Skittles, except it's 100% green apple skittles and no other flavors.

I love how they reverted green back to lime in the regular bag. They knew they blew it. You gotta know some higher up loved green apple and wanted it in every skittles bag. Fuck that person. You have terrible taste.

I'm glad to be able to purchase skittles again after a decade+ boycott

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Holy crap, it wasn't just me!

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Are you taking about those weird chewy ones? Because those are my favorites.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

No, some whoppers end up with the inside not all whipped and crunchy, but a little chewy. They're great.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Maybe they meant raisinettes, a lot of people don't like raisons.

Edit: never mind, milk duds are chewy as hell, but also good. I ruled them out because I figured most people would like them (assuming their teeth don't get pulled out).

Side note: if you didnt chew now&laters and instead sucked on them. You have infinitely more self control than I do.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They taste like candied styrofoam to me

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Candied Styrofoam is a good description.

Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.

Whoppers are great! I don't understand the hate.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Crunchy, so I liked them since I'm a texture eater. But I get why people don't like them. It's almost chalky at times on the inside.

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.

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

Those licorice flavored taffy candies that are in a black and orange wrapper.

They are fucking gross as is most anise flavored things but their stickiness makes them worse than other things.

White chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups.

Airheads.

They taste like I imagine flavored window caulking would.

Whoppers never make it to the bowl on my house. They're too good.

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