Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 02, 2021

Who does like candy corn (and its equivalent candy pumpkin which seems to be made from the same recipe)?

Petey, you are….priceless! And weird.

As long as it has chocolate and no nuts, raisins or coconut, I’ll eat it.

That little triangle of compressed sugar is the George Costanza of candy.

For some reason those Foamy, Marshmallowy peanut shaped things have a better reputation than candy corn. Those things are the worse.

“Small, waxy, and practically tasteless.” Why, that’s how critics described my stand-up act

Did the american indians have “candy maize” ?

Well, Petey, we coulda told ya that from the beginning!

I would literally rather eat corn

Candy Corn does not look like corn.

I want a Lollipop.

Aw go ahead and play “see if Alice likes it.”

See, I’ve always liked candy corn…

The bane of my Halloween cache was always the little boxes of SunMaid raisins…who gives those to a child?!

It can’t be candy corn – it has three differentcolors right next to each other! Agggh!!

Uh , Candy Corn tastes like compacted sugar.

“Practically” tasteless? Well, I guess it does smack faintly of cornstarch, which counts as tasteless even if you taste it.

Wierd.

Petey, I concur about the presence of raisins, but you can keep your candy corn. If you lived in my neighborhood, I would head straight to your house the day after for “tradesies.”

You are one smart trick or pumpkin candy eater. Corn or pumpkins are good for a while then hit the re cycle bin.

I am happy to see Petey (My Hero) taking his Picky Eaters duties seriously!

Buzz off, Alice. Leave this to the pros!
