There are two kinds of Halloween monsters: The fake kind of monster that is just a person wearing a spooky costume, dancing to Elvira, sipping on cocktails called like “Mr. Hyde’s Potion” or “Witches Brew” or something, and the real kind of monster that hands out candy corn to trick-or-treaters. Candy corn tastes like the middle of a venn diagram where one side is ear wax and the other side is butt. Candy corn is the troll bogey-flavored Bean in a box of Bertie Bott’s. Candy corn is to candy what the space between toes is to the human body. Yet, despite its awfulness, candy corn remains one of the best-selling Halloween “treats” year after year. This madness has to stop! We must be part of the solution!
