It’s National Candy Corn Day!

(CNN) — It’s sweet, chewy, and sticks to your teeth.

Candy corn has been around the 1800s, and Tuesday is the day to celebrate it. That’s right — October 30 is National Candy Corn Day.

Now, you have an excuse to enjoy the traffic cone looking candies before handing them out to eager trick-or-treaters.

If you’ve ever wondered where candy corn get its name, it’s not because it’s supposed to taste like corn or even because it’s made using corn syrup.

It’s because the yellow, orange and white colors were used to represent the colors of corn kernels.

The rather simple confection is made with little more than sugar, water, marshmallows, and wax.

It’s also one of the most divisive candies out there.

There aren’t many people who could take or leave candy corn — most people seem to love it or hate it.
