I don't know what they're called but they were these suckers that were pink on the top and white on the bottom they looked like flying saucers and tasted like cardboard.

I used to buy those for a shekel from the generic candy vendors at the mall, they're made of this weird solidified soda and sugar mixture.

Candy corn and mallow pumpkins rule.

Sno-Caps are wonderful as well. They go best with some popcorn.

On Candy Corn:

quote:

Candy corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, confectioner's wax, artificial coloring and binders

Hmm, wax, sounds gross, but what is it?

quote:

Pharmaceutical glaze is an alcohol-based solution of various types of food-grade shellac.[1] The shellac is derived from the raw material sticklac, which is a resin scraped from the branches of trees left from when the small insect, Kerria lacca (also known as Laccifer lacca), creates a hard, waterproof cocoon.

Doesnt sound as nice when its called "pharmaceutical glaze"

It makes candy corn deliciously chewy I don't give a gently caress if it comes out of a bug's hole.

I love violet flavored candy. There's a grocery an hour South of me called Jungle Jim's, and they have a great international foods section. Every time I'm there I get several jars of French violet candy and it's practically give by the time I get home.

This wouldn't be in northern Cincinnati, would it? I used to live not far from there. I definitely regret not going to Jungle Jim's more often.

That's the one. It's really a must that you go. Even if you're not into cooking, the whole place is a spectacle.

Good & Plenty


Looks like pills; sadly only contains licorice, not release of death



Sno-Caps


Literally just chocolate chips with sprinkles. Not a goddamn shred of effort.



Krackel


The stale version of a Crunch bar. Why does this exist?



Circus Peanuts


I think this is something someone made by mistake



This


I don't know what this is. It tastes like a movie prop.




What haunted your Halloweens, reader?

These are literally all my favorite candies. gently caress you, OP.

Sno-caps are great, and were my go-to movie theater candy as a kid. You let the chip melt in your mouth, then crunch on the sprinkles.

I hate candy corn but I'm with you. I already use literal melted fat to flavor a third of the stuff I eat. Bug goop is really not that far down a stretch, especially after it's been processed to hell and back.

Red Vines are alright, but standard Twizzlers are like chewing Raggedy Ann's tendons-- it gives neither of you pleasure and you're left wondering what cruel god would allow such a thing.

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
these loving things right here. Living in Florida, somebody's grandma (mine included) would put out a bowl of these things only to have them all melt together into one giant blob in about 10 minutes. Even if you could break one off, they taste terrible.

I remember Barfo candy. No one bought it because it was good, they bought it because it was called Barfo. It was just super sweet flavored gel inside a little plastic accordion.
