We all know about Candy Corn, wether its filling pumpkin shaped bowls at the office halloween shin-dig or sitting forgotten and rock hard in its original package from the 1980s in the back of grandma's cupboard, but is it really as harmless as the cheery autumn hue suggests? I'm here to debunk the myth that Candy Corn is the next big health scourge on todays youth.
Candy Corn was invented by George Renninger in 1880s Philadelphia under the original name of "Chicken Feed" along with a complete line of farm inspired candy products. As everyone knows, the 1880s was the golden age of candy production, both because of variety and added health benefits. Candy Corn is still produced in the same way as it originally was, making use of corn syrup as its main sweetener. Because of the prominence of REAL CORN in Candy Corn today, you can take advantage of the nutritional profile and high fibre, but in a tasty and easy to snack-on package!
Happy snacking!
