It's... weird. Sort of like a silky, creamy corn soup but the "candy" part of it adds this weird sharp sweetness that doesn't go with corn at all. It's not so much like fresh sweet corn on the cob (which I think was the intention) and more like canned corn with sweet n low added.

You madam, have some weird tastes in "candy".

Well, I got it just to see how it was. I like trying funky things like that. Not all of them are successful... for instance, corn candy. :lol:
