Is Candy Corn Made of Honey

話題沸騰中の Is Candy Corn Made of Honeyについて、多角的な視点を分かりやすく掲載しています。

So, to answer the question directly: No, candy corn is not made of honey. It is made of sugar, corn syrup, and the tears of people who hate that it’s being passed off as “autumn candy.” If you find a piece that does taste faintly of honey, that’s just a marketing gimmick they put on the bag to make you feel better about eating it for breakfast.

Personally, I think that’s okay. Candy corn doesn’t need to be healthy or natural. It needs to be exactly what it is: a polarizing, waxy, sugar-bomb that tastes like the smell of a new crayon box. That’s its charm. Honey is for tea and biscuits. Candy corn is for arguing with your cousin about whether it’s “good” or “yucky.”

Next time you grab a handful, just take a moment. Smell it. It smells like nothing, honestly. Then taste it. It tastes like sugar and food coloring and a little bit of nostalgic deception. And that’s fine. Just don’t call it honey in front of Steve. He’s still recovering.
