I don't know if I've just pickier with age, but most "essences" taste terrible and chemical to me. I mean, I don't like most flavored seltzers because they use "essences," and prefer Spindrift, San Pellegrino, or making my own flavored seltzer using juice.

This spills over into chocolate, where things like chocolate oranges just don't taste very good to me anymore.

I'm still okay with lavender, rose, and some other other floral flavors, but I'm not sure if they are the same kind of "essence" as what's in most seltzers and chocolate things.

Ralph's/Kroger has the best flavored sparkling waters I've found, partially because they actually have flavor, rather than stuff like Lacroix where it's carbonated water that had some fruit fart in the same room it was being bottled in

Yeah, the blackcurrant and pomegranate one is really good, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere anymore probably because Americans don't know what blackcurrant is.

if you have a whole foods where you are check there, that's the only place i can find the things. i'm an American and i love blackcurrant, but i only learned about it by talking with uk internet weirdos who would make mixed drinks with it.

apparently blackcurrant plants can harbor a disease that kills pine trees so i guess the timber industry lobbied to have them banned from the country? i don't think they're illegal anymore but you can't sell or market the things because no one knows what a blackcurrant is.

Purple is grape, but it's not wine and it's emulating a cultivar of grape that isn't really found in Europe so Europeans get really angry about it.

All candies are evolving toward the twin black holes of flavor: Green Apple and Blue Raspberry

Seriously what the gently caress. Are those two flavors just really cheap to produce or something

we used to have lime flavor. for reasons that are as of yet unclear to me years ago there was a general Great Purge of almost all lime flavor candy.

green apple was the replacement. yeeccch.

there was a disease that wiped out much of the lime plantations in florida and then mexican cartels tried to corner the rest of the market and the artificial producers failed to scale up production in preparation so the price of the artificial poo poo went way up too

I remember when I was a kid, green apple kinda just exploded into the candy market all at once. Like it was the new airheads mystery flavor, and then Shrek came along and everyone wanted to make their thing green.

It's that fuckin blue raspberry that drives me crazy. It's goddamn everywhere, and even in an assortment it's always way overrepresented.

It doesn't taste like anything in nature, least of all raspberries

Blue raspberry is weirdly enough based on Rubus leucodermis, which really does taste like that.

Blue raspberry is my favorite normal flavor of candy and I have had multiple people tell me I'm a bad person for it. I don't get it, why don't you guys like the best flavor?

Agreed, only reason I don't eat them more often is 1) how long they take to eat, and two like most hard candies of their nature(like say Jolly Ranchers) they destroy your mouth a lot of the time cause they get those sharp little edges and pockets from you sucking on them
