It might be your least favourite candy, but I think you could find at least one candy corn tattoo in this list that you like… at least a little bit.
The sweet treat was originally called chicken feed – sounds so appetising, doesn’t it? Is this where the candy corn hate began? First produced in the 1880s, and despite being despised by many, candy corn remains a staple confectionary purchased in the Fall time.
More pieces of candy corn than the entire world’s population are produced yearly in the United States. Halloween will see approximately 20 million pounds of candy corn sold in the US and Canada.
Interestingly, candy corn was created a decade before the Ouija board. If your thoughts on candy corn have not changed, at least you can say you’ve learned something new today.
Candy corn is not only shaped like a corn kernel, but it is made from corn syrup which will see children and adults alike bouncing off the wall before their inevitable sugar crash.
Over the years, new flavours and colour combinations of candy corn have been introduced. During Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and the Fourth of July you can find differently coloured candy corn to suit the celebration. And, in more recent years, new flavour variants such as caramel apple, carrot cake, pumpkin spice and s’mores were made available.
Which is your favourite flavour of candy corn?
While October 31st is Halloween, don’t forget that October 30 has been designated as National Candy Corn Day.
