But that's admitting that at some point of desperation we would actually consider eating them!

A candy, bite-sized, that was made of the same stuff as the corn but was pumpkins back in the 60s.

Other than their composition and color is that if you choose to eat them, if you have any dental maladies, they will point them out loud and clear.

If I have a bag of peanuts I put some peanuts in my mouth and some candy corn. The mixture tastes good.

The same goes for chocolate covered cherries. My cravings say “go for it” but then reality sets in, and I pass. Damn!

Too sweet to eat many, but I like the flavor. Used to love the little pumpkins, too.
