This is the sort of thing that I’ll say “this sounds nasty” while I’m popping the second handful in my mouth.

Links not working, Rusty.
Here’s one I found (might be one of the ones you were aiming for): https://www.brachs.com/products/halloween/turkey-dinner-candy-corn.html

For a second I thought it was Candy Corn-Flavored Thanksgiving Dinner. Definitely better this way around.

Ah, Brach’s fighting tooth and nail for that sweet, sweet homeless dollar.
Strangely, it doesn’t include corn flavor. I guess you can mix in some of the originals.

Yeah, candy corn is already definitively ranked as the worst of all Halloween candies, so why not experiment? They’ve got nowhere to go but up.

Every year, a few weeks before Halloween, I bring an enormous jar of candy corn.
How enormous? ~5000 pieces enormous. 13-14 bags enormous.
The office is split
“Orange, you better not bring those in this year, I will hurt you.” vs “Orange, when’s the jar showing up so I can get my diabetes on?”
If it weren’t for pandemic killing the tradition, I’d fill the jar with these, just to troll everyone even harder

Our local teevee newscast did an on-air taste test. The word “vomit” was used more than once.
The general consensus was that the cranberry ones were edible, but that was it.

Wait a second, you are blowing my mind. Is candy corn supposed to taste like corn???

It tastes like corn syrup, which does have a corn flavor. I don’t know if it is “supposed to.”

In the future America, a plate of these will actually be Thanksgiving dinner if our love of subsidies to corn farmers keeps producing this disgusting corn syrup.
The cranberry sauce flavor definitely sounds like a step upwards.
Turkey, probably no.

I love candy corn. Not so sure about this variant…

I love Candy Corn, the doubtless soon-to-be-renamed Indian Corn, and Mellowcreme Pumpkins.
This stuff, Do Not Want. Just No.
