That candy is called candy corn, and it comes in three bright colors! Each little piece has a white tip, an orange middle, and a yellow bottom, just like a real kernel of corn.  \nThose three colors have not changed in a very long time. Candy corn was first made way back in the 1880s, longer ago than your great-greatgrandparents were born! A candy maker named George Renninger, who worked at the Wunderlee Candy Company, is often given credit for the idea.  \nBecause so many people back then lived and worked on farms, the candy was shaped to look like something they knew well: corn! Long ago, workers made it by hand, pouring sugary syrup from buckets in three colored layers. They had to pour one color, let it dry, then pour the next, over andover.  \nEven today, candy corn still looks and tastes almost the same as it did back then. Some people love its sweet, waxy chew, while others say they do not like it one bit! That is why candy corn is one of the most argued-about treats every Halloween.  \nCandy Corn  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What three colors is a piece of candy corn?\u003Cbr>A.
