Reach into one jar and you pull out a tiny three-colored treat shaped exactly like a kernel of corn. The pointed tip is white, the middle is orange, and the fat bottom is a sunny yellow. Pop one in your mouth and it melts into a sweet, waxy sugar taste that people still know today.  \nThat corn-kernel shape was no accident, because most Americans back then lived on farms. Candy corn is usually credited to George Renninger of the Wunderle  \nCandy Company, who helped invent it in the 1880s. Corn was a crop families saw every single day, so a candy shaped like it felt friendly and familiar. Some people even called these bite-sized treats\"chicken feed,\" since real corn was fed to chickens on the farm.  \nMaking that friendly little candy was slow, sweaty work in the early days. Workers heated sugar, corn syrup, and water into a hot syrup, then poured it by hand from buckets into kernel-shaped molds. They filled each layer in three separate passes, one for the white, one for the orange, and one for the yellow. Imagine walking those rows of trays all day, pouring color after color, long before any machine could do it for you.  \nMachines eventually took over the pouring, but almost everything else stayed the same. The candy is still made in those same three colors, in that same little kernel shape, more than a hundred years later. That means the piece in your Halloween bag looks nearly identical to one your greatgreat-grandparents might have eaten. Most of it is made in the months before fall, so it shows up on store shelves right around Halloween.  \nBeing around that long has given people plenty of time to argue about it. Ask ten friends whether they love candy corn or can't stand it, and you may get a fierce debate. Some say it tastes like sweet, buttery honey, while others think it is just plain sugar in a fancy shape. Either way, a treat first poured from buckets in the 1880s is still sparking arguments at the candy bowl today.  \nCandy Corn  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What does candy corn look like?\u003Cbr>A.
