Every Halloween, candy corn hits the shelves at local grocery stores, and the seasonal treat can be a bit polarizing — but at SDtoday, we love it.

So, we filled this glass pumpkin with as much candy corn as we could, and we want to see if you can guess:

How many pieces of candy corn are in the pumpkin?

We’re not trying to trick you with our treats, so here’s some information:

  • Submit your answer here. Readers who guess correctly (or the closest guesses) will receive a shout-out in the Tuesday, Oct. 31, newsletter.
  • Hints: The pumpkin container is approx. 4.25 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep.
  • We’re using “The Price is Right” rules: If you go over, you lose.

Did you know? Pieces of candy corn aren’t a uniform size — happy guessing.
