RIP- but in all honesty this guy belongs with the inventor of candy corn for all eternity too. Perfect pair.

Candy Corn, Peeps, and Black Licorice all get bad raps

Black licorice is amazing but it’s great that everyone else leaves it alone so I can have it all.

Disagree. In fact, the texture of the marshmallows in peeps is way better (softer and tastier) than in a lot of candies that use it.

You're right about the marshmallow texture. I think what I always disliked was the grainy sand texture of the sugar coating.

I don't know how long it's been since you've had one, but for decades the sugar coating had a sharp acrid taste (I am sure it was the coloring) and that is no longer the case. That taste, along with the grit, made them inedible to me but now I love them.

I’ve always enjoyed the yellow ones. Some of the other colors like pink always tasted off to me. A bit bitter.

They’re both not tasty but must be cheap to make. Throughout my life I’ve seen them used as decoration more than I’ve seen them eaten.

But candy corn sucks, whereas Peeps are delicious.

I upvoted you from a negative karma score, because you are brave enough to speak the Lord’s truth.

EDIT: Whoever downvoted me, I hope all of your candy corn is crumbly and flavorless.
