A Rebuttal To The Rebuttal: The Great Candy Corn Debate

Candy corn is the first candy I look for in my trick-or-treat bag. Yes, every Halloween I still go out to collect candy from strangers (which is exactly what parents tell us not to do when we are young children—but that contradictory parenting style is for another time). I dress up in lame costumes like wearing a sheet to be a ghost or wearing a baseball cap to be a guy on the street wearing a baseball cap, all to achieve the goal of gathering as much candy corn as humanly possible in one day. Christina Rau’s blog post, “Candy Corn: Not A Gift From The Sugar Goddesses” indicates how she believes that candy corn is not great. She is totally wrong. She needs to eat more candy corn until she realizes how wonderful a candy it is.

First off, candy corn is simply part of Halloween.  Christina Rau says that in her conclusion, but she doesn't realize that THAT's the whole thing about candy corn.  It simply goes.

Just because candy corn is candy doesn't mean the taste is the most important thing about it.  Christina Rau seems to think it is when she says "taste is most important" but she is so totally off-base.  Plus, I dare to declare: MAGIC TASTES LIKE CANDY CORN and CANDY CORN TASTES LIKE MAGIC.  What do they both taste like?  Each other.  Does that make sense?  Not really, but that does not matter.  The only thing that matters is that candy corn is just good candy.

Don't wait for Halloween.  Go out and get some now.  If you can't find any, write to your local candy corn manufacturer and make them crank it out pronto.
