100% correct

But what is "clickbait," really? Does it even exist at all?

Candy corn is not a good sugar delivery system.

Every other candy on the planet is better.

Well, maybe not circus peanuts.

A slap in the face to both circuses and peanuts.

Finish your candy corn! There are starving children in hell!

Wait. You’re supposed to EAT candy corn? I thought it was just ammo for your wrist rocket?

Everybody knows that candy corn is the xmas fruitcake of Halloween. Nobody actually keeps them, they send them away or use them again year after year.

And that designer organic candy corn sold at PCC each year isn't worth it.

"Dan and ME," not "Dan and I." You're like the object of the verb, so use me, not I.

I like candy corn and fruitcake. And I used to like Applets and Cotlets, for those of you who’ve been here awhile.

I’m not ashamed.

I also like candy corn (not fruitcake though).

Also, white chocolate is delicious. Dark chocolate is terrible and the darker it is, the more terrible it is.

@9:

Applets and Cotlets are my mom's favorite candy.

@3:

I'm with you inre: Circus Peanuts. Peeps too; might as well chew on Styrofoam packing, which is probably more nutritious, if less sweet-tasting.

This just gets posted exactly as it is every year at this time, doesn't it? : D

I once tried shoving a candy corn kernel up my nose to try shooting it at my brother. It didn't work, not squishy enough to get a good seal, and it kind of hurt. But still better than eating it.

Sure, you say you don't like candy corn but if it somehow vanished from the planet, you'd miss it sooner or later, even if only so you could write these articles every year.

I don't know what's worse about circus peanuts, the fact that they contain zero peanuts, or the fact that they're "banana" flavored. They are the Bombay duck of confectionery. I also hate candy corn. But I like Aplets and Cotlets.

This is a great paragraph, and true. I do indeed respect the potential of this Gen of Stranger writers. Keep it up!

Yesterday I got my chance to run through this annual routine when Dan grabbed a fistful of candy corn and literally threw a couple kernels at me. After sampling the candy once again, I am happy to announce that I think candy corn still tastes like crusty frosting, like oldness in general, like spoiled honey, like someone else's rotten tooth, like a lightly sweetened earplug, like a million tiny glossy mistakes.

And applets and cotlets.... yum.

Applets and Cotlets! Lovely and sooooo not Type 2 diabetic-friendly! But I eat some every once in a while.

I love candy corn. SOOOO GOOOOD!!!

The real question is, why has no company (as far as I can tell) packaged the corn so that it is sticking tapered end down into some kind of cylinder, so it actually looks like a corncob?

I mean, other than the fact that candy corn is fucking disgusting

I swear Candy Corn used to taste better in the early 1960s or maybe it's because I was 5 years old. But it was the pre-corn syrup era so you never know. Can't stand it now. Actually I thought this article was about Kettle Corn and I was about to get really huffy.

The thing you fail to realize is that the reason candy corn tastes 50 years old is because it is. All candy corn on earth was actually produced at Hanford as an unfortunate byproduct of Cold War plutonium production in the 1950's.

In an unfortunate gaffe of red tape, 3 megatons of candy corn was accidentally sold at a government surplus auction and was released onto the open market. They were hoping it would eventually go away... until someone pointed out that candy corn has a half-life of 250,000 years.

Delicious!!!

21: Wait: there's an idea there-mix candy corn AND kettle corn and serve THAT. Add some sugar ginger pieces to it. That gives you a variety of complimentary flavors and textures.

I sometimes wonder how many uppity Seattlites claim to not like Aplets and Cotlets but say they like Turkish Delight?

@25:

And...why DID Constantinople get the works?
