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"

https://www.zazzle.com/evil+candy+corn+gifts

"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."

https://www.simplemost.com/candy-corn-surprise-cake-halloween-recipe/

"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.”

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)
