Yes, you can, all the candy corn is yours. Nobody is going to fight you for it. Well, maybe the guy who likes waxed lips and circus peanuts.

We don't talk to that guy.

Seriously though, I noticed it a lot when I was growing up. Seemed like my friends, family, and classmates were always trying to talk me out of liking the stuff that I liked--candy corn (apparently it tastes like wax?), oatmeal raisin cookies (they aren't chocolate chip, therefore they are BadWrongCookie), CCR (not on MTV = not worthy of respect, I guess?), Elfquest comics (why aren't you reading X-Men? Everybody reads X-Men!), Terry Brooks (you know he just ripped off Tolkien, right?), the list goes on.

Speaking of which, why do you play 5e? Don't you know you should be playing..

Elfquest was way hornier than X-Men, at least pre-Krakoa, so it always had that going for it.

Ugh, seriously.

STOP TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD LIKE, KEVIN. THIS IS WHY YOU DIDN'T GET INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Oh my God, yes! And the edges are brown, which means the pepperoni there is crunchy and super tasty.

 

[Maxperson]

I'll have double pepperoni.

That will be $50 more please.

In the instance of candy corn, I can assure you, its not everyone you know that is crazy.

Cilantro taste like soap to some people. We should pity them, not make fun of them or constantly tell them that they're wrong. They are wrong, but repeatedly telling them so just makes everyone miserable. Unless that's the reason why you do it, to make other people miserable.

Isn't there a genetic reason for that? I remember reading something about a chromosome mutation makes cilantro taste really bitter and soapy to roughly half of the population.

And I still say the same thing today that I said to them: "....so I can have all the candy corn for myself? Thanks!"

This is the best thing about loving things that most other people hate. More for me then. Oh no, all the cookies are already gone except oatmeal raisin? What a shame... for the rest of you
