Everywhere I look

there are bags of candy corn on display. Yikes! My weakness. I haven't broken down yet and bought a bag....but...

terrible stuff...pure sugar...why does it have to taste so good?

The less you eat of it, the worse it tastes when you do eat it. Seriously.

I wish that were the case. I went all last year without eating one piece of candy corn. I bought a bag a week ago thinking it would prove that I didn't care for it anymore, and I ate the whole bag in ONE afternoon.
It was soooo good...

Hi Bike Writer, I feel you. I have a sweet tooth and once I eat sugar I crave it even more! I have to not "make eye contact" with it. If I don't see it I won't buy it. This means I have to look away often at this time of year. Good luck and stay strong.

"eye contact" that is too funny and it's kinda what I do too. That plus walk by it fast.

I also have the same tendency as TriGirl, once there is a bag around it disappears in no time. Something about them is addictive once you cave in, for me anyway.

That would be me in a nutshell, though I haven't bought one yet I imagine that before the season is over I will. Get the fix and be on with it till the next year I guess...

I used to have an addiction to candy corn(eat the whole bag and then be sick on the couch) and I gave in and bought a bag last week, but I bought the Publix(grocery store brand) candy corn.

I had 2 and was disgusted with how sweet it was and put it down. I tried this a few more times over the next 2 days- but each time was disgusted.

I ended up bringing them to work for my boss to give to his kids(but they are still on his desk and he is eating them!!)

I like candy corn, but what I REALLY like are the little candy corn pumpkins. Only Brach's, though. I haven't bought any yet but it's only a matter of time.

Absolutely true.
I'll go off candy for a while, and the next time I eat a piece it is sickeningly sweet.

I have found that same thing to be true- if I can avoid it for a while it does taste over sweet- almost a burning sensation in my mouth. But I do have a sweet tooth and have a hard time just avoiding it.

As to the candy corn- my last experience was that it tasted good... for about a handful, but then it was kind of disgusting but I kept eating it. Can you take a handful and give the rest away?
