Blind Taste Test Finds Most People Can't Tell Difference Between Candy Corn And Orange Crayon We Found In A Junk Drawer

U.S. — A fascinating new study has revealed that the vast majority of people, when presented with a blind taste test, can't tell the difference between candy corn and a dusty, old orange crayon we found in a junk drawer.

According to researchers, people who were fed candy corn and people who were fed the old orange crayon that had been stowed away in a drawer for the last 17 years had the same reaction: "This tastes like a waxy blob of nothing, and my life is much worse for having placed this repulsive object in my mouth."

"We had theorized that at least 20% of those surveyed would be able to detect some kind of flavor in the candy corn," said head of research Dr. Gorbo Linfield. "So we were shocked to find that over 95% of people had the same instant negative reaction to eating candy corn that they did to chewing on the old, dusty crayon."

"The science is settled: candy corn is just as tasty as a crayon forgotten in a cabinet for decades." Further research showed that over 90% of people couldn't tell the difference between marshmallow Peeps and a piece of cotton pulled from an ibuprofen bottle, Spangler Circus Peanuts and an eraser from one of those giant novelty pencils, or Dots and stale gum that has been stuck on the underside of a table at Flo's #2 Family Restaurant in Chino, California for the last 9 years.

At publishing time, sources had confirmed that the remaining 5% of people actually thought the orange crayon tasted better than the candy corn.

You need curry dipping sauce.

You know what I'm thinking @Richard Cranium. You don't have to say it.

C’mon (Tool) man!

Agreed with toolman...
Searched in the grandkids stash of crayons.
Found an orange one. (Granted it's not 17
years old).
Had some candy corn in a mixed bag of
sweets.
No blindfold, but I did close my eyes
(honestly). I took meticulous care to carve
the orange wax of the crayon to pretty much
the same size and shape of the candy corn,
and commenced with the test.
I can honestly tell you that there is a
difference. The candy corn melted,
whereas, the crayon did not.

Y'all realize the above is B.S. just as
the OP's post....
It does give an idea, though. Orange crayons
for the trick-or-treaters. I'd better start
carving.

I disagree with the test results also. In my opinion the orange crayon would taste much better, infact any color crayon would be better than candy corn. Actually, the carboard box the crayons come in would be more appealing to most.

After eating a few of each, I'm telling you the crayons, if dipped in chocolate taste better...........

Take a few candy corn molecules and mix them with dry-roasted peanuts! You get waxy-tasting peanuts!

I wonder what else she's tasted "blind-folded"????
