玉米糖令人吃驚的5個事實
1. It has been around a long time
1.玉米糖歷史悠久This irresistible candy was supposedly created by a man named George Renninger back in the 1800s. He worked for Wunderlee Candy Company and was the genius who concocted this spooky treat. Mr. Renninger, we salute you.
這一難以抗拒的糖果可能是由19世紀的一位叫做喬治·瑞寧格爾命名的。他在萬得利糖果公司工作，是調製出這一可怕美食的天才。我們向瑞寧格爾先生致敬。2. He was not the best at names
2.玉米糖的名字並不很好
As much as we love George Renninger for coming up with the candy, he did not exactly come up with the best name. When it was first manufactured, it was called “Chicken Feed” since it looked so much like corn kernels. Not exactly appetizing! Luckily, as the sales of the candy stalled, someone had the bright idea to make some adjustments and the name was changed to “Candy Corn”.
雖然我們對喬治·瑞寧格爾做出的之一糖果喜愛有加，但是他並沒有想出最好的名字。當玉米糖開始第一批的生產的時候，因爲糖果看起來非常像玉米粒，所以叫做“家禽飼料”。並不是那麼讓人有食慾！幸運的是，隨着糖果攤上的銷售，有人想出了很好的主意來調整這一糖果的名字，後來就改名爲“玉米糖”。
3. We eat a ton of it
3.我們吃了很多玉米糖Apparently, we are not the only ones who love candy corn. Over 35 MILLION pounds of it are made each year. That’s 9 BILLION pieces! Now we do not feel so bad about the hundred or so that we eat each year.
很顯然，喜歡玉米糖的人並不只有我們。每年玉米糖的產量多達3500萬磅以上。那可是90億塊玉米糖啊！現在我們並不因爲我們每年吃的100塊糖左右感到傷心。4. It is full of sugar
4.玉米糖富含糖分As if you didn’t know that, right? But did you know that 19 pieces equal 28 grams sugar? Now, exactly how many pieces did your kid eat last night? No wonder they had so much energy!
就像你根本不瞭解玉米糖一樣，對吧？但是你知道19塊玉米糖相當於28克的糖嗎？現在，你的孩子昨天晚上到底吃了多少塊糖？難怪他們有那麼多的精力呢！5. It has its own special day
5.玉米糖有自己特殊的日子We love Candy Corn so much that it is actually earned its own holiday. October 30th is officially national Candy Corn Day and has actually inspired quite a few candy corn themed desserts that you should try.
我們太喜歡玉米糖了，實際上還給它爭取了一個節日。10月30日是法定的玉米糖節日，實際上還激發了許多你應該試一試的玉米糖主題甜點。
