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

[–] blueday 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 tastes like accepting your fate.

Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 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.

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 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Dasus 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 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] [email protected] 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.

Whoppers never make it to the bowl on my house. They're too good.

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 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 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

Just Almond Joys and Mounds.

[–] [email protected] 7 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

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

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 8 points 3 weeks ago

They're like Maltesers
