You can even buy them in bags of all reds, so you no longer have to deal with the hell-spawned green apple flavor

Every variety candy with green apple as a flavor would be better if it was replaced with lime.

It was weird how there was a unified industry switch from lime to apple as the standard green flavor like twenty or so years ago

I bet whatever forty-letter chemical makes the apple flavor got real cheap around that time

I think lime was in general considered to be the worst of the flavors back then. Green Apple was skyrocketing in popularity so it seems like it was probably a no-brainer replacement for cheap candy producers.

Nothing wrong with that. Lemonheads are loving delicious.

The OG Starburst spread of Cherry, Strawberry, Lemon, and Orange is still the best flavor mix. All bangers, and no trash Green Apple, Banana, or Grape to get mad at.

I’m fine with green apple but I will never forgive those degenerate skittles sons of bitches for replacing lime with it.

Yeah, similarly LifeSavers. Same canonical five flavors. They were perfect.

Now it's all fuckin green apple, watermelon, and BLUE RASPBERRY as far as the eye can see

they switched back the green Skittles from apple to lime just recently. had some Skittles somewhat recently and it threw me for a loop on why they tasted somewhat different

fake edit: just googled it and apparently they switched to green apple in just 2013. had no idea

Eh. I've never been a particularly big fan of pretzels or pretzel rolls.

tell you what's good are those honey mustard pretzel fragments. here's one weird trick you do: put a towel over the bag and smash the fragments into even smaller fragments with a blunt object. then shake up the bag. this exposes more of the pretzel interiors, which are better at sticking to the flav-o-dust than the hard smooth pretzel exteriors. this way you get more Flavor in each individual fragment.

I had them recently and was similarly underwhelmed. I do wonder if that is solely due to childhood me having bad taste, or if they have cut down on the amount of filling in the last 25 years or something.

The buffalo wing flavor ones are also good, although I have not tried your smash 'em technique.

I liked Combos a bunch in college, and the best flavor was corn tortilla with salsa interior.

Also I feel like when I was a kid there was a point where green apple was being introduced and all the candy assortments were adding it. I think there were multiple "mystery flavor" promotions where the big reveal was green apple.
