this person can have all the candy corn they wish. Me no likey candy corn. HERE! TAKE IT!
yes send them all, get them all out of here…. those things rot.
no no. YOU send them. I’m not touchin ’em! ewwwww! *running away*
un uh. they are not even worthy of postage. *running away with you*
*running towards the candy corn* I like candy corn, so I’m tempted to keep any that I have [or encourage you to bring yours to ME”>, but I cannot resist this call to action and will be sending a box full of candy corn pumpkins to Big Al!
i like candy corn too, even tho i usually don’t eat it because i dont’ think it’s vegetarian. how DO they make that stuff? i’m a purist. i like the candy corn by itself. don’t add stuff, like the pumpkins.
candy corn corn yummy. eat too many candy corn corn and yummy tummy gets sad.
also, those things tend to get stale fast. if you send them, better make sure they’re tightly wrapped.
oh tom, i am so disappointed. i thought you were a food champion. friend to tastebuds everywhere. candy corn is so…. i can’t think of the proper adjective…. oh how bout repugnant.
I am a food champion, thank you for thinking as much, but one can’t completely discount one’s childhood, the era in which I developed my love of candy corn. I confess, I haven’t had a single candy corn so far this year. I am more likely to spend my time, money and energy eating some really good Sharffen Berger chocolate [the darker, the better”>, but if someone offered me a little celophane package with a few pieces of candy corn, I doubt I would refuse it. As far as being vegetarian, candy corn is pure corn syrup, plain and simple, with a little flavoring and [obviously”> some coloring … The shiny coating may well contain gelatin and we know most gelatin isn’t vegetarian. When I send the candy corn pumpkins, I’ll simply go to Walgreen’s and pick up a fresh package and drop it into a small box and off it goes 🙂
