First glance I thought it was a piece of raw steak. ๐Ÿคข

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It isn't? โ˜น๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That appears to be a strawberry 'now and later' candy.

[โ€“] dingus 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Now and Laters were just flat out...not good. I don't understand why people use to rave about them. It's like Starbursts but they are infinitely worse because they are made of literal rocks and taste like the shitty paper they are wrapped in.

[โ€“] ysjet 5 points 9 months ago

looks like a cherry starburst to me, which are pretty common to have the wrapper stick to them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I thought it was tuna (or other sashimi) with a little fat on it. Either way, that emoji does not convey my reaction at all.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I thought so until I read your comment ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] Tylerdurdon 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was a dog bacon treat, and the answer is yes, wrapper and all.

...Woof

[โ€“] [email protected] 50 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Absolutely. Used to happen all the time with Now & Laters.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I think that's what's pictured, right ? Because I instantly got the sour cherry with hints of paper flavor in my mouth when I looked at that,

[โ€“] Jerb322 12 points 9 months ago

Definitely a Now n' Later. So many of these in my past.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

You're probably right. At first I thought it was Starburst but it does look more like a Now & Later.

[โ€“] Kaliax 3 points 9 months ago

Absolutely. Now & Laters, bby.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

A now & later yonked my loose tooth out when I was eight

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

The amount of effort to paper ratio is too high, and I need a snack dammit!

[โ€“] Etterra 18 points 9 months ago

Eh what's a little cellulose between snacks?

[โ€“] kromem 14 points 9 months ago

Wait - you can peel them!?!

[โ€“] nul9o9 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Last month i made myself a sandwich and accidentally left the little piece of wax paper that keeps the cheese separate in there.

I realized something was off on my second bite, opened the sandwich, and saw that i took a big ass bite off the wax paper and swallowed it.

[โ€“] Kase 2 points 9 months ago

Have you noticed any new superpowers since then?

[โ€“] Maggoty 12 points 9 months ago

Nope. In my darkest hours getting that last bit of paper off was a welcome distraction.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Yes of course

[โ€“] someguy3 10 points 9 months ago (3 children)

What is that? (The red thing before everyone says paper.)

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Looks like a Now and Later.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Definitely a now and later. I had one a few days ago leftover from Halloween. It did this exactly. Yes, I did eat the paper because why not.

[โ€“] deepfriedchril 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Possibly some kind of taffy sort of candy

[โ€“] Jerb322 10 points 9 months ago

It's a "Now n' Later" ! I use to kill these. I miss not caring about what I ate.

[โ€“] x4740N 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Have you not heard of starburst's

[โ€“] x4740N 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Starburst

Don't know what the hell the other person is saying

[โ€“] x4740N 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

The thing in op's post is squarish

[โ€“] someguy3 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh it's a perspective trick.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I don't often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.

Eating the paper is half the fun of candy dots.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Now and later

Well, there's another one for the stupid-candy-names-list. It can go right under "hundreds and thousands"

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But what's a single one of those called?

A one? A hundredth and thousandth??

I need to know!!

Is that not what they mean when they say something's a good source of fiber?

[โ€“] Coreidan 6 points 9 months ago

A little extra fiber for your diet

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago
[โ€“] BugleFingers 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait, there's Candy in there?? What have I been eating this whole time??

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Disgusting candy covered in sweet, delicious paper.

[โ€“] weirdbeardgame 5 points 9 months ago

You guys don't eat those with half the wrapper attached because the stickiness level of that candy is so powerful it practically has a gravitational force strong enough to attract the sun? ... No, just me?

That's like half the flavor right there

[โ€“] NucleusAdumbens 4 points 9 months ago

Mmm that's the best part

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes. It HURTS to chew paper. Don't do this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Yes. Just swallow. Don't chew.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Sandpaper maybe... But normal paper....

[โ€“] ohlaph 3 points 9 months ago

Sadly, maybe.
