Has candy corn changed or have I changed? I used to love

[hedgehog]

candy corn and the special mix with the banana and maple flavored shapes. Now it is just too awful.

1. Tastes change as one ages.

Hence why little kids tend to like different things than adults. :P

[mitchum]

2. Yes, it has changed...I can no longer even find the harvest mix with the maple...

banana, and chocolate corn ,hay bales, witches, cats, etc...
Now, it's all just candy corn and pumpkins

3. I'm not sure I'll ever look at it the same way...

5. You don't like sugared wax?

What's wrong with you?

6. you're an old fuck

[MattSh]

7. Yeah, even stuff I like...

doesn't sit too well with me anymore.

I think I have a lifetime sugar quotient that I passed about 10 years ago.

8. Maybe it's the dreaded corn syrup?

The taste of many things changed when they went from being made with sugar to corn syrup.

9. I think candy corn used to be made with large amounts of honey, as well.

11. I think you may be right.

I used to like the candy corn myself. It's just way too sweet, almost sickly so.

[ThePowerofWill]

12. Oops, the dreaded double.

[Flaxbee]

10. really, really degraded ingredients --

a lot less sugar/honey, a LOT more corn syrup. And those shapes used to be fun - the witches, pumpkins, etc. Now they've cut those out, too.

13. Hmmm...I used to like it too...
