Candy Corn In Space: More Than A Snack | NPR

Astronauts are allowed to bring special “crew preference” items when they go up in space. NASA astronaut Don Pettit chose candy corn for his five and a half month stint aboard the International Space Station. But these candy corn were more than a snack, Pettit used them for experimentation. Footage courtesy of Don Pettit. Music courtesy of Bardo Music/South Hill Project.

Never has a personal experiment in outer space looked - and tasted - so sweet.
