https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgTvgQfcllM

Candy corn is practically synonymous with Halloween. If the first sign of spring is a cardinal, candy corn definitely is a sign fall is here. You'd think this staple would be widely loved (why else would it be so popular) but people cannot agree. Who knew just how radically polarized people are about candy corn? Here's a list of hilarious, proud and disgusted consumers weighing in their thoughts about the Halloween treat.

"Candy Corn is the Devil's Earwax."

"Whoever said that [candy corn is the Devil's earwax] is a Halloween hatin' jerk."

"Candy corn is what you get when you add food coloring and sugar to a drop of glue."

"Candy corn is something you know exists and should be editable, but nobody you know has actually eaten it"

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
