Even though it's not my favorite holiday, there are several reasons I look forward to Halloween, and one of them is candy corn. I can find only less-than-positive words to describe the waxy, cloyingly sweet, unnaturally butterscotch-y neon-covered morsels, yet once I get started, I can't stop eating them. How do you feel about the seasonal confection?

Unpleasant, pasty, granular. Not a fan. The best description is from Lewis Black. Totally NSFW. But hilarious:

I love the first few pieces and then I feel a little sick.
2My mom never let me have it when I was a kid so when I got to college I overdosed on Brachs...
3but yes, all of Yum's negative adjectives apply and once I start I too cannot stop! Doing my best to avoid it at all costs this Halloween!
LOVE. they say "Halloween" to me like conversations hearts say "Valentines Day"
4OMG! I LOVE candy corn. It is honestly a legal form of drugs for me or something. I am addicted to it. I justify my overconsumption with the fact that it is mostly available during Halloween, and I don't really seek it out during the rest of the year.
5Addictive despite the fact that they really aren't the best tasting things.
6Love it. Wish they made a low cal version!
7I love it! They make a gourmet brand now. I agree, shoneyjoe, Lewis Black was hilarious when he did the candy corn bit!
8Hey, I'm Gold now. Cool
9Love it! I like to stick them to my teeth so I have vampire fangs and then chase my kids around! I only eat it in October, and never eat so much to be sick, but Candy Corn rules!
10I'm not a massive fan of regular candy corn but I have to eat it near Halloween BUT Brach's now makes Caramel Apple Candy Corn and that stuff is truly addictive! I'm trying to forget that I have some in desk right now!
11Candy Corn is totally addictive and nothing good about it but can't stop eating it once I start. shellbelle, thanks, I think, for telling us about Caramel Apple Candy Corn, one more candy to fall for.
12Ew! I haven't touched the stuff since I was 10 or so. And I'm a sugar freak, so I figure they must be pretty bad. (I'm not even tempted to re-try it.)
13Loathe it! Candy Corn grosses me out completely.
14Complete love, especially the autumn mix with various colors. I buy one bag a year, no harm done.
15They should slap a surgeon generals warning on it for their addiciveness. I'm not a big fan of candy corn, but once I start eating it I can't stop. My fiancee tho, loves it. I think he'd eat himself sick if he could. . . which he very well might do. lol.
16I hear you, Mamacita. It's the same thing with me!
17LOVE. i totally ate an entire bag last friday.
18I hate it! My mom ate an entire bag when she was pregnant with me and got so sick. I think her aversion to it was passed on to me before I was even born!
19hate. my mom loves!
20Hate it! I would much rather have chocolate.
21Meh. Not a fan.
22Ugh, candy corn and its cousin, the neon gummy pumpkins are among the most inedible candy known to mankind. I can't stand those things...they rank up there with those orange and black wrapped peanut butter kisses.
23Love. Working my way through a bag now.
24love...except not the ones with chocolate bottoms.
25I'll eat them, but they're not my favorite candy.
26Call me weird but I like the granular taste (^_~)
27I hate candy corn.It just grosses me out.
