Also I don't think they actually care for the most part, turns out people will happily shovel massive piles of the most basic flavours into their gobs.

First of May posted:Not extinct! Just not commercially viable. And modern tasters have put this candy flavor and haven't found it to hold up. Gros Michel is maybe sweeter with a softer texture, but still doesn't taste like the candy flavor. yeah they can still be had....if you are willing to pay the price.

Also the fact that Tootsie Roll puts out two entire "candies" that are effectively wax novelties makes me even more sure that Tootsie rolls themselves are loving wax because they taste like wax Fuckin confauxtionary

Continental Cola is a fairly obscure cola that I remember drinking once as a kid and thinking it was terrible. Some of those off-brand colas can be pretty good, but Continental Cola was vile; just weird tasting poo poo.

VictualSquid posted:How about some fake bananas made from gelatine covered with chocolate? So where is the filling on the Jello > Gummi candy chewiness scale? Because I used to like chocolate covered gummi bears, but the last time I had them they must have been expired or the package opened or something as they were way too hard to be enjoyed. OTOH, if this is soft like jello, that would be too soft to hold up under the chocolate coating.

Don't get Brach's circus peanuts. Real circus peanuts are made by Spangler, and usually any random generic bag you get at a gas station or whatever will be made by spangler anyway. They're usually just a little more stale. You can see the name spangler stamped on some of the circus peanuts. As far as I know, there aren't any cheaper, low-quality circus peanuts in production. I can't imagine it's a profitable thing to try to undercut the competition with. There's also actually different flavors of circus peanuts, too. You can get a variety pack with red (cherry), orange (banana), yellow (lemon), and white (vanilla). The lemon ones are really loving good, but the cherry and vanilla ones are such a steep dropoff behind lemon and banana that I usually don't bother with the variety pack. Also for the record I loving love necco wafers. I also like good & plentys. You could say I'm something of an expert in terrible candy. I also really love Andes mints, though, and those are objectively a sleeper top-tier candy.

Cartoon Man posted:I’ve never had Circus Peanuts and now I feel like I need to try some. Where am I gonna get them? Like can I roll up into a 7 - 11 and get some? If you don't have a gas station nearby that has an isle of weird off-brand/no-brand candy and snacks you can always do what I did tonight, and hit up the dollar store. They usually have weird snacks you don't see elsewhere, plus its a dollar!(well 1.25 now)  *edit* trip report: The texture is somewhere between the dry crust on the ouside of a cake frosting and a dense marshmallow; like if you were trying to make taffy and accidently made a marshmallow. I can't taste much beyond sweet but the smell is banana, but then again the smell of new skin liquid bandage is banana. It isn't *bad* tasting, but in a world where peanut butter cups exist why would you settle for this? Sekhmnet has a new favorite as of 07:15 on Sep 16, 2022 |

The store used to stock these little rolls of them that you could re-use as a piggy bank once you were done. Out of nostalgia/quarantine I bought a big old bag from Amazon in 2020 and haven't made a dent in it since. I think I've eaten a dozen of them over the past 2 years.

I never really liked the regular chocolate tootsie rolls, but the vanilla et al ones were always a huge treat that we'd only get because they showed up in the candy tossed out at parades. I have a feeling I'd have the same reaction if I gave in and bought them for a nostalgia trip, though...
