Hmm, well, I bite off the white tip, but then I make my way straight down through the orange middle, and then onto the yellow base. I guess that means that there are two ways to eat candy corn properly, since the universe hasn't imploded, yet. But, I only eat it in October.

The universe has only stayed safe from your reckless actions because I eat enough candy corn in the correct manner to negate your ruthless attempt to kill us all!

Everyone knows that primary colors have to take precedence over secondary colors! It's the Law of the Color Wheel! And white takes precedence over every color, because it contains them all.

Please, I beg you to reconsider your Evil Eating Habits. Don't endanger us all by your selfish actions!

Oh, dear! I have been reckless, haven't I? Good heavens, I shall do everything in my power to change my evil, selfish ways, but old habits are hard to get rid of. You'd better continue to eat plenty of candy corn in the correct manner, (perhaps even some extra), to offset my own bad habits! It may be too late in life for me to make such a drastic change! But, there are a few days left before October rolls around, so maybe, just maybe, I can learn to eat my candy corn properly.

You can thank me after Halloween for keeping the galaxy safe from harm.
OMYGOSH!!!! I'm not alone. I might not do the ENTIRE bag at once but I will do a handfull at a time. And if I have the Harvest Mix w/ the Indian Corn I eat the chocolate ends as the last treat. When I run out of Candy Corn or Indian Corn and all that is left are those pumpkins - I bite off itty bitty bites and suck on them. Talk about a sugar rush if you eat one whole.

Okay, back to the computer................I had to break to go grab a few. I've learned NOT to keep the entire bag by the computer

What about the mutilated ones - just pulled one out and all it had was a white tip and then the chocolate. I'm now starring at 2 yellow ends and 4 chocolates. GONE!

Yes, I am relieved I am not the only one who is "in" on the correct ritual. My family thought I was OCD for my little idiosyncrasies, but I swear I don't wash my hands 150 times a day. Or pluck off all my body hairs, or something weird. We're not weird SuSuSushi, are we??

NO! We are perfectly NORMAL! We are solidified into our world and we know where we stand. UNITED and helping to do our part for the betterment of mankind. One candy corn at a time.

LAST WEEK! Are you in serious withdrawals? Have you checked into a clinic? If not then go forth and buy another bag quick before it is too late.

The only candy I eat ritualistically are M&Ms.
Gotta sort them by color. Then I eat such that each color group has the same number of candies remaining lol. With peanut M&Ms, I sort by color and size. They get eaten by color groups too, but larger ones get picked off before smaller ones. And I swear I'm not OCD either

Candy corns I'm not really into. Indian corns are slightly preferable, but still not something I seek out or ever crave. But when I do eat them, you betcha I eat from tip to base, one color at a time.
