Candy corn is a popular candy that is often associated with Halloween. It is a type of candy that is shaped like a kernel of corn, with a pointed top and a round base. The candy is typically made of a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and artificial colors and flavors. Candy corn is known for its distinctive color scheme, with the candy being divided into three sections: a yellow base, an orange middle, and a white tip. This color combination is said to resemble the colors of harvested corn, which is likely why the candy is called candy corn. Despite its popularity, candy corn is a divisive treat, with some people loving it and others finding it unappetizing.

Orlando Magic's rally falls short in loss to Jazz
SALT LAKE CITY — Lauri Markkanen scored 28 points and blocked Franz Wagner’s 3-pointer in the closing moments to power the Utah Jazz past the Orlando Magic, 112-108 on Friday night.
Jordan Clarkson, who had 23 points, scored the go-ahead layup, and rookie Walker Kessler made two free throws after rebounding Collin Sexton’s second of two missed free throws with 11.8 seconds to play.
I said a little quiet prayer to myself and it happened. I was relieved,” said Kessler, who shoots 55.7 percent from the line, of his late free throws.
Clarkson saw Kessler’s big smile after the ball went through the hoop, but he wasn’t surprised.
“I was talking to him as he got ready and told him he was going to knock those down. I have confidence in him,” Clarkson said.
Markkanen switched onto Wagner beyond the 3-point line and blocked the attempt to tie just as the shot left Wagner’s hand.
Wagner, who scored 26 points, matched a career best of five 3-pointers, including an off-balance 28-foot runner to beat the third-quarter buzzer.
“We were just switching everything and I thought he’d probably shoot a 3, so I tried to stay down and not to foul, but I got a piece of it and we won,” Markannen said.
The Magic erased a 12-point fourth quarter lead with a 19-6 run that was capped by Markelle Fultz’s layup with 42.1 seconds to play that made it 108-107 for Orlando.
“I think the fight was there. The intensity was there,” Wagner said. “I think there was a bunch of moments in the game where we didn’t quit and that’s definitely something to build on.”
Remarkably, Markkanen led the game in scoring despite not having a single field goal after the first quarter.
“I felt like I spent most of the game on the ground after those fouls,” Markkanen said.
Facing strong closeouts, Markkanen often took the ball to the basket and the Magic — without much rim protection — were forced to foul. The 7-foot Finnish star set career highs on both free throws made (17) and attempted (21).
Before this season, Markkanen only had five games where he shot more than 10 free throws. The aggressive Markkanen has shot double-digit free throws five times in his last seven games.
Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter, Jr. each had 19 points for the Magic. They are gone 2-2 on a five-game Western trip.
Sexton returned to the Utah lineup after missing the past five games with a hamstring strain to score 18 points, while Kessler had 13 points, nine rebounds and a career-high seven blocked shots.
The Jazz won back-to-back games for the first time in ten starts.

1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the new "Candy Corn Witch" flavor, but I was incredibly disappointed with it. The taste was way too artificial and fake. It didn't have that sweet and familiar candy corn flavor at all. Instead, it tasted like a strange combination of fake candy and chemicals. I couldn't even finish the whole bag because it was just too unappetizing. I was really hoping for a delicious Halloween treat, but this definitely missed the mark for me.
2. Mike - 1/5 - I don't understand why anyone would enjoy the "Candy Corn Witch" flavor. It was absolutely revolting. The taste was sickeningly sweet and had a strange aftertaste that lingered in your mouth. It felt like I was eating pure sugar, and not in a good way. The texture was sticky and gooey, making it even harder to enjoy. I can't understand why this flavor even exists, let alone why anyone would want to eat it.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - As a huge candy corn lover, I was really excited when I heard about the "Candy Corn Witch" flavor. However, it fell completely flat for me. The taste was overly artificial and lacked the familiar buttery and sweet flavor that candy corn is known for. It had a strange chemical taste that was very off-putting. The texture was also weirdly chewy and almost felt stale. I was really disappointed with this flavor and wouldn't recommend it to any candy corn fans.
4. Alex - 3/5 - I was intrigued by the idea of a "Candy Corn Witch" flavor, but it didn't really hit the mark for me.

Additionally, the texture was a bit too sticky and chewy for my liking. Overall, it was an interesting concept, but it didn't deliver on the execution.
