Candy corn is famously one of the most polarizing candies out there--so how do you feel about staying in a candy corn-themed hotel suite? Spooky season is just around the corner!

If you are one of the (few) people who love candy corn then this candy corn-themed hotel suite is for you! BRACH's Candy Corn Suite is described as a "tri-colored oasis" and it's a lot on your senses. It looks so bright I can't image getting a good sleep there. The orange is so bright I feel like you could see it in the dark!

You Can Stay In A Candy Corn-Themed Hotel Suite

There are all sorts of unique stays you can find online. There's the famous Baked Potato on Airbnb that you can stay at in Idaho. Then, there are many other themed rooms out there that people love to stay at. However, theming a suite on candy corn seems like a decision that could be risky--not everyone loves the candy. In fact, it's become quite famous for being disliked.

According to PR Newswire, candy can superfans can reserve their stay in the BRACH's Candy Corn Suite that's exclusively offered at 2 Great Wolf Lodge locations--one in Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania and another in Gurnee, Illinois. Both of these are very popular tourist and vacation destinations in their respective states. Availability in the rooms come at a first-come first-served basis and will be available from the first day of fall (September 22nd) through Halloween (October 31st). It is certainly one-of-a-kind. The headboards on the beds are shaped like candy corn, the colors all match the candy, and there's even a cool push tray to hold your sweets.

This isn't just a stay--it's an experience. According to PR Newswire, the guest experience includes a fully stocked pantry cart with BRACH's Classic Candy Corn, Mellowcreme Pumpkins, and other snacks to enjoy during the fall; a unique hotel suite; and membership in the official BRACH's Candy Corn Club giving guests a year supply of the candy!

So, if you or someone in your life happens to love the treat but you don't--this is a great time to get some quality time by yourself. Send them and their friends to the suite and they can have what they love and you can finally get some time alone. Chad Womack, Director of BRACH's Seasonal Marketing at Ferrara Candy Company tells PR Newswire, "We know candy corn is always a hotly debated topic come this time of year, and in fact, our recent survey uncovered many Americans who plan to celebrate the fall season (72%) agree people have polarizing opinions about candy corn. We're focused on the candy corn superfans. I always love to see the creative candy corn memes crop up this time of year, and we're looking forward to seeing how fans enjoy a real-life candy corn dreamland with the BRACH's Candy Corn Suite at Great Wolf Lodge. It's delicious-looking, fun, and oh-so timely for Halloween's sweetest moments."

9 Worst Trick or Treat Handouts for Halloween

Halloween is the time of year when spookiness takes center stage, and creative costumes rule the streets. It’s also the day of the beloved tradition, trick-or-treating. Whether you're a kid dreaming of a candy jackpot or an adult admiring the neighborhood's costume creativity while handing out treats, it's a highlight of the year.

However, you'll always find that one neighbor who likes to shake things up by handing out something other than candy. It's not always a bad thing, though. Some people do it for a good reason, like considering kids with dietary restrictions. But if you're considering going outside the box, you should avoid certain trick-or-treat handouts.

Let's talk about the Halloween horrors, the stuff no one wants in their trick-or-treat bag. First on the list are those infamous toothbrushes or dental floss packs. Halloween is the one night a year when kids can indulge in a sugar frenzy, and suddenly, you're handed a dental hygiene product. It's like being told to eat your veggies at a birthday party. Then there are the homemade treats. While some homemade goodies can be delicious, receiving unlabeled, homemade treats can make even the bravest trick-or-treater think twice; also, most parent's won't feel comfortable with that and may dispose of them. All of your hard work will go to waste! Safety is paramount on Halloween, and unwrapped or unlabeled edibles can raise concerns.

Another item to avoid is pennies. They're not even worth the trip to the store, and they make you question if you've accidentally stumbled into a time machine back to the 1950s. If you’re going to give out money on Halloween, make it worthwhile if you can swing it. While Halloween is all about surprises, pennies are definitely not the kind of surprises anyone hopes for.

Take a look at some of the worst trick-or-treat handouts for Halloween.

Key Chains

Keychains are handy, but they're not exactly the kind of treasure kids hope to find in their candy haul. They want stuff that's sweet, not stuff for keys they don't have. Save yourself some money and pass on key chains.

Hygiene Products

We all know cleanliness is important, but getting soap, shampoo, or hand sanitizer in your treat bag on Halloween is not what kids look forward to. It's a treat, not a trip to the pharmacy. It's like getting socks for Christmas. While practical, it's not exactly exciting.

Loose Change

Coins may have been an acceptable treat decades ago, but nowadays, they're seen as disappointing. Kids prefer candy. Or maybe small toys (if they're exciting/cool enough). Unless, you're giving away the big bucks, steer clear of this one.

Trail Mix

Healthy snacks are great, but Halloween is all about the sugar rush. Kids aren't exactly thrilled to find a mix of fruit and nuts in their bag. They're hoping for chocolates and gummies, not something they associate with after-school snacks.

Coupons

Adults may appreciate coupons for discounts at local businesses, but they don't make for a fun Halloween treat for kids. Saving money is cool, but Halloween is all about instant gratification. And coupons for discounts don't really make the cut.

Brochures or Pamphlets

Halloween is not the time to distribute religious or informational materials. Kids are looking for fun and treats, not pamphlets. Consider giving those away another day that's not Halloween.

Toothbrushes and Dental Floss

Halloween is all about the candy, right? So, if you toss a toothbrush or dental floss into a kid's stash of treats, you're basically inviting disappointment. Plus, it's safe to assume that the trick-or-treater already has a toothbrush. Do they truly need another one?

Unwrapped Candy

Throwing unwrapped candy into a plastic pumpkin? That's just asking for a sticky mess. Plus, it's not the cleanest option. And given the concerns these days, it's just another worry for parents who fear someone might mess with their child's candy.

Homemade Treats

Those fancy homemade snacks that look like they came straight from Pinterest can be cute, but if you don't really know the kids or their parents, they might wonder about your intentions. Sticking to pre-packaged treats is your best bet on Halloween, especially if you're trying to keep trick-or-treating simple and sanitary.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
