HAPPY NATIONAL CANDY CORN DAY!!!

Yes, I'm fully aware of what type of board this is!! LOL!!!  However, since I LOVE this stuff, although no way do I love it like I did pre-op, I figured it was appropriate to celebrate it.  It's usually an all or nothing - you either love it or you hate it! 

HAVE A SWEET DAY!!! 

From Tia, your font of sometimes useless info!!!

• October 30th is National Candy Corn Day
• One serving of candy corn contains only about 140 calories
• Candy corn has 3.57 calories per kernel
• More than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That equates to nearly 9 billion pieces -- enough to circle the moon nearly four times if laid end-to-end.
• Halloween accounts for 75% of the annual candy corn production
• A cup of candy corn has fewer calories than a cup of raisins.
• Candy Corn was invented by George Renninger and produced by the Wunderlee Candy Company in the  1880's. In 1900, the Goelitz Candy Company, now  Jelly Belly Candy Company, started mass producing the candy, but, due to the lack of machinery, it was only made available seasonally from March to November. Its recipe has remained unchanged.
• Candy corn isn't just for Halloween there is also:
  • Reindeer corn for Christmas (red, green, and white)
  • Indian corn (it's chocolate and vanilla flavored)
  • Cupid corn for Valentine's Day (red, pink, and white)
  • Bunny corn for Easter (pastel-colored)
    

You are such a font of information!

Love ya!

Hugs, Mo

I have to agree with Mo you are a FONT of information!


Yuck on the candycorn!  But Gino loves it and was actually missing it this year and talking about it for the past few days!  lol

TRUST me, Cira, you want me on your team should we ever play in a trivia tournament!!!!

Tell him it doesn't taste as good as he remembers!!!

LY,

Tia

LOL I told Gino what you said.... he shook his head. lol

You probably should not have told me that candy corn has less calories than raisins.  Anyway, did you see the HERSHEY's kisses candy corn?  I saw them at the GIANT last night - but just sniffed at the bag - it didn't smell like chocolate that's for sure! 
PEACE
E

I only seem to like this stuff at this time of year!

Anyway, I have done my part. I bought some and set it out at the office today as I gear up for tomorrow. I won't touch it if it is in the office.

Hey Deb!!

Me, too!!!  It's liberating to not be a slave to some foods!!!

Hugs,

Oh, yeah, E, I saw THEM back in August!!!!!!  At the Gucci Pikesville Giant!!!  I did give in and buy a bag of the pumpkin spice kisses - I'm a pumpkin ***** - and they were terrible!!!!!  In the past, I would've eaten the entire bag anyway - this time, it was two and I got rid of the rest.  An NSV at it's best!!!!!!
