Start by casting Divine Protection on the entire party and surround them with a Circle of Banishment if you can.

Phthisis posted: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. Sekhmnet posted:*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? So because of this thread I decided to hunt down a bag of these. As described they do have the Spangler branding on them, despite the packaging just being generic store brand. The description of the texture is pretty spot on, drier than what I typically think of as marshmallow, but still surprisingly moist. Like if a merengue cookie wasn't dry all the way through. The sugar really coats the tongue, the same way cornstarch tends to. It's not a bad texture, but kind of unlike anything I had before. The banana flavor isn't bad, but seems weaker than the flavor you get off of banana runts or popsicles, and as such a bit more chemical-y. I'd be interested in trying other flavors, but I imagine the cherry tastes more like NyQuil than other cherry candy. Disappointing to hear that the vanilla is bad, as I typically like vanilla candies. Maybe they just use lovely imitation vanilla in the recipe, and it would be OK if they used quality ingredients  I actually think if you could make these candies with peanut butter or PB powder they would probably be great

I feel like gas stations are the place to find circus peanuts, it seems like every one of them has that same display of a bunch of different candy types, all packaged under some generic brand name.

Here's the rub, they make other flavors, cherry, vanilla, lemon...but you can only get them in a gently caress off huge ASSORTED box straight from the factory. It's like the biggest burn ever on people who are sick of the weird rear end banana flavored ones.

Using circus peanuts as packing peanuts

I am not joking that I'm a weirdo who's been buying circus peanuts semi-regularly for years. I rarely eat candy, but it's one of my go-tos. I've wondered myself about the turnover on these things. Speaking from experience, getting them from random convenience stores means they're gonna be stale and hard. When I get them at the grocery they're so absurdly soft they can almost pass as actual marshmallows. I used to be able to get the variety packs at just a regular Safeway grocery in Baltimore, though I've since moved and haven't found them anywhere else. The variety packs were not in the candy aisle, but in a random part of the store with just metal racks of generic candies in clear plastic bags (shoutout to the wintergreen lozenges you could get there, too). The cherry and vanilla flavors aren't bad (I'm a fan of vanilla flavor myself), but circus peanuts at the end of the day are basically just sugar with cheap flavoring. The cherry and vanilla flavors just don't have the complexity or kick that the banana and lemon does, imo.

I have a $10 off coupon from Walgreen's for getting my Omicron booster. Come hell or high water, I will find some bizarro food for this thread. (Not a Toxx)

Captain Hygiene posted:"What's for dinner?" I scanned over the image and started reading the recipe - apart from the "dietetic-pack tuna", it really doesn't seem too weird. Then I looked the image again, and realized that the chopped lettuce I'd seen before was embedded in lime jelly. An involuntary "Oh God" was the result.

Tuna slop from a can is bad enough on its own. Tuna on top of lettuce embedded within Jello is foul. I don't understand previous generations' obsession with Jello at all.

Indigo tomatoes have been A Thing for about a decade I believe. They're good, even if their flesh usually isn't purple, so I would eat the new purple tomato with gusto.
