Humor Can Candy Corn Be Considered a Vegetable?

[raebates]

What do you think? Can candy corn be counted as a vegetable? I just thought that if I could count candy corn I'd be sure to get my 5 or more servings a day.

I'm the dud who said 'no' first! but I'm also a mom...I have to say that!

I am not a mom..so for me it is different..and I always use the chocolate is a vegetable line..LOL

 

[wadesgirl]

I said Absolutely!

I'm a Mom, but I still said YES!

We buy one bag of BRACH's (only Brach's will do) at this time of year every year...and enjoy them completely and without guilt or remorse.

I'm with you Becky, except instead of "we" buying and consuming....it's just "me."

LOL - I'd like it to be just me...but it's hard to keep them hidden from DH.

We were married in October, and at the reception, instead of mints or something like that on the tables, we had Candy Corn and Peanuts. DH and I both :love:LOVE:love: candy corn.


Great...now I want some - and we haven't bought any yet.:cry:

Thank you all my enablers. The Furry Guy insists that the answer is no, so I haven't bought any. He did mention that he saw the gourmet candy corn and hopes some will be left to go on sale after Halloween--especially the blackberry.

Here's someone who wants to help you, Rae.

LOL Rae you are too much!!! I think it should count for sure but not sure my boot camp instructor would agree!! LOL

Well, I get adequate pumpkin intake also with my Brach's pumpkins too! Perhaps this is why I resemble a pumpkin????

 

[raebates]

Ann, you in no way resemble a pumpkin. You did make me laugh, though.

I'm a candy corn purist. I don't believe they should come in any flavors other than candy corn flavor.

(smacking hand on forehead) Duh! Why didn't I think of that? And pumpkin is so good for us!

Yeah, my problem is it would be way more than 5 servings in a day, so I try to keep from having these particular vegetables in the house too much.

Ok, now tell me how I can use health benefits as an excuse to drink lots and lots of egg nog (since that will soon be available, too).

 

[raebates]

Egg is good for you. Nog sounds nasty, so it has to be good for you. Therefore, eggnog is clearly a health food. I've been watching for eggnog in my local grocery deli. I never liked it until last year. I bought some for eggnog cookies and tried some of the leftovers in my coffee. Yum!

It's even better warmed up with some brandy in it.Oh, wait. That's Tom & Jerry. Never mind.

 

[raebates]

My Grandma used to drink those. Of course, she would start her morning with Bloody Marys and end it with straight Whiskey. Tom & Jerrys were just a holiday treat. Thankfully, she was sober for the last several years of her life.
