6 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Candy Corn

The recipe is almost exactly the same as it was when it was invented in the 1880s. Terri Pous, BuzzFeed Staff

1. It has a corn shape because ~nature~-inspired candy was all the rage in the 1880s. 2. At one time, it was called Chicken Feed. 3. Amazingly, candy corn was more popular than regular corn when it was first invented. 4. Originally, they were painstakingly made by hand, which led to their association with the fall. 5. The recipe is basically the same as it was in the 1880s. 6. And all these years later, even though it tears our nation asunder year after year, it’s statistically pretty darn popular.

Greetings! My name is Aaron Abreu and I am the Public Affairs Officer for Toastmasters International- Alamo Heights Club. Our group is dedicated in creating leaders and excellent communicators. We are hoping to offer our great program as an "extra credit" for students if they attend a meeting or two. We would also appreciate it if we can advertise about this amazing program! I have our information listed below. They do not need to be members to be part of our group. They can attend meetings as guests and still learn about communication and leadership! Meeting Day: Every Wednesday Meeting Time: 7:00pm Meeting Place: University of the Incarnate Word Administration Building, Room 242 Website: http://alamoheights.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html --------------------------------------------------------------Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our organization has more than 352,000 memberships. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 16,400 clubs in 141 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership. Toastmasters can help you with the following · Get over your fear, overcome anxiety, and shyness of public speaking · Learn better communication skills · Develop leadership skills and qualities · Gain confidence and become assertive · Handle impromptu speaking with ease · Give effective presentations · Improve your interview skills · Improve your story telling, interpretive reading and speech writing · Mentor and coach others · Lots of opportunities for training and more! Thank you so much for your time and effort!
