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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

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

[–] Boozilla 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Some iffy candidates:

  • root beer
  • black licorice
  • grape
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (5 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

Black licorice

I am Dutch and questioning the core of my existence now.

[–] grasshopper_mouse 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Don't you guys have salted black licorice, too? That's like the candy version of adding insult to injury.

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

[–] Thebular 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

Whatever these orange "peanuts" are

[–] Postmortal_Pop 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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

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] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month 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…

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

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 4 points 1 month ago

Watermelon and strawberry both, just gross.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month 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] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about butterscotch, though?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

A man of culture, I see

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Whatever the hell candy corn is.

[–] Idreamofcheesy 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] MegaUltraChicken 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Like the crunchy ones that come in shells or the god forsaken orange foam ”candy"?

[–] Idreamofcheesy 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol yes real peanuts. I wouldn't wish the orange foam on my worst enemies.

[–] Postmortal_Pop 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wish them on me instead, I adore them!

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You have exclusive rights to any foam peanuts that come my way.

Circus peanuts! Even as a kid, those things were disgusting.

[–] grasshopper_mouse 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't understand the question

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

My sense is it's getting at "what's an overated candy flavor"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] BigBrainBrett2517 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

'Jambalaya of Mediocrity'. Excellent.

Onion.

It's in almost everything; but almost nobody claims it to be their favorite.

[–] breadsmasher 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

onion flavoured candy is the best

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] davidgro 3 points 1 month ago

Archie McPhee is cheating. They have ketchup hard candies among other incredible atrocities.

Sadly it looks like they no longer have the Nihilist 'mints' that taste like nothing.
