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 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

This is so wrong! Love sucking on them Whoppers

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

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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˜‚

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

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

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 1 week ago (3 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

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.

They're like Maltesers
