For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

This is correct

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.

I love whoppers, candy corn, dots, and circus peanuts...

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

I found my people here.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is so wrong! Love sucking on them Whoppers

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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˜‚

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours 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

How about those stale tar-like hard candies.

Half and half is only fair. Trick or treat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours 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] 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Lol, not a fan of either but at least you get some fiber when the paper sticks to the candies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I had it the other week. Still great.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I was gonna say the same. Always hated candy corn till someone had me try this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

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