It's flying saucers or pear drops, but I'm just not prepared to make a commitment either way.

I would like an explanation for Circus peanuts.


Let's start with the fact that it is called and shaped like a peanut. It's bright orange, spongy in texture and finally it's banana flavored.

None of this makes any sort of loving sense.

These are a holdover from when peanuts were an exotic and foreign food, so people didn't know better.

The best sweets have vaguely sinister names like that. Names that imply that they contain human body parts, or even better those that are made of babies. It's got a Victorian-Dickensonian-Old England feel to it, like maybe once upon a time they really did contain unethical ingredients. Did you ever do that thing in primary school where you go up to the girl who loves horses, give her some jelly to eat, and then when she's half way through it tell her that jelly is made out of horses' hooves? It's a bit like that.

gently caress right off, I wish the USA had candy half that interesting. Any time a stores opens like "Fagguette Q. Dinglehopper's Old Tyme Candee Shoppe" it closes down a week later because Americans have absolutely no imagination or taste.

I have to go out of my way to some international food market and dig through all the dried squid and packets of weird sauces to find decent candy.

e: calling candies "sweeties" though is really stupid and sounds like baby talk

You are an adult, candy should be a novelty at best in your life. You shouldn't be going on missions to find poo poo to help lure children to your loving van.

i voted for sherbet lemons but i really meant to vote for fizzy coke bottles. runts, warheads and eucalyptus drops are also pretty bomb.

It was between fizzy cola bottles and jazzies for me, because jazzies look like the German chocolates I always get around Christmas.
