Few candies in America are loved and loathed with such equal energy. Each little piece is shaped like a fat kernel of corn, wider than your fingernail, painted in three stripes: a white tip, an orange middle, and a yellow base. It is soft but waxy, and so sweet it seems to buzz on your tongue. Somehow this tiny triangle has become one of the most recognizable candies of the Halloween season, and one of the most divisive.  \nThat division has a surprisingly long history, because this candy is far older than  \nmost people guess. It was invented in the 1880s, back when the majority of Americans still lived on farms and worked the land. Historians usually credit George Renninger, a candy maker at the Wunderle Candy Company in Philadelphia, with dreaming up the recipe. At a time when candy was often plain and one color, a striped piece shaped like a crop was a clever novelty. Renninger's little kernel was designed to look like something a farmer grew, which is exactly why the country noticed it.  \nLooking like a crop was the whole point, and that choice tells you something about the America that first bought it. In the late 1800s, corn was not just food; it was the symbol of an entire way of life, the thing that fed families and livestock alike. A candy shaped like corn spoke directly to that world, which is one reason it was originally sold as a year-round treat called \"chicken feed,\" not a Halloween snack at all. Manufacturerseven printed a rooster on early boxes, leaning into the farm joke. In other words, the candy we now file under October was first a wink at farm life the whole year round.  \nMaking that farm joke by hand was slow, grueling work that few of us would volunteer for today. Workers melted sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients into a hot slurry, then poured it into kernel-shaped molds in three separate passes, one color at a time. Men called \"stringers\" walked backward down the line, hauling heavy buckets and dribbling each layer in turn so the white, orange, and yellow set in order. The whole batch had to cool and firm between pours, so a single tray took real patience. Today machines do the layering in seconds, but the recipe and those same three colors have barely changed in more than a century.  \nThose unchanged colors are part of why the candy became a fixture, and why it eventually drifted toward one holiday in particular. As Halloween grew into a major American celebration in the twentieth century, the treat's warm autumn colors and harvest shape made it a natural fit for October. Companies began marketing it heavily for the season, and the year-round \"chicken feed\" slowly became a fall tradition instead. According to the National Confectioners Association, manufacturers now produce billions of pieces each year, most of them sold in the weeks around Halloween. A candy born to celebrate the cornfield had found a second life celebrating the jack-o'-lantern.  \nAnd still, after all these years, people cannot agree on whether the stuff is any good. Critics call it flavorless sugar in a costume; fans insist the honey-and-vanilla sweetness is exactly the point. Surveys  \ntaken around Halloween regularly place it near the top of America's \"most hated\" candy lists, yet stores keep selling it out every autumn, which tells you the haters may be outnumbered at the register. That contradiction is the real secret of candy corn: a treat can be wildly unpopular in conversation and wildly popular in the shopping cart at the very same time. Perhaps the most surprising thing is that a candy invented to look like farm feed has survived, unchanged, longer than the cars, phones, and songs of every generation that has argued about it.  \nCandy Corn  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Which detail best supports the idea that candy corn provokes strong, opposite reactions?\u003Cbr>A.
