I hate those as much as those ugly orange circus peanuts. I could refer to trump as a circus peanut. He's orange. He's gross. And I hate him.

Now that I'm considerably older, I am more selective in my choice of treats. For instance, if I rummage through a trick-or treat bag, candy corn & other plain sugar candies don't even make the cut.

And they look horrible. But what do I know? I'm not big on candy at all, except for the occasional bite of dark chocolate.

For decoration (put in vases). They will get chucked before the Xmas stuff goes up. Not one will be eaten.
The only worthwhile candy is chocolate.

Somebody picks on candy corn. Candy corn is the best food ever made. It's the basis of a good, solid, healthy American diet. I always serve it with meat loaf. My grandmother made it, my mother made it and now I make it. Don't screw with tradition.

not for me but my wife and daughter love them and then this year they found some made by Jelly Belly (which are the best jelly beans including the Harry Potter ones that taste like feet) and and they went nutso for them and I wanted to try one but they ate them all like little piggies.

So I dunno about the Jelly Belly ones but all the others are vomity.
