Milk Duds were intended to be a clean, symmetrical shape. When they came out of the machine looking like shapeless lumps of chocolate and caramel, an employee called them “duds.” The name stuck.

Candy Corn was initially called “Chicken Feed”.

The mystery flavor of Dum Dums is created when the last batch of one flavor is combined with the first batch of the next flavor.

I love candy corn. Never knew the nickname, though. I remember being a kid in the backseat of the car while my mom or dad pulled up to the bank teller, the roar of air as the capsule traveled overhead and the muffled squawk of the teller. Open canister, Dum Dums for the kids. We wave at the shadowy woman inside who is all smile.
