Despite the haters, there are so many people who actually love candy corn.
So many, in fact, that there is a whole day dedicated to indulging in the tri-colored sugary delicacies. People love to hate on candy corn when Halloween rolls around every year, but it is the number one candy sold around this time followed by Reese’s, Snickers, Kit-Kats and M&M’s. Americans alone purchase approximately 20 million pounds of candy corn each year and it’s the most highly-searched candy on Google.
Today was chosen as National Candy Corn Day because it’s estimated that the highest candy corn sales happen on October 30. The popular Halloween treat was actually once called “chicken feed” because of its visual resemblance to corn and it’s actually sold year-round for various holidays aside from Halloween. There’s cupid’s corn for Valentine’s Day, Indian corn for Thanksgiving, bunny corn for Easter, freedom corn for the Fourth of July and reindeer corn for Christmas.
You can celebrate today by reading some tweets from the ongoing debate and eating some candy corn.
This man is so, so naive.
Despite our political differences in America I'm thankful we can all agree that candy corn is awful

Some people have very strong opinions about those who enjoy these sugary treats.
I'm still appalled by you heathens who like candy corn. Get some damn self-respect.

Candy Corn is that creepy guy who graduated 7 years ago but still shows up to the parties.

Alexander William was honest.
I'm kind of alright with candy corn.

But the fans will defend the candy ’till death do they part.
Candy corn is good. Fuck y’all. Bye.

Goodmorning to everyone except those who eat candy corn

And this person just needs to bring another controversial candy into the mix.
