**The Halloween staple nobody seems to like, candy corn has its roots in rural America.

Fun facts, a company called Wunderlee Candy invented it in the 1880s, but it was Goelitz Confectionery, now the Jelly Belly Company, that mass produced it in the 20th century.

And, it’s actually made out of CORN syrup. Back in the day, corn syrup and sugar were cooked down and then poured into molds shaped like corn kernels. Today, corn syrup is still a main ingredient.
