A rational government might say, "If we provide you with subsidies, we expect stricter regulatory standards." But we're a far bit past rational at this point.
The history section says it all. There was a fad of agriculture related candies targeted at rural customers. Jelly beans, squash shapes and so on.
Don't forget we also have circus Peanuts, gummy worms, candy ribbons, etc. Many candies have some sort of shape and design to look like non-candy things just for the novelty.
So are (very old) records: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_record.
Honey is too, no?
Candy corn. Farm corn to create HFCS in order to build candy that looks like corn.
I do wonder how the USA, historically speaking, came to be the creators of this stuff
Unsurprisingly, it was at the behest of investors pushing for both deregulation and massive subsidies at the same time: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9781642834444/ba...

True in other lands as well, such as marzipan made to look like fruit sold throughout much of Europe.
Quite a few candies still use it, including I think jelly beans, gums and chocolates. Candy corn is far from the standout here.
I already really liked candy corn, but this made me like it even more? This is awesome.

So is honey? And red food colouring used in a ton of products is made out of beetles or something. We eat bugs and bug stuff.

I had to type `wtf is candy corn?` into Kagi. It sounds disgusting without needing to know there's bug juice in there.
Do you usually use "wtf" instead of "what" when doing web searches? Does it affect the results? Funny lol
