## The story

Every October, the tri-color candy kernels returned, and so did the argument. Half the internet called them a treasure, the other half called them sugary candle wax. People posted polls, made charts, and staged dramatic taste tests for their followers. Nobody ever changed their mind, but somehow every store sold out anyway.

## Fun fact

Nibbling the white tips first was a habit shared by both sides, which neither side ever acknowledged.
