The Reese’s Outrageous bars, which are like Nutrageous with the nuts replaced with Reese’s Pieces, are extremely good. Trolli Sour Brite Octopuses may be the best sour candy. Around Halloween though? Give me your whoppers. Malted milk rocks.

i like the candy corns and other shapes but they have to be mixed with other stuff or taken in small doses, responsibly. some of them have chocolate bits.

I cannot stand candy corn, and my wife was convinced that I would like the chocolate candy corns, as they are "so much better." Nope. I wish I liked them the way other people do

most people don't like them much, I think. I mean they're widely considered one of the blander, less popular candies. i remembered i wanted to bring up those strawberry candies though. you know the ones in the strawberry wrappers. never seen a name for em.

I was curious about the ubiquitous strawberry grandma candies which took me here:some well-researched rando posted:“If you remember the Depression, if you remember the shortages, you had bowls out, and they were there for anybody to take all they wanted,” Benjamin says. “Grandmothers carried candies in their purses, and if you had a sore throat, a bad taste in your mouth or an upset stomach, out came the candy.” Learning poo poo about my grandmother in the Halloween candy thread

I think candy corn should be a Thanksgiving candy instead of a Halloween candy, corn is much more a thanksgiving thing

Candy corn is much better when it's fresh and soft, but usually it's hard and bland by the time it gets to people.

My mom did the same, except my sister didn’t want them and thus I had no one to share with. Can confirm on the tongue bleeding thing, also I think I remember having the skin on my tongue falling off like a week later. My go to sour candy these days is Haribo’s sour s’ghetti. More often than not I just want some dark chocolate instead which I used to not like as a kid

Haribo is interesting to me because their gummi bears have the best fruit flavor imo, but the gummies themselves are super tough and actually make my jaw hurt chewing them.

This is a Snickers appreciation post. It's not the newest or flashiest candy by any means, but it's a drat good candy bar that I'm always happy to eat. The workhorse of Halloween candy buckets.

TheKingslayer posted:I'm also a sicko that loves Raisinetes I had a history teacher in high school that loved these. Used the giant bags as a bribe to get out of class for extracurricular stuff a couple times. SlinkyMink posted:As a kid my mom bought me and my brother a box of Warheads from Costco and we ate the ENTIRE box (must've been like 5 bags of each flavor in the entire box) in like a week. My mouth was literally bleeding by the end and has never been the same to this day. My days of binging sugar flavored battery acid are over, but man I still raid the Sour Patch and lemonheads whenever I can get them. Mine got "Warheads" and "Air Heads" mixed up once, and bought me the former when I wanted the latter. My tongue wasn't fully evolved yet so I had to do the old "wash off the sour covering" trick to get to the lemony goodness.

I can make myself absolutely sick eating gummy bears and love every minute of it I had pretty significant jaw surgery a little over 10 years ago (my jaw and face is full of metal now) and the Haribo gummies make my jaw ache something fierce. Still eat them though. They have *the* best flavor.

Happy and Fizzy Cola is my go-to Haribo gummies. Gotta let them dissolve in the mouth a little bit before you start chewing, though, I agree.

Does anyone know of a good salmiakki analog attainable in the states? I loving hate licorice but a Swedish friend of mine brought me over some years ago and I couldn't stop eating those things. I have no idea why or how, but it was enjoyable in the most oddly masochistic way I've ever felt eating something. I don't think I LIKED them, per se, but I remember thinking, "why can't I stop eating this poo poo?"

Speaking of ikea they had a pear gummy candy that was white and pink in a green bag and I’ve not seen it in months idk if it’s supply chain issues or they discontinued it or it’s seasonal but that poo poo was good

Speaking of licorice, if you're like me and are kind of unimpressed by Twizzlers but otherwise like the flavor, I highly recommend picking up Australian licorice. I don't know what the difference is but it tastes dramatically better and is often easier to chew, almost a Swedish Fish consistency. Would be my favorite candy if my beloved Nerds Rope didn't exist

Worst candy are those halloween toffees in the orange warppers. I dunno if they are just a Canadian thing but they are the wooooorst. Molasses only has one use, being turned into rum Weak rear end defense from someone in Alberta https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/in-defense-kerrs-molasses-kisses-1.3824498
