Despite the fact that it’s generally viewed as a standard Christmas candy, local 27-year-old John Franklin recently told sources that he finds candy canes to be “kind of gross.”
“I mean, it’s got a lot of sugar and stuff, but it’s just minty, and honestly I have yet to figure out a way to eat one where my hands don’t get sticky,” Franklin reported. “Like, come on, no one really LIKES it likes it, right?”
So far, no one has come to the defense of candy canes, putting it in the same category as Halloween’s candy corns, which are common but generally not beloved.
