Few treats are as divisive as candy corn. The colorful pyramid-shaped candy tends to evoke very strong reactions every Halloween season ― and it all plays out on Twitter.
While many people loathe the “waxy” candy and compare it to melted traffic cones, others can’t get enough of the yellow, orange and white goodness. Still others simply love to joke about the annual candy corn hullabaloo.
Wherever you stand on the subject, we hope you’ll enjoy these 40 funny and relatable tweets about candy corn.
Bad news guys, candy corn doesn't count as a vegetable because technically corn is a grain.

Fun fact: they stopped making candy corn in 1961. They just made a lot so they’re still selling that same batch. That’s the only explanation for why they all taste 60 years old.

If you dig a small hole about 8" around and 5" deep, put in a handful of candy corn, lay a damp paper towel across the top, and cover it back up with soil, in 2-3 weeks you'll still be glad that you didn't eat it.
