Am I the only one who doesnt care for watermelon flavor?

Of all the "red" flavors, watermelon is the most disappointing. Just give me cherry, strawberry, or raspberry. Far, far superior.

[–] jordanlund 2 points 8 hours ago

Watermelon and strawberry both, just gross.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 17 hours ago

You never see my man kiwi without that damn upstagin' strawberry

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Lime? Don’t see a lot of lime candy all by themselves.

Butter too. So many candies include butter, but it’s rarely hyped as the star flavor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What about butterscotch, though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

No thanks, I’ll take it without the butter.

A man of culture, I see

Whatever these orange "peanuts" are

[–] Postmortal_Pop 17 points 17 hours ago

Ah, the texture of fine styrofoam and the flavor of nearly extinct fruit shaped like a cartoon depiction of the least memorable circus snack. Truly a champion among sweets.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

I used to love those as a kid. They were even better when they were a little stale and they had a firmer outer crust while the inside was nice and soft. Havent had them in ages, though.

Yeah, wtf? Grape is fantastic. Its literally the flavor "purple".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

In Britain, if not Europe, "purple" is often blackcurrant, not grape.

[–] TootSweet 11 points 19 hours ago

I'll take the grape ones if you don't want them.

Particularly Pixie Stix. Grape's the best flavor of those.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Surprised to see Grape so many times! The fake grape flavor of grape candy is my favorite!

[–] captainlezbian 1 points 4 hours ago

You’re not alone, I love artificial grape

[–] Thebular 5 points 7 hours ago

Let's play hide and seek, I'll hide and you seek professional help.

All joking aside, I'm glad you enjoy them! I've never really met anyone who does so I always have to just begrudgingly eat the grape candy myself when it comes in a bag with different flavors. I hate food waste too much to throw the damn stuff out

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You know if a candy line has a fruit punch flavor you're in for an iffy time.

[–] Rhynoplaz 14 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Fruit punch is just all the fruits that you wouldn't eat individually mixed together. A jambalaya of mediocrity.

[–] BigBrainBrett2517 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

'Jambalaya of Mediocrity'. Excellent.

A Gumbo of Meh

As a certified Orange Enjoyer, it always perplexed me how other kids were always so ready to trade away their orange Starburst.

As someone who also thinks the pink ones are way overrated, though, it ultimately didn't matter to me, because li'l me was out there making some deals

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Is it the flavor of the orange fruit or the flavor of the color orange? n o o n e k n o w s

Cherry for me. Common flavor in lots of fruity candy mixes but not my favorite. I do like cherry sours on their own though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Luden’s cherry cough drops for me. I can eat them like candy, and honestly they probably are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

My disdain for cherry candies actually comes from a childhood of sore throats and, therefore, gratuitous cherry-flavored medicines. I know it’s all mental but I can ’feel’ my tongue go numb from anything with that cherry flavor…

[–] Boozilla 15 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

Some iffy candidates:

  • root beer
  • black licorice
  • grape
[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Root beer barrels come to mind. Obviously black licorice has it's own candy. Usually I see grape flavored fun dip and pop rocks

Whatever the hell candy corn is.

[–] grasshopper_mouse 7 points 18 hours ago

It's made with honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla, and I loooove it.

[–] Idreamofcheesy 8 points 20 hours ago (7 children)

Eat it with a handful of peanuts. Goes from awful to awesome.

I don't understand the question

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago

I'd guess that they mean that they reliably show up in an assortment but aren't many people's favorite.

Yes. Orange never the star. Especially in jellies/chews.
