Exactly how can they even call it corn. Why does the corn industry not sue for defamation of character.
Do you realize that candy corn is one of a whole class of candy called "mellocreme"? It also includes the peculiar squatty-shaped orange pumpkins with fat green stems, Valentine hearts, and some odd Christmas shapes. I think they contain carnauba wax (seriously).
I only know this because one of my rowing coaches was obsessed with mellocreme candy, malted milk balls, and slightly stale marshmallow Peeps.
One of those things your rowing coach was obsessed with is not like the others.
In that it is a perfectly palatable candy (which I can no longer eat). The other two? Blech.4 -

Fruitcake? Well, if you are what you eat....
Salted licorice? Never heard of that. You take a nice cherry Red Vine, and somebody went "This needs sodium" WTF is that?
Like all things, Spam (in moderation) is okay. Cubed and mixed with scrambled eggs is better than ham, IMHO.
3 Musketeers? Only candy that gives me instant diarrhea.........just horrible2 -

Licorice in CHOCOLATE?
That's an abomination. I'm sitting here feeling truly offended on chocolate's behalf. What did it ever do to deserve such treatment?3 -

Because you need a means to shovel in cream cheese icing. And I love me some Swiss Cake Rolls.1 -

I'll just quietly cross Denmark off my list of places I'd like to visit. Thanks for the heads-up.9 -
I love European licorice - but I can see how it is an acquired taste. FWIW, it isn’t flavored with table salt, it’s Ammonium Chloride a/k/a Sal Ammoniac. It has its own unique flavor, and European licorices aren’t always even prominently flavored with anise extract, the flavor most Americans think of as “licorice flavor”. Licorice root per se, to my palate, is pretty flavorless, sweetish with just a little overtone of Earthy mustiness. More medicinal than culinary.
When I was a child, 1970s, licorice ice cream was available in the US, particularly around Halloween, and that was a personal favorite, too. I haven’t seen it in at least 30 years.

When I was 19 I started dating a girl who was Jewish. We would go eat at a kosher deli on the corner, and sometimes when we were out elsewhere she would ask for a kosher option. She had a really cute way of smiling and saying "I have Jewish taste buds". Cool. Anyway, we were at her house one day and she pulled out a jar of gefilte fish and a fork and went at it.
No. Nope nope nope no.
No.

it's called candy corn because it looks like kernels of corn.
I personally love it and circus peanuts.

@GottaBurnEmAll, have you not ever had or seen licorice bullets? (choc covered licorice) they're delicious!0 -
I loathe licorice. The only thing remotely licorice flavored I can handle are anise flavored pizelles, and I haven't had them in years since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. And I think I used to like them more for the nostalgia factor than the actual taste. My grandmother made really good pizelles.2

Wax candy bottles. And Thrills gum. Oh and rum-raisin ice cream. (I'm not normally big on rum, though I do like it with cinnamon in a sauce for cooked fruit. The raisins just make it worse, though.)
