Candy
corn is “a
confection in the United States and Canada, popular primarily around Halloween.
Candy corn was created in the 1880s by George Renninger of the Philadelphia,
PA-based Wunderle Candy Company.” It can be identified by its three-tiered
colour scheme of yellow, orange and white.
Now, I’m sure many of you are
thinking, these candies are nasty, however, there is just something about them
that make you want to eat them over and over again. They nearly repulse me, but
every year I find myself with a handful or two of candy corn, and within five
pieces I am instantly regretting it! But, now I don’t have to wait until
Halloween to get my fill, because there are variations available, such as red,
green and white Reindeer Corn, red, pink and white Cupid Corn, or an assortment
of pastel colours that make up Bunny Corn.
Fun Candy Corn Fact: Based on the statistics
from the National Confectionaries Association, each year approximately 20
million pounds of candy corn are sold! Yikes!
