A majority of this forum probably thinks I take everything too seriously, and I wouldn't want to disappoint, so here goes ... Ingredients of Brach's candy corn:Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Honey, Soy Protein, Gelatin, Confectioner's Glaze, Dextrose, Artificial Flavor, Titanium Dioxide Color, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, Blue 1. (Can you say "carcinogenicity"?)Nutritional analysis: 140 calories from 22 pieces--all carb, all the time (36 carbohydrate grams, 28 as sugars... no fat, no protein). Source: www.brachs.com/products/product.asp?base_code=070#Do I need to tell you which side of your question I come down on? But what the hell... enjoy (Jelly Belly's version)

I used to love them but not to much any more. I guess it was overkill.

I thought everyone loved candy corn!?
It's a "Yay" for me. They are highly addictive along with their cousin the orange pumpkins.

Eat one or two each year and then I remember they are repulsive crap.

Captain Phil, cutienj, Cindy... Thank you for understanding and appreciating the true spirit of Halloween. The rest of you... are not worthy of a visit from the Great Pumpkin this year... ;D

Candy corn - YAY
The maple-flavored cider barrels in the Halloween mix with the pumpkins......an even bigger YAY.
