The Candy Corn Debate: Love it or Hate it?

Every fall, candy corn makes its return on our shelves, and so does the debate over whether it’s delicious or disgusting. With its bright orange, yellow, and white stripes, candy corn is one of the most recognizable Halloween treats. It was first made in the late 1800s and was originally called “chicken feed,” since it looked like kernels of corn. Even though it’s made mostly of sugar and corn syrup, people either love its chewy sweetness or can’t stand its texture. Whether you eat it or just use it as decoration, candy corn has become a symbol of Halloween itself.
