Over the last 2-3 years we've seen a HUGE increase in the flavor variety of candy corn, and we've even seen it try to invade the other holidays. On today's Candyology 101, Cybele gives you the scoop on how candy corn is made, we discuss what flavor it's really supposed to be, and share our favorite and least favorite flavors. We also talk about what flavors we'd love to see in the future, candy corn flavored products, and of course, our Trick or Treat section shows you what new products are headed our way. Are you a candy corn lover or a hater? Comment down below! (Listen to see which category Cybele and I fall into.)

July is flying by fast, so let's take a moment to relax and enjoy some classic summer flavors. On today's episode of Candyology101, Cybele and I discuss three candy flavors commonly associated with summer: lemonade, cotton candy, and watermelon.

We take a moment to talk about what makes a lemonade candy different from a plain lemon candy, give you a little history on the origin of cotton candy/fairy floss, and finish things off with some watermelon themed bubble gum machine memories. Which flavor is your favorite?

We've all seen, and made fun of, store-brand candies. There's even a Halloween-themed episode of Gravity Falls that revolves around off-brand "loser" candies. (Or should I say Summerween?) Sure, they're fun to pick on, but some of these off brand items are actually pretty darn good!

In today's episode, Cybele and I talk about the good, the bad, and confess our guilty off-branded candy pleasures.

On this episode of Candyology101, I get to geek out, gush, and be totally jealous of Cybele's trip to the Winter Fancy Food Show. Listen to hear about all the cool new candies and food products headed our way! Everything from different kinds of fancy chocolate, to chicken and waffle flavored salt water taffy! Seriously, there is a chicken and waffles flavored taffy and I totally want some.
