Ugh.

Candy corn rules! You can stick them on your teeth and have candy fangs.

Unctuous? That's putting it mild for something so oleaginous, so pinguid and vomitous. I cannot think of another thing so malodorous—nay—mephitic!

There is no word in the English language strong or eloquent enough for a substance so iniquitous and nefarious!

How dare you, sir, bring up such insufferable memories of my childhood!

I do say!

Eh, I haven't had it in so long, I think I could enjoy a big bowlful right now; I'll curse my decision not three hours later, when I'm doubled over under my bed, but at this moment, if someone tossed my some candy corn, I'd say, "Thank you, kind sir, may the saints bless you and your fellow kin!". Hmm... candy corn.

I hate those crappy things, too. They put a couple bowls of them out in our office by the receptionist's desk and I keep telling her to dump 'em in the trash and put out some good chocolate. But I do remember having a chuckle after putting them over my teeth.

The way they taste reminds me of mixing sugar with plaster plus a couple dabs of Elmer's Glue.

More for me.

It's certainly not my favorite, but I kinda feel like candy corn gets a bad rap.


...or maybe I just haven't had it in a long time.


I like the song, though.
