We were dismayed to receive the following Concerned Email from Nussbaum resident Allon Brann this afternoon.
Brann, like so many unsuspecting students, attended the Nussbaum incarnation of ResLife’s Thanksgiving free-food giveaway. But “the holiday offering of cider, pie, whipped cream, and candy is merely a front for a sinister aim: the indoctrination and eventual conversion of the non-believers among us,” he said.
You see, the candy corn distributed by ResLife is not candy corn at all! Nay, it’s Scripture Candy (“Reaching the World on Piece at a Time!”), and every package includes a Biblical quotation. (See above for two examples from Corinthians and Romans.) Brann’s package featured the following: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” It’s Romans 5.8, and Allon Brann is not pleased.
Also of note: the Scripture Candy Company labels the candy corn “Harvest Seeds,” when they are abosutely not.

@yes I witness an exorcisms on my floor (Broadway) performed by one of the RAs.
@Sprinkles So…why did ResLife distribute candy corn with Christian messages on the packaging? Anyone know?
@alum i heard about this, but why was there never a bwog or spec article about it. it sounds so unbelievable. would love to hear details.
@ugh God forbid we distribute things that don’t encourage us to treat other humans like disposable pieces of flesh.
@Yes, yes Candy corn is absolutely part of the vast secular “free love” conspiracy. Don’t all of you candy corn eaters know that you’re just degrading your body with your candy corn hookup culture?
@yeah reslife also apparently performs exorcisms too.
@YO BWOG How about a report on NOOG.com? I became a member recently and would love it if more Columbians/Barnardians joined!
(I had nothing to do in the creation of the site, so I’m not promoting it like that!)
@noone would’ve complained if they were handing out snickers
@I know... The lollipop pouches were awesome as well as the thank you card idea.
@lol! I ignored the candy corn ’cause candy corn sucks, but shame on res life.
On another note, the lollipop-pouches were fantastic! i have happily displayed my felt-turkey-lollipop pouch on the door to my room!
@In the know This has absolutely nothing to do with Kromm.
@I don't know.. follow the money.
@Omg be quiet In the know? So you are one of the hundred something RAs employed by ResLife. The whole thing was an honest mistake.
@but how? so how then did it happen? is bwog going to find out for us?
@ehh candy corn sucks, whatever its name may be.
@#4, Still They also sell Cross Pops and Jelly Bean Prayer Bottles.
@Wow Reslife is so cheap that they were using candy that was being given out by proselytizers?
@lulz so is this a “bias act”?
@Obadiah Fear ye the wrath of Kristin Krumm!
@The Krommdor... Needs to be axed…
Love,
former RA
