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.

[–] blueday@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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.

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

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.)

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

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.

[–] folekaule@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] nebula42@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

White chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years 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˜†

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

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

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

I was going to agree, but I haven't had Brach's candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it's hard to be sure.

*latest fad

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I had it the other week. Still great.

[–] encrust9870@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You really need to try mixing the candy corn with salted peanuts. πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘Œ

Chunky bars. Kids like raisins in their chocolate, right?

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is correct

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.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

They're like Maltesers

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mounds/Almond Joy. Yuck. Always threw those out as a kid (well OK probably gave them to my mother).
