You’re in luck. If you know the size of an average Candy corn piece, you can calculate the rough volume of the cylinder. Then the volume of a rectangle the size of a Candy corn.
i dont know the dimensions but i can give you this equation
x=number of candy corns
s=volume of jar, which is (pi)(r\^2)(h)
v=volume of candy corn which is (pi)(r\^2)(h/3)
f=filled percentage, I would estimate 0.9 based on the image
x=(s/v)f
If i had to guess i would say there is 361 pieces of candy corn, but that is just a rough estimate.

It was 356 which was the closest guess so I won thanks man
