When eating candy corn...

Amjoy25 · October 2013

How do you eat them? The hub and I just had a rather intelligent conversation about this...yes, we are that bored.

I voted to pop the whole thing in your mouth...it's the only way you get the full experience that is candy corn

Start with the white layer and work my way down layer by layer.

i don't eat candy corn because they are GROSS!

Starting with the white part makes the most sense. Last time I ate it was at work and I was stealing it from a coworker... So it all went in at once. I didn't have time for all that shiz

Wrong.

I usually eat the whole thing! Sometimes I will eat the top part first!

Michellepiner · October 2013

I need candy corn now.

Also, I switch between popping and eating the white part first.

I'm curious @Amjoy25, who did what in your and DH's situation?

ETA: me no spell good.

I prefer Indian corn. (The chocolate flavor kind.)

We both eat the yellow part first! Normal over here.

It seems like it would take more effort to eat the top yellow part, since you'd have to hold onto the skinny little white end to do so. Strategically speaking....

This is not going as planned...white part first??

I'm the opposite. Normally I eat the white and work my way down, but since I've been pregnant, I'm all about eating the whole thing at once. I don't waste time anymore.

whole thing

I don't eat candy corn because I got sick on them as a kid and can't get past that memory.

The white part is my least favorite, so sometimes I'll eat that first so that I can save the really good stuff for last! There's a bag on my counter I'm really trying not to open yet but this thread is weakening my resolve.

I eat candy corn all at once, but I eat M&Ms like a freak. I separate them into their colors. Eat them so each color is even and then eat them from my least favorite color to my favorite color in a pattern. DH just shakes his head.

You win.

Someone may have already mentioned this because I haven't read all the thread, but do you know what is an AWESOME combination?!? Candy corn and salted dry roasted peanuts. Awesome sweet and salty combo.

Agree.

Candy corn in general is not vegetarian so I haven't had it in ages. But totes yellow first if I can get my hands on the veggie version.

TXswissmiss · October 2013

What about those little pumpkins that taste like candy corn??!! Those are the shiz!

I do this, too! Holy cow! I thought I was the only one with M&M OCD.

ETA: I don't eat them in a pattern like that, though. I even them up, then eat them in groups from least favorite to favorite.

ETA 2: Regarding candy corn, I eat them like I eat chocolate bunnies and santas--head first.

What is in it that makes it not vegetarian?
