SO let me get this straight...

You yanks eat banana flavoured candy peanuts instead of REAL peanuts that are rich in energy and contain health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for our health?

No wonder you yanks are all fat fuckers!

Peanuts are actually so calorie dense it's better if Americans don't eat them.

Nobody actually eats Circus Peanuts. They're strictly decorative.

We used to get cany cigarettes that were gum with a paper wrapper. There was powdered sugar inside so when you blew into them it looked like smoke. Thank you for reading.

One of my fond childhood memories is doing this with a pal while sitting on a curb in my old neighborhood. I think we were in the fourth grade. We got this SUPER dirty look from an old lady passing by in her car. She was clearly appalled.

I think it is reasonably safe to assume that "fruit flavored candy" will be flavored, but that the flavor will resemble the fruit in question only slightly more that it resembles something like burning tires or rotten tuna.



Unless it is Durian-flavored candy, in which case the burning tire/rotten tuna flavor is the actual intention.

No no that's not quite accurate. Having actually eaten a Durian, I can assure you, unwrapping the candy would fill the room with the SMELL of rotten tuna but the candy would taste like banana pudding.

Yeah similarly Pat Catan's in Ohio had the marshmallow cones and other weird candy poo poo by the checkout.

Including those candy buttons on paper; does anyone really have nostalgia for those things?

(It's me, I am the old person who buys the crafty garbage).

There has to be some near-ripoff of these somewhere. How does something like that just loving disappear?

Same way PB Crisps did-- the universe loving hates Peanut Butter candies that aren't Reeses or Butterfinger.

Try Take5. It's definitely not the same cause of the caramel/pretzel/peanuts bit but it's got that "crunchy + peanut butter" flavor to it.

If you are from the UK then penny saucers were the worst things ever. Imagine a blistered communion wafer with a quarter teaspoon of sherbet stuck in it. I assume the flavour was supposed to be "pastel colour".
