I love this deep dive into candy corn’s history and feel deep satisfaction and validation for my absolute disdain for it.

I really like candy corn, but I think I'll take a break with it for a bit after learning the bit about the bugs- though it fascinates me!!

Also I loved the discovery of finding out you are not a fan of candy corn yourself, after speculating along the way.

I really love the well researched article. This is all absolutely fascinating. I used to love candy corn, but ever since I became more health conscious, I prefer not to eat processed foods. I didn't know about the bugs used in the production though. I actually thought they were made with bees wax which I had considered as an okay bug ingredient. This post is pretty creepy! I love it

I forgot to mention that I really found the old chicken feed add to be awesome. Definitely added to it. I'm happy I found you. October is my favorite time of year.
