Whoppers are 95% great. It's that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.

[–] blueday@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yea, the periodic weird one really makes it an exciting gamble.

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite taste like accepting your fate.

Wait... Is it always the same circus or a brand named circus? What are circus peanuts?

Edit: Nope found it. WTF? Do they taste like peanuts?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Do they taste like peanuts?

No. They taste like chewy sugar rubber goo. Idk how to properly describe it, but I haven't eaten them since childhood.

Joke's on you, I loved munching on those as a kid, they're basically savory candy!

Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

If you're reading this and have never tried this, get some, it's a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

[–] folekaule@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, I'm a big fan. It's definitely an acquired taste, though.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Some of that is amazing.

If you ever see a Pantteri Mix bag, pick one up.

Some or most salty licorice is pretty shit tho imo

This is so wrong! Love sucking on them Whoppers

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Frick no!

But for real though, I suck on the whoppers and let the malt center dissolve. Only downside is sometimes it makes the roof of your mouth rawπŸ˜‚

Airheads.

They taste like I imagine flavored window caulking would.

[–] nebula42@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What you do is you let them dissolve in your mouth, do that and they turn into at least an A tier candy trust

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

White chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups.

Lol, you're something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they're just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? πŸ˜†

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

Also, if your candy corn sucks, it's because it's not Brach's.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In the US dots can also refer to candy buttons as well as the gross gumdrops

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like the gross gumdrops, but I don't care for the acid blotters.

Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

They're like Maltesers

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Chunky bars. Kids like raisins in their chocolate, right?

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

This is correct

Mounds/Almond Joy. Yuck. Always threw those out as a kid (well OK probably gave them to my mother).
