I didn't know why it was called candy corn. Why are dum-dums called dum-dums? Why are Snickers called Snickers. Who knows? It's just one of those things you accept as fact.
Snickers was named after a horse -- learned that on TV
Dum Dums were named because they figured any child could say it -- also learned on TV
All of this. I lived across the road from a farm, and played flashlight tag in the corn nearly every summer. One becomes familiar with this hearty grain and its characteristics in the Midwest.
Did you know in those Autumn Mix bags of candy corn, the little round orange things are supposed to be pumpkins? They're not accurately sized though so their resemblance often goes unnoticed.

The pumpkins were my favorite until I discovered caramel macchiato (sp?) candy corn. Mmmmmm.
