Candy Corn Poll: Halloween Staple Or Disaster?

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"

"Taste is subjective. That being said, candy corn is doodoo."

"Everybody loves candy corn. It is the best candy ever. There is no denying candy corn as number one."

"It’s good in Halloween season like normal corn, but I’m definitely sick of it as soon as November hits."

"I just did a taste test with foreign exchange students and one girl from the Netherlands heard horrible things, but loved it so much that she gave it a 10/10x."

Candy corn is ONLY good if eaten in layers. First the white part, then yellow, then orange.

"nah you got the layers backward you gotta save the white for last so you can pretend you lost a tooth."

"Sorry, don't eat candy corn because it's a veggie."

“Candy corn is wax that crunches in your mouth leaving a weird powdered sugar/wax flavor behind. Making you wonder if you even ate anything at all or if Satan himself simply just decided to grace your taste buds for no discernible reason.”

8 Spotify Playlists To Get You In The Autumn Mood

The temperature may not be very Autumn-like, but these playlists sure are.

King of Wallpapers

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?

Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone of all ages. There are so many fun things to do in the month of October before Halloween and the day of Halloween. I love Halloween especially with all the candy and different types of goodies. Halloween is for everyone that enjoys to be a part of this wonderful holiday and also be careful on Halloween as well. It gives everyone a chance to show what they love to do as well.
