Now you know.

[Attjack]

Hopefully, 1 because after having to eat 1, I would wish for death.

[Jerod Broussard]

Love candy 🌽. Not hip on the Halloween colors though.

[FireMan]

Yup Jerod! The best fried cacklebirds is in a gas station, in Fond du Lac.

[Reds Fan 5]

Candy corn is my least favorite candy. It’s basically candle wax. I have had some great fried chicken from gas stations.

[Jessterr]

I love candy corn.

[Rob whatever]

Candy corn is the worst confectioner’s offering invented. So, before I die, I will have zero candy corn.

Sitting here watching John Wick and snacking…

Guess I should’a kept a count…

[Washblue]

You married right, Texas Larry !
She knows what’s good!

[texastweeter]

You can keep the candy corn, but ill take the goobers!

[Washblue]

This ratio tastes like PayDay candy bars… texastweeter and a whole lot cheaper…

Well, not counting the extra trips to the Dollar General…

[MBMorgan]

Hey ... I like the stuff ... so I guess that my answer to the original question would be: "Don't know yet".

[Michael_in_TX]

Same here....it's kinda my favorite candy. But I only eat a few per year.....

[Timbo54]

I Like the yellow color better than the orange and white since I was a little kid.

[holehogg]

Stop feeding the gullet when you reach 1400 units and you should be good to go.

[texastweeter]

I hate that $#!+. Supposed to taste like honey, well I think it taste horrible. Gimme some black licorice anyday.

[Texas Larry]

+1 on black licorice, but I like candy corn too.

There was this poll back in 2019 about Halloween candy.

[Attjack]

I can see Reece's being #1 and Snickers being high on the list. But Kit Kats should be up there too though. Hershey's is pretty terrible chocolate so unless it's being dipped in peanut butter no way it's even on my list.

[WayneT]

Attjack I concur with your completely objective assessment of Hershey's chocolate! Where's that vomit emoji?

[Spinaker]

Candy Corn and Good and Plenty need to go the way of the Dodo. Literally should be uninvented and washed under the sands of time.

[texastweeter]

See, and that's why you got made a moderator, smart man.

[WayneT]

Wow! Peoples' passions have been stirred and there's a lot of candy corn hate going on here. I actually like the stuff but only eat it once a year. I get the Brach's 2.5 lb bag in late September and never touch the stuff again after Halloween.

[Washblue]

According to the National Confectioners Association, an estimated 35 million pounds of candy corn are sold each year. This comes out to be around 9 billion kernels of candy corn produced annually.

[WayneT]

Ummm, that's about 27 kernels per person per year in the US alone.

[Murdy]

That's enough to kill over 6.3 million people.
