TWICC: This Week In Candy Cornness: Installment 3 (of 5)
As we near National Candy Corn Day, October 30th, we are publishing a 5-part prodcast in response to a heartless comment made on Twitter by Elon James White, the host of a struggling podcast called TWIB (This Week in Blackness). White tweeted that Donald Trump was “the candy corn of people," and we felt the need to come to the defense of candy corn lovers. Enough is enough. We refuse to be treated like second class citizens just because we love candy corn.

WHO ARE SOME LOVERS OF CANDY CORN?
Most people who love candy corn struggle with the fact they are often harassed or ostracized by others. They are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudices that result from misconceptions about fans of candy corn. As a result, candy corners are often robbed of the opportunities that define a quality life: good jobs, safe housing, satisfactory health care, and affiliation with a diverse group of people.
Although research has gone far to understand the impact of the harassment they receive, it has only recently begun to explain the stigma attached to the love of the autumnal candy.
Fortunately, though, many celebrities have come forward to profess their love of candy corn, and it has helped set the stage for changing the public stigma attached to an affinity for the candy.
Below are some of the brave public figures who have publically acknowledged their passion for the tri-colored confection:

Below are some of the brave public figures who have publically acknowledged their passion for the tri-colored confection:
 | JIMMY KIMMEL "I can’t get enough of the stuff. It reminds me of my grandmother’s breath!" |  | PAULA DEEN "My favorite dish growing up was my mother’s tuna noodle candy corn casserole. " |
| THE OLSEN TWINS "When we were kids on 'Full House,' the production crew would feed us candy corns when we got our lines right, so we got hooked on candy corn at a very young age." |  | OPRAH WINFREY Did you know that candy corn is a featured item on the buffet at the Golden Corral? I love the buffet at the Golden Corral, and I LOVE the fact that they feature candy corn. I eat plates full! |  |
 | LIL WAYNE I grew up in New Orleans, and we lived in an apartment over a candy corn factory. The plant was ruined due to Hurricane Katrina, but to this day, I still love the smell and taste of candy corn. |
| SNOOKI I remember as a kid digging under the couch cushions looking for loose change, and I came across some old candy corns. They were the best thing I ever tasted, and I’ve loved candy corn ever since. |  |
 | MICHELLE OBAMA We couldn’t afford candy corn when I was young, so my father would always make homemade batches of the confection. To this day, I think of home whenever I eat candy corn. |  | MELANIA TRUMP We couldn’t afford candy corn when I was young, so my father would always make homemade batches of the confection. To this day, I think of home whenever I eat candy corn. |
 | JULIA LOUIS DREYFUS I grew up in Iowa. My father owned and operated a tilt-a-whirl, and we’d travel the county fair circuit. At the fairs, he’d always eat what I thought was something like fried pickles, but it turned out to be fried candy corn balls. He’d dip them in BBQ sauce, and I remember the first time I tasted one. I was hooked! |
| PAUL BLART My mother was addicted to candy corn, and I remember the day I found her stash hidden behind the heat pump in the basement. I ate so many I got sick, but I got over that jiffy quick. I’ve been chowing down the corn ever since. |  |
TWO CANDY CORN WORLD RECORDS
| The world's largest outdoor statue of a piece of candy corn is in Emmett Lee Dickinson Park in Silver Spring, Maryland.  | The world's largest bowl of candy corn is owned by Estelle Cragg of Hope, Arkansas.  |
WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY: AN UPDATE
Three weeks ago, Elon James White, the host of a struggling podcast called TWIB (This Week in Blackness) tweeted a callous statement to Donald Trump asserting that he was “the candy corn of people.”
On the very day of White's insensitive tweet, Candace “Candy” Koren, the Chief Global Implementation Identity Consultant and Regional Paradigm Analyst for the World Candy Corn Congress, in Baden-Baden, Germany, called the TWIB.FM headquarters and demanded to speak to Mr. White. She was placed on hold, and she has been on hold ever since.
Ms. Koren has refused to hang up the line, as she is completely determined to remain on hold until Mr. White picks up the phone. She has not been left the office for three weeks. She has not been home. She has not fed her cats Fronnie, Dunbar, Mozelle, Chairman Meow, and Mr. Meowgi. She missed her son's "Back-to-School NIght" for parents at the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys in Baden, Baden. She is100% committed to seeing this through and obtaining an apology from Elon James White (if that is his real name).
