Eat This Now: Candy Corns

I know that Runner's World likes to make "practical" Eat This Now suggestions, but as I nearly consider funfetti to be it's own food group... well... corn IS a vegetable! So, last week I skipped out of the grocery store because CANDY CORN is now ON SALE! However, after talking to others, I realized that only about half shared my excitement. Apparently people either love or hate candy corn, there is no orange area (just white or yellow). So, for all of you "non-believers", here is a list of reasons why candy corn is AWESOME:

1. It can help you get through a long run (straight sugar will do that... just make sure they don't make you sick)
2. It has a long shelf life and doesn't melt (while candy corn has previously received a bad reputation as a result of its "lack of expiration date"... well, one of the comments in the linked post pointed to a "Halloween Candy Buy Back Program" for supporting our troops overseas)
   
3. It improves math skills (which you totally need so you don't mis-calculate your pace 3 miles into a half marathon)
4. It will solve the nation's obesity problem (this is NOT even close to true... it amazes me what you can find online... candy corn is healthy?!?)

Ok... I really can't come up with more than four reasons... but it is the #1 Halloween Candy!!! #20
