Never ever go near a durian-based dessert. We tried it recently in Singapore (blue ginger restaurant) and I have got to say my eyes watered from the smell and we thought we were suddenly in a sewer. The taste/smell of the half-spoon we tried stayed with us for the next 2 days no matter how many chewing-gums we went through our breath still gave out the odor of diarrhea puke. I still think they played a practical joke on us. Bringing back the memory is not pleasant either; have to go brush my teeth now. Definitely an acquired taste!http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2004/10/29/249894.aspx#249986Sat, 30 Oct 2004 13:55:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:249986MattYou should now how to spell gesture.http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2004/10/29/249894.aspx#250044Sat, 30 Oct 2004 17:47:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:250044Scott C ReynoldsOMG!!!111 No way.

It stands to reason that if their taste in candy is so bad as to dismiss candy corn, then it can be relied upon to find the most delicious brand to be the most distasteful.

At a place I worked in the early eighties, someone brought in candy corn and mixed it w/peanuts and everyone (but me) seemed to love the combination. I liked peanuts and the candy but each separately.

It is a hard, triangular gelatinous mass that is not sweet, sour or hot. All candy must fit one of those three criteria. These are the rules. Thus, candy corn is not candy. Nor is it corn. I don't even know what it is, really. I mean, look at it... <br> <br>They look like rotten teeth from one of the Young Ones co-stars.

And I know my candy. I actually had a piece of my tooth fall out 5 years ago eating a Hot Tamale, so beat that. And the worst candy ever is Baby Ruth bars. They are the only thing I ever gave my Mom to eat out of my trick-or-treat booty. I even ate those black and orange nasty peanut butter kisses, albeit only at the very end of my candy bag.</p> <p> ANYWAY, I Googled Sathers candy corn cuz last month (Sept. 2008) the company changed it's recipe and now has crappy candy corn like all the other brands. I am so sad. I easily eat 500 to 1,000 calories of the stuff every day (no exaggeration). I keep one of the 2 for $1 bags in my purse at all times. And it's MOST tasty after sitting in a hot car - it's all soft and SCRUM-DIDDLY-UMPTIOUS. And I think it actually INCREASES my metabolism. I'm 105 pounds after having 2 kids, and candy corn keeps me at that level.... Sathers should market their candy corn as a weight loss method - they're missing out on at least $1billion dollars in sales to dieters.... Could sponsor &quot;The Biggest Loser&quot;. Since I can't eat my Sathers candy corn anymore, I wonder if I'll gain weight... My teeth will definitely be in better shape, though.</p>http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2004/10/29/249894.aspx#9389154Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:42:49 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9389154andy<P>candy corn ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</P> <P>Rick SUCKS!</P>http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2004/10/29/249894.aspx#9910688Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:09:49 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9910688Micaela<p>I am eating candy corn as I write this and am enjoying it emmensely!
