5. A History of Candy Corn ...

A History of Candy Corn, the Most Polarizing Confection of Them All

The National Confectioners Association ... claims candy corn was invented in the 1880s by a Wunderlee Candy Company employee named George Renninger.
Wunderlee was reportedly the first to produce the candy, followed by the Goelitz Candy Company (now the Jelly Belly Candy Company), which has been producing the tri-colored candies since 1898.

Candy corn has been primarily associated with autumn because of corn’s link to the fall harvest, and it seemed to become a Halloween standard in the 1950s ...
candy corn was also nicknamed “chicken feed” in the 1920s and sold in a box with a rooster on the front ...

... there are candy corn-flavored bagels, Oreos, M&Ms, creamy panna cotta, arabica bean coffee, and vodka martinis made out of a pound of the stuff.
