Happy Halloween season, everyone! The air is crisp, pumpkins are lining doorsteps, and children are running wild through the candy aisle of your local CVS. There's a mini-candy for every tastebud, but one holiday staple remains as contentious as ever.
Welcome to the Great Candy Corn Debate of 2017, right on time:
It's hard to explain why, but candy corn brings out a lot of anger, confusion, and despair in the hearts of people who don't like it. And every year, they fight about it on Twitter.

Spooky.
