The bottom is bright yellow, the middle is warm orange, and the very tip is white as snow. It feels waxy and smooth, and when you bite it, it tastes sweet like honey and sugar. This little three-colored treat is called candy corn, and it shows up in bowls all over America every fall!  \nThat corn shape was not picked by accident. Long ago, in the 1880s, most people in America lived and worked on farms, so corn was everywhere. A candy maker named George Renninger, who worked at the Wunderlee Candy Company, made a candy that looked just like the crop farmers grew. People loved that a sweet treat could look like something from their own fields.  \nMaking these little kernels back then was slow, hard work. First, workers heated up sugar until it turned into a thick, gooey syrup. Then they carried heavy buckets and poured the three colors into corn-shaped molds by hand, one layer at a time, so each color could cool before the next one went in. Because it took so much careful pouring, one worker could only make so much in a day.  \nToday machines do the pouring, but the candy still wears the very same three colors it had over a hundred years ago. Here is something funny about it: people argue about candy corn more than almost any other treat! Some folks say it is too sweet and cannot stand it, while others happily eat handfuls every October. Can you believe a candy older than your great-great-grandparents is still starting friendly arguments today?  \nCandy Corn  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What does a piece of candy corn look like?\u003Cbr>A.
