It’s that time of year…
.

.
The short window between Halloween and Thanksgiving when that sickeningly sweet, multi colored, triangular abomination is everywhere. My mother used to have jars of it scattered around the house when I was growing up. Why? I don’t know… nobody who lived there ate it.
.

.
Global distaste for the product is right up there with kale, and yet it persists.
.

.
In all my years I’ve only met a few people who truly enjoy the stuff. Take a bow Mark, I’m talking about you and your Spam addled taste buds.
.

.
Okay, I admit that last picture is kind of fun… but I’m still not eating it.
.
I think Satan’s Earwax is an apt description.

Okay I happen to like candy corn, as did my dad. And I’m proud to say that I would sooner eat candy corn than that gelatinous abomination called Spam. There’s a reason computer jargon calls random, unwanted emails SPAM and not Candy Corn……need I say more?

But it has no flavor. Might as well just pour sugar down your throat….

I used to love Candy Corn until I realized what it is made of. Why do they put Gelatin in everything?

I guess something has to hold all that sugar in place. I’ve never liked it, no matter the ingredients.

I am surprised that the folks at the local fair have not figured out a way to deep fry the damn things.

The taste is basically generic candy, like those hard candies our grandmothers used to keep in a dish… No flavor besides sweet…

At least those pretended to be fruit flavored. Candy corn can’t even do that…

No but it tricks kids into thinking it will taste like corn…

I have a jar full of candy corn within reach even as I type this. The Spam, sadly, is in the kitchen cupboard. Not quite in reach.
