Candy Corn Poll: Halloween Staple Or Disaster?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgTvgQfcllM

Candy corn is practically synonymous with Halloween. If the first sign of spring is a cardinal, candy corn definitely is a sign fall is here. You'd think this staple would be widely loved (why else would it be so popular) but people cannot agree. Who knew just how radically polarized people are about candy corn? Here's a list of hilarious, proud and disgusted consumers weighing in their thoughts about the Halloween treat.

"Candy Corn is the Devil's Earwax."

"Whoever said that [candy corn is the Devil's earwax] is a Halloween hatin' jerk."

"Candy corn is what you get when you add food coloring and sugar to a drop of glue."

"Candy corn is something you know exists and should be editable, but nobody you know has actually eaten it"

"Taste is subjective. That being said, candy corn is doodoo."

"Everybody loves candy corn. It is the best candy ever. There is no denying candy corn as number one."

"It’s good in Halloween season like normal corn, but I’m definitely sick of it as soon as November hits."

"I just did a taste test with foreign exchange students and one girl from the Netherlands heard horrible things, but loved it so much that she gave it a 10/10x."

Candy corn is ONLY good if eaten in layers. First the white part, then yellow, then orange.

"nah you got the layers backward you gotta save the white for last so you can pretend you lost a tooth."

"Sorry, don't eat candy corn because it's a veggie."

"ew." 

“Candy corn is wax that crunches in your mouth leaving a weird powdered sugar/wax flavor behind. Making you wonder if you even ate anything at all or if Satan himself simply just decided to grace your taste buds for no discernible reason.”

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
