No, they don't taste like peanuts. What are you, a crazy person?

I like gummy bears, but I especially like them when they are old and have more bite and harder to chew, so sometimes I will buy a pack of haribo and rip open the pack and dry-age it for a week; in a pinch refrigeration will also lead to a more chewy and desirable texture, as well as a refreshingly cool gummy flavor, however open air drying is preferable. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES attempt to combine the techniques and do open-air gummy aging inside of your fridge - the gummies will absorb all of the fumes in there like a box of baking soda and taste like garbage

Back in the before times in would go visit the German half of my team in Munich like 2 or 3 times a year. The Munich office stocked every break room with a different kind of Haribo and I would once per trip spend like and hour wandering the office sampling each area's amazing gummy variety until I got a stomach ache and hated myself.

Oh yes. I ate an entire "barrel" once and burnt the outer layer off my tongue and the inside of my cheeks.

By the last 3 or 4 I was struggling to find a spot in my mouth that wasn't in pain.

Our local supermarket has a small British section, and I've been working my way through their soda selection. Burdock and Dandelion soda tastes OK, like a funky ginger/root beer hybrid. Bitter Shandy is just plain odd. Non-alcoholic beer and lemonade is such a weird combination. Are these popular in Britain?

Those malt vinegar pickled onions are the bomb though.

although now that brexit has been achieved, anything is possible

let's start a twitter campaign to bring back original formula Victory lozenges, I'm sure there are several tory Lords who would support this motion out of pure nostalgia

nobody actually drinks dandelion and burdock or non-alchoholic shandy, no.

Dandelion and burdock is like a stereotypical traditional old drink that was probably last actually popular and widely drunk a century ago, and (alcoholic) shandy was what people used to drink when they were driving, in the days when people didn't take drink driving very seriously.
