I am really in the mood for candy corn. Good thing Halloween is coming! OMG look at teh crazyness I just found:

Now friends, man is capable of making candy corn, artificial flowers and other things that appear to be real, but they have no life. Candy corn will not grow; neither will artificial flowers. Only the Creator can give life.

Wow...So is eating candy corn a sin? WWJD and stuff...
