Candy Corn- yes or no?
if you're on team candy corn and you like a little salty with your sweet, try mixing those tasty triangles 50/50 with dry roasted peanuts. Eat it like trail mix. You can use standard or lightly salted, to your taste. You're gonna thank me for this.
...I'm pretty sure my wife would leave me if she found out I just posted that.

Lol. It's funny how decisive this can be.
I'm eh, don't love it don't hate it.
When I was a kid, I seem to remember that I liked it, and then at some point, it started to taste more and more waxy. Not sure if that's real or not, but not for me.
Is it weird that I like candy corn, but somehow feel like I wish I was in the anti candy corn camp?
The first one or two pieces are amazing. After that its gross.
They were amazing...when I was 6.
Hard pass now. Nasty stuff.
No, never, would not eat if stranded on deserted island

Yeah, it doesn't bother me, but I never seek it out.
Gross stuff. I agree with Lewis Black. Tastes like oil.
No. The wife does so our votes cancel out.
It's better than that hard black stuff that is wrapped in the patterned orange paper.
If it is there, sitting out in a candy bowl, and there is NOTHING else, I may grab about 5-10 and they bring a small dopamine rush. But more than that, and more than probably 15 kernels in a year, and they're pretty gross.
I'll gladly eat 10 pieces, and then am quickly reminded that I hate this crap.

Did when I was a kid, now I can't stand it.
My wife loves it and I'm "meh", however; as mentioned above if you mix it with salted peanuts for some reason I'm all over it. I don't like peanuts either.
Better than that is M&Ms in salted peanuts, nothing can hold me back...

I love sugar, but I can't do candy corn unless it's an emergency.
If I'm going to splurge on sugar, I don't want a random triangular block of just sugar. I'll go for the Snickers, Almond Joy, or Reeses PB cup. It's the same reason I don't usually eat cotton candy.
If I'm putting sugar in my body, I want it to taste like something other than just sugar. I don't hate candy corn, but I can pretty much get the same experience by just putting a teaspoon of sugar in my mouth.
