Question: What candy was originally called “Chicken Feed”?

Answer: Candy corn. When first produced in the 1880s by the Goelitz Confectionery Company, boxes of candy corn were illustrated with a colorful rooster logo and the tagline: “Something worth crowing for.” Today, more than 35 million pounds (or 9 billion pieces) of candy corn are produced yearly.
