OT What's your favorite candy?
So is it OT season yet? Yes? No? Maybe?
Either way, I'm having an absolutely fucked day at work because our IT department's incompetency is Dave Brandon as CEO level. I thought I would kill some time by starting a heated MgoBoard debate.
What is your favorite candy and why is it Peanut M&M's?
In B4 FauxMo says something totally fucked like Circus Peanuts or Banana Runts.
Fruit Stripes gum for good for 2 bites and then like chewing paper.
Concept is great! Packaging is great! Each individual stick looks great! First 30 seconds is great! Then the happy clown in your mouth turns into Pennywise and bites your arm off (ostensibly the arm you put the enclosed tattoo on).
Necco wafers is the worst candy. A pink Necco wafer is virtually indistinguishable from a pepto bismol tablet in terms of taste and texture, and that's not even the worst flavor (which is licorice)!
You may be happy to hear the WSJ reported that Necco is probably going out of business unless a buyer wants to save that confection (a la Twinkies a few years ago). What will builders of gingerbread houses do for roof tiles? Many are stocking up now.
I actuallly love banana runts. Didn't know I was on such a disturbed island.
I enjoy banana runts, grape jolly ranchers, and mounds bars. I have accepted the fact that I am not in the norm with any of those.
bet you like off brand tootsie rolls and candy corn too
I may be a little strange, but I'm not a fricken psychopath.
I like the "Autumn" candy corn with the brown base as opposed to the orange ones.
I think by off-brand candy corn, he meant candy corn that isn't made by Brach's.
What are these off-brand tootsie rolls that you speak of?
Yorkie poops. I recommend you stay away from them...
Are grape jolly ranchers hated by most? I love them. I'm a big time fan of grade hard candy. Even grape gum is great.
Banana runts are great. Banana Laffy Taffy is garbage, however.
I enjoy banana runts and circus peanuts in small doses. I may be depraved...
My favorite candy is the candy that gets the kids into my white windowless panel van with the least resistance...
You may have to offer them free WiFi to get them in your van now....
I knew some response like this was coming, yet I still laughed.
You know how when you'd go trick-or-treating, and you'd come home with a pillowcase full of loot? And how little by little, its contents would decrease, until there'd be nothing left but the uneatable crap, and sometime around Christmas, your Mom would finally make you throw the rest of it away?
I guarantee that circus peanuts were the one candy that landed in the trash.
I remember those. Every couple of years I'd find one in the bag, wonder "Why don't I eat these?" and try one. Thirty seconds later I'd split it in the trash and think, "Oh right - THAT'S why!"
One thing that was never as good as it looked was a popcorn ball. If you got one freshly made, sure. But if it sat in the bag for a few days and got stale, it was like trying to eat a hunk of styrofoam covered in glue. Not worth the effort.

are the best. I could probably sit and eat them all day.

BUN, come in vanilla, maple and one other flavor, all delicious and Chunky, packed chocolate square, full of nuts and raisins. Oh yeah, hard to beat those two.
Sour Skittles
Every time I think I'm getting a lime and it is sour apple again, I swear them off forever... until it slips my mind and I'm fooled again. Don't think I'll forget again.
just cut open a fresh lime as you eat them. Each skittle actually has the same taste. It's the smell that you are talking about.
Fun candy experiement! close your eyes plug your nose and ask someone to give you a skittle and try to tell what color it was.
Haha, I did say it was a fun candy experiment. Go have at it.
Oh, and the shell is not distinct. It's "mind-bottling" I know.
I don't think I have had sour Skittles, but would certainly have some. I love sour candy. My favorite Skittles are the berry bunches.
Sour Patch Kids
Boston Baked Beans
candy covered peanuts
i like to bite off the candy shell when it's in my mouth and chew the peanut and candy separately
+1 for both Boston Baked Beans, and the method of eating.
