Halloween is right around the corner, and that can signal a couple of things. It means “Hocus Pocus” will be on the television no fewer than 100 times in October and, in a normal year, it means kids are preparing to stockpile candy like squirrels storing nuts over the winter.

I recently came across one of those massive waste of time articles that tells you what candy you are based on your zodiac sign. There were lots of great options. Sour Patch Kids, Kit Kats, Snickers and Skittles, for example. But you know which candy told me I was as a Capricorn? Candy corn.

The explanation is that Capricorn is traditional, and what is more traditional for Halloween than candy corn? I can’t begin to highlight my disappointment.

I realize candy corn is one of the most divisive October treats, and count me among the haters. I’m not alone, however. Last year, a poll of 30,000 consumers on CandyStore.com rated candy corn as the worst Halloween candy of 2019. And guess what? It took the title again this year. People actually like circus peanuts and wax Coke bottles more than candy corn.

Comedian Lewis Black probably said it best when he described the taste of candy corn as, “like something that was made out of oil,” which, if melted down, “could run a car.”

Invented in 1880, candy corn initially went by the name chicken feed. That should tell you something right there. Yet, 35 million pounds of it are produced each year in the United States. That begs the question, who is eating it?

Not chef Gordon Ramsey, who once labeled it as “ear wax formed in the shape of a rotten tooth.”

So yes, I’m very jealous of the Sagittarius and their “Pop Rocks,” or the Aries and their “Warheads.” Heck I’m even jealous of the Pisces and their “Dum Dums” (what is more exciting than the moment before you hit that mystery flavor).

Needless to say, I’ll be voting (multiple times if allowed) in 2021 to give the candy corn the three-peat as worst Halloween candy.
