe. Candy corn is yummy though. Best if you eat one colour at a time (starting at the point). Tends to be a bit too sweet though, so I can only eat a little bit. ---

I’m very picky about my candy corn, but good Brach’s candy corn I love. I eat it in layers too, starting from the widest part. -Lil ---

The stuff we got this year is awful. If you have never had good candy corn, I ditto the Brach’s suggestion. ---

Candy corn is good in moderation. I can eat about a handful before my stomach hurts. ---

I like candy corn, but I, too have one too many corn-related stomach aches to buy my own bag anymore. So now I either find someone to split with or mooch off the receptionist at work. ---

No, you most certainly are not the only one who likes candy corns! Mmm, a guilty pleasure…but yea, they do make you sick after a while! ---

As I have said before, if anyone ever wants to seduce me, they could , with candy corn. Or maybe I said that about chocolate covered espresso beans but it definitely goes for the gorgeous candy corn also. ---

I love Candy Corn (and hate circus peanuts)!!! Simple delicious snack…One bag of candy corn mixed up with one can of salted peanuts. Eat it by the handful and it tastes just like a PayDay! ---

As much as I love candy corn, I didn’t even buy any this year. It’s true though, if you eat too much you feel soooo sick. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/am-i-the-only-one-who-likes-candy-corn/212224.md?page=2)
