BUT...ONLY STALE and kinda crunchy OR frozen!! :) haaa!! Ok....so I pulled back out the readers digest to discover that this comment was NOT part of a comedy section or joke section...or whatever. It was the little one liner at the end of a story!! Soo, I have since discovered that this Lewis Black dude is a COMEDIAN and reader's digest is known to put these comic bits at the end of their stories...every now and then! Soo....THAT explains it. THANKS FOR MAKING ME FEEL DUMB, reader's digest!!!! So, a wonderful blog follower took the time to research this and found the FULL JOKE from this Lewis DUDE for me! HERE IT IS: (PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY THE VERY FIRST LINE was in READER'S DIGEST...and this dude is a bit on the DARK and crude SIDE) "All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there’s a ton of it left over. And the candy corn company sends the guys out into the villages, to collect out of the dumpsters all the candy corn we’ve thrown away. They wash it! They wash it! I’ll never forget the first time my mother gave me candy corn. She said, ‘Here Lewis! This is corn that tastes like candy!’ (takes it, eats it) … ‘This tastes like crap!’ And every year since then, Halloween is returned and I, like an Alzheimer’s patient, find myself in a room, and the room has a table in it, and on the table, is a bowl of candy corn. And I look at it, as if I’ve never seen it before. ‘Candy corn,’ I think. ‘Corn that tastes like candy. I can’t wait.’ (takes it, takes a bite) ‘SON OF A B****’ - Lewis Black, Comedy Central Presents SOOO...there you have it, folks! YET AGAIN, the BLONDE has gotten the best of me!! ;) hehe!!!! Brenda….I forgot to mention PEEPS!! BUT…ONLY STALE and kinda crunchy OR frozen!! :) haaa!!

I would have to wonder about eating 100 yr. old candy, too. I'm so glad this turned out to be untrue because I love those little pun'kins too much. I do the same thing, I have a candy for each season that I really look forward to: Gobstopper hearts, Reese's eggs and marshmallow eggs and Starburst jelly beans, candy corn pumpkins and palmers chocolate, and then fudge. I know I'm forgetting some somewhere. Well, I was going to send you a link also, but I see you’ve been taken care of. I would have to wonder about eating 100 yr. old candy, too.
