I’m not disagreeing with that, but you can do so much worse.
Case in point: Good and Plenty, and black licorice in general. I’m not saying you can’t acquire a taste for either, certainly someone is eating them, but why would you want to? Candy corn is just kind of waxy and sweet, like a non-chocolate tootsie roll.
But tootsie rolls have a ton of flavors. If you don’t like chocolate, get the vanilla flavor. If you don’t like either, get the bag of mixed fruit flavors. Surely you’ll enjoy one of those more than whatever that candy corn flavor is.
Candy corn reminds me of peeps, they’re a candy you’re supposed to have at a given time of year, and we largely have them out of habit or tradition. But you don’t see them the rest of the year. Why? They’re not very good and we largely eat them out of habit.
Reject stupid traditions and don’t force yourself to eat subpar candy. Tootsie rolls are also far down the tier list, but still way better than candy corn.
I’m just saying, I would be at least 3x as miffed as a kid getting black licorice, or raisins, or some other bullshit in my candy pail than candy corn.
When you’re an adult, it’s different, you can have whatever kind of candy whenever you want, regardless of the time of year – when you’re a kid, you’ll take candy corn every day of the week over a lot of other subpar halloween hand-outs. And even as an adult, sure, I wouldn’t willingly buy a bag of it to eat for myself, but if I were given the choice between eating a handful of candy corn or a handful of Good and Plentys, yeah, I’m taking the candy corn.
