I’m one of approximately 17% of the population that likes candy corn.

I like the traditional orange/yellow/white. I prefer the rarer white/orange/brown. I do not want candy corn in weird pastel Easter colors or red and green for Christmas. I don’t know when or why we started doing that, but we should stop. That might be the first step toward becoming a civilized society again.

I picked up a bag of Brach’s Autumn Mix a couple weeks ago. It’s got the little pumpkins in it, but not the little corn cobs. Does anyone else remember those?

Anyway, here’s a brief history of candy corn: https://www.history.com/articles/candy-corn-invented

And I totally forgot that it has its own day, Oct. 30. Plenty of time to stock up.
