For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

Whoppers are 95% great. It's that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.

Yea, the periodic weird one really makes it an exciting gamble.

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite tastes like accepting your fate.

Wait... Is it always the same circus or a brand named circus? What are circus peanuts?

Edit: Nope found it. WTF? Do they taste like peanuts?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Do they taste like peanuts?

No. They taste like chewy sugar rubber goo. Idk how to properly describe it, but I haven't eaten them since childhood.

Joke's on you, I loved munching on those as a kid, they're basically savory candy!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)

If you're reading this and have never tried this, get some, it's a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, I'm a big fan. It's definitely an acquired taste, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Some of that is amazing.

If you ever see a Pantteri Mix bag, pick one up.

Some or most salty licorice is pretty shit tho imo

This is so wrong! Love sucking on them Whoppers

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Frick no!

But for real though, I suck on the whoppers and let the malt center dissolve. Only downside is sometimes it makes the roof of your mouth rawπŸ˜‚

Airheads.

They taste like I imagine flavored window caulking would.

Lifesavers because they are some sick Os

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What you do is you let them dissolve in your mouth, do that and they turn into at least an A tier candy trust

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Jell-O cubes. Unpackaged.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol, you're something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they're just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? πŸ˜†

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

Also, if your candy corn sucks, it's because it's not Brach's.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In the US dots can also refer to candy buttons as well as the gross gumdrops

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like the gross gumdrops, but I don't care for the acid blotters.

Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

They're like Maltesers
