Americans all over the country celebrated the news that the national nightmare that had lasted for generations was finally over, as the United States Supreme Court outlawed candy corn.
In a landmark 8-1 ruling, the nation's highest court almost unanimously declared the manufacture, sale, possession, purchase, and consumption of the substance known as "candy corn" to be illegal and unconstitutional.
"No nation can, in good faith, allow this horror to continue," said Justice Clarence Thomas, who penned the majority opinion. "The United States was founded upon a certain standard of principles to promote common decency and adherence to the most basic sense of human morality. Candy corn clearly violates these principles on a fundamental level. It is neither ‘candy' nor ‘corn,' and therefore must be abolished with extreme prejudice."

HALLELUJAH!!!
We hated that crap as a kid but we ate it because it was candy.
We used to take two of them and stick them in our mouth and make vampire teeth with them.
I like candy corn. Alright, call me depraved and uncivilized, but it has always been one of my favorites. It’s just that not enough stores sell them except on Halloween.
Good riddance.
Cotton Candy should be next.
We are watching you.
I’m with ya — I also like it. They’re still making it, so I guess enough like it to keep producing it.
It’s one of my favorite candies. I also like the little ‘pumpkins’ and other shapes made from the same recipe.
(Farley’s was the absolute best; we always got it at Murphy’s; but I don’t see it anywhere around here anymore.)
Yes, the large pumpkin ones and so forth. I think a lot of people don’t like them just because of the corn appearance. But like all other candy, it’s mostly plain old sugar.
I can take it or leave it, but it has a nice buttery flavor.
Thinking of Holiday foods:
Can anyone still find a mincemeat pie in their local grocery store at holiday time?
It’s been my favorite since childhood for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it’s been several years since the stores here have had one. They don’t even have the jars of mince filling they always used to carry so one could make a mince pie at home.
Yesterday (Thursday Oct 30) was National Candy Corn Day. I went to half a dozen stores, couldn’t find any to save my life. Next year I’m just going to order it from Amazon a week in advance. https://nationaltoday.com/national-candy-corn-day/
Geez. Such hatred.
I like the kind with the little “chocolate-like” layer.
Talamasca?
Candy corn mixes well in a trail mix like Walmart’s Cajun Mix. Sounds crazy, but that red pepper kicks it up a notch.
I like it…
Mrs. Smith's Classic Mince Pie (frozen) is still around.
If you must you can try Amazon.
Love candy corn, just can’t eat it.
Thanks.
All my life we could get Crosse and Blackwell filling here; and their plum puddings, too.
But then the best grocery chain, which was headquartered locally and catered to all the different interests in the community, was sold off to a big European conglomerate, and nothing was the same anymore.
I’ll try Walmart.
