With all the varied choices in Halloween type candy this season, does candy corn still hold reign or is it a has been?

So the question is:

Question:
Is candy corn still relevant in today's world?

Choices:
Yep, can't beat a classic
No way, chocolate forever!
Why eat candy when you could have pie?
They rank just above those horrible peanut butter chews
Meat

Candy Corn has never been relevant outside of the U.S.A. So, as Today's World naturally includes the whole globular mass we are sat upon, a product that has never been relevant beyond the limited borders of one political entity cannot be by definition relevant to the whole, no matter the time period. Unless it's the future and Candy Corn has infiltrated the greater world.

Candy Corn is COMPLETELY still relevant. It's not Halloween without it.

I hate candy corn with a passion. There is no ranking low enough.

The key, though, to candy corn is knowing when to stop. There's a very very fine line between MMMMM!!!!!!! and *barf*.

Is there no candy corn in the UK?

And I think I'm allergic. When I eat it, it makes my throat very scratchy, but I don't care, I still eat it from time to time.

But I did vote for the pie option....

I don't think so, but it sounds odd... something made from corn which is also in the shape of vampire teeth and is scratchy...

Maybe the USAnians should mail out candy corn to the other folks so they can complete the survey.

I like candy corn (and the candy pumpkins that sometimes come with)! But only at this time of year.

Basically, vaguely sugary edible wax molded into something that looks like a child's rendering of a corn nib.

They're not vegan. I don't eat them for that reason.

I did not know you were vegan, theboy! I wouldn't eat them as I don't really like sweets anyway. Chocolate - yes, sweets - meh.

I voted pie. I never liked candy corn.
