I like green apple and blue raspberry, mostly because I crave sour candy. Basically if you give me candy/beverages with tons of citric acid I'm gonna like it, no matter what it tastes like otherwise.

Elviscat posted:I like green apple and blue raspberry, mostly because I crave sour candy. Absolutely same, but I feel there are flavors where I will eat it because it’s sour and then there are flavors where I will eat it and all of yours because it’s sour AND a good complimentary sour flavor. Case in point being the jelly belly Sours mix. Those five sour flavors work extremely well together, and you can grab two at random and they will be great as a hybrid mouthful. They’re “classic” sour flavors like cherry and grape and orange and yes, sour apple. It’s like they were developed to be good on their own and also to be good blended arbitrarily with each other. However, a while ago they also came out with their Ten Flavors Sours mix, which has new ones like blueberry and blackberry and peach which, while good individually, are really gross in combination, not to mention very distinctive and sour in a not-so-classically-appealing way. I had a bag of it at a movie and grabbing two of them at a time in the dark was a very disappointing and distracting experience Fortunately they went back to the Five Flavor Sours shortly afterwards and crisis was averted. But I’ve got my eye on them

Lol who else remembers that this was literally a thing that existed  There's a disclaimer on it saying "your teeth and gums might feel a tingling sensation, this is normal" and "rinse well and then brush your teeth with actual toothpaste". YES BECAuSE IT IS LITERALLY EATING YOUR ENAMEL JESUS CHRIST My teeth were ruined from an early age due to my obsessively seeking sour, and when I discovered this poo poo years later it was like reading one of those stories about some Russian hunters who found a strange glowing metal cylinder in the snowy woods and camped on top of it because it was nice and warm

On the topic of sour candy, there was this one kind of sour powdered candy called Raven's Revenge that was a favorite of my older brother back in the 90's, shame that it seems to be long out of production, would probably appreciate it better as an adult

Lime is already citrus. It's perfect for sour candy. At least Lemon is still a pretty common flavor. Though really, War Heads should have taught us that any flavor is good sour.

Lemon is probably why Lime has mostly disappeared from candy, they probably figure the two flavors are too close Also while most other Lime candy I've had has been fine, Lime Dots are gross, they have this harsh weird chemical taste that the other flavors don't have

The best fruity candies are always the citrus ones. Eat the other ones first and then eat the orange/lemon/lime ones.

It's only tangentially related to the toothpaste talk but i remember back in like 2006 or so there were actual citrus flavored toothpastes, like lemon and orange and whatnot. Not gonna lie, I miss them a lot, because man I hate mint so much. Just, any and all varieties, haven't found one that sits right with me yet.

Since I guess we're talking about things we can't get now, I really, really crave the Newfoundland Jam Jam cookies. They're a soft molasses cookie with either an apple-raspberry jam or a partridgeberry apple jam in the middle depending on the recipe, I can't seem to find the ingredients on the actual website. They are so loving good and soft. Also I was introduced to clotted cream there and it still sounds disgusting but on my ex's grandmother's rum cake it was loving fabulous. They lit it on fire before we sliced and ate it and it's still the best cake I've ever had. Wine gums. I sometimes hit up the international aisle just to buy overpriced wine gums.

I don't have a lot to add to candy chat other than, as a kid, I was sorely disappointed when I had Bottle Caps candy for the first time, and they did not fizz in my mouth like I assumed an Alka-Seltzer tablet would (based on all the daytime TV I watched), despite the packaging having bubbles all over it.

Same. God I felt stupid I think there was an actual candy that was supposed to fizz, it came in a strip of like 10 square segments encapsulated in compartments of plastic. I think I only saw it at roller skating rinks and such, and always imagined them to be sour and incredible

When I worked at Tilt in high school I considered the prize candies to be part of my pay and I motored through three 100 count cases of them in weeks. $6.21 an hour + all you can eat candy to play Skee-ball all day (and clean up so, so much vomit). There's also Super Soda candy that's amazing as well. Those are exactly what you thought Bottle Caps would be.

I feel like you really need the duller sweetness of the sticks to refresh your tongue between powder licking. Maybe even the smoother texture of them as well because licking powder sometimes fucks up your tongue from all the extra friction. Like with a baby bottle pop you don't get as much of a respite and all that powder on the lollipop portion is stuck in place so it's much more abrasive.

I always assumed the sticks were made out of "Lik-M-Aid" because that's what they say on them My brother and I always used "Lik-M-Aid" as a metonym for "something that seems like it would be awesome but is really just sort of eehhhh, especially compared to whatever it's competing with" Apparently that was the original name for Fun Dip itself

The best part of Lik-M-Aid was spilling all the powder on your sweaty yellow softball uniform to create a fabulous artsy looking tie dye mess. The second best part was the weird chalk stick that eventually lead to a candy cigarette addiction that spread into a Camel Turkish Gold addiction.
