10/9 - 10/14:Are you a Candy Corn fan?

******* It’s the last week of our squat cycle!!!! You’ve been putting in all the hard work now it’s time to see it pay off with a new 1RM. Don’t miss Tuesday’s class to find out!! ******

October brings about a special season…the Spooky Season. Whether or not you are a Halloween fan (we’ve been doing some polling and most people in fact are) one of the most divisive but beloved Question of the Day of all time is: Are you a Candy Corn fan?

Not having being born in the US I couldn’t really understand what all the fuss was about. Then I set about doing some research which involved actually tasting it for the first time, and I’m not going to lie I didn’t hate it. It’s definitely intriguing as it doesn’t taste of corn, could I tell the layers apart? no, was the texture funny? yes, was it too sweet? yes, but by tasting it I couldn’t really understand still why it causes such a rift. I did also tasted a chocolate variation which I liked, but only because the chocolate flavour came out.

9 billion pieces are produced annually so folks out there are eating it. It’s a staple at this time of year and a popular costume too so prepare yourself accordingly for being surrounded by it.

We look forward to hearing your answer to this controversial question this month, maybe you might even be able to change hearts and minds with a passionate answer.
