Corn that is shaped like candy!

I find that for me, the function is more like y=k/x+q, where k is the coefficient of preference for candy corn (assuming x>0, and y=0 is the worst you could possibly feel.)

I agree. I’ll pick them out of the candy corn mix, but I can only eat 2.

Companies stopped making candy corn 20 years ago. They just collect all the discarded candy corn, wash it off, and repackage it again for next year.

j/k obviously but it’s a great lie to tell kids….

Haha I know what you man I am a type 1 diabetic and people are like, “Aww did you eat too much candy?” NO I did not eat too much candy. And whenever I eat anything with sugar people are like,”But I thought you couldn’t eat sugar…” YES I can eat sugar.

And candy corn gives me a stomach ache after about 10 lol.

I have never seen a living human, other than my father, who would so much as put a candy corn in their mouth. No one likes those things. You might as well give out toothbrushes and granola bars on Halloween.

I always understood “mouth orgasms” to be very sour and hard to swallow. Not speaking from experience of course.

Candy corn is delicious! I still eat it and I’m 26. You would probably have to eat a barrelful every day to do damage… worry more about instant cavities or something, that is not how diabetes works. Or how it is spelled.

Actually… Eating unhealthy foods can cause people to develop bloodsugar issues, including diabetes. Over the course of years, of course.

Who eats 1 candy corn? This graph might be somewhat true for “handfuls of candy corn.”

Hubby and I agree: This chart is accurate. And diabetics who still eat sweets are NOT adding to the diabeetus. ’specially if eaten in moderation. I know from ‘xperience.

The last two “observations” have nothing to do with how delicious it is.

Have you tried the flavored ones at Target? Disgusting! Gorgeous, but disgusting. Cotton Candy, Carmel Apple, etc. AVOID these at all cost.

Very true. And yet, EVERYTIME I go to the candy store, for some reason, I have to get them…

Okay, those things get way too sweet at like 5 of them, sick at like 10, and I’ve got a pretty bad sweet tooth… If you can eat 20 before getting sick, you’ve got an insane sweet tooth.
