Are they still making Necco Wafers? I remember something about the company going out of business recently. Its main draw as a candy is being one of the oldest vintage candy brands.

I normally like candy corn an okay amount, but not enough to finish a bag. I haven't liked any of the flavor-mixing candy corn, but I've only tried the chocolate ones, which are weird. I sure don't think that roasted turkey flavor, green bean flavor, or stuffing flavor are going to be any good.

I don't think I've ever come into proximity with circus peanuts. I'm not even sure if they're like a brand or like one of those weird generic legacy candies like cherry sours.

I've never come into contact with candy dots either. I heard some rumor at some point that they had some kind of date rape drug chemical? Weird stuff.

At least I know everyone here can come together and agree that Spree is a pointless candy that shouldn’t exist.

I like them. I like a lot of the candies that are just some fruit flavor and some citric acid, but they end up being really abrasive on my tongue and wreck it.

I don’t drink pepto bismol often. Last time I did was the other week for the first time in years, when I did the spicy peanut death nut challenge.

Short end of it is that I puked everything up. But chugging that pepto bismol before I had those spicy hot nuts in my mouth sure made it an easier process

Peas. Not even once.

When I was 6 my dad's 3rd wife tried to make me eat "just one more pea" after I told them I wasn't feeling well at dinner time. After some bullying, I did eat just one more pea and barfed all loving over the table.

That's my pea story.

I think that's because a lot of recreational drugs (particularly ecstasy and the like) tend to come on wax paper like those candy dots do. Chances are more likely someone thought roofies were delicious candy and then blamed a manufacturer; I can't even begin to imagine any sort of secret malicious confectioners' drug trade or anything, no matter how cool it would be.

I've had something that looked almost identical served to me by a wizened old half-Mongolian, half-Han Chinese man I worked with.

A few bites in, I asked what it was, despite my better judgment.

"Ahhhh, Mongolian ba-loun-ee. My dish. Very good."

"It is good. That's not bologna."

*frenzied Mandarin yelling between him and his equally wizened wife*

"No. Ba-loun-ee, same-same. Good, huh?"

"That is some delicious bologna, Miss Bettina."

No one else ever ate the shift meal at that place. More for me!

It did, but they sold the recipe to almost equally old candy company Spangler. The new regime Necco Wafers are slightly less stale-tasting, to be honest.

Aw, they're good! So are the Funyuns chips and the Cheetos chips. The Doritos and Cheetos ones were especially great for my kid, who loves both of the actual snacks, but can't have either of them for a couple more years until his braces are off (though technically Cheetos Puffs and Puffcorn are okay). The Cheetos ones were generously dusted with orange and delicious.

eta: I bought a bunch of weird-rear end flavored chips/snacks from Asia via Yamibuy, but I'm slow to get through them. The first one I tried was "American Roast Turkey" Cheetos. They were fine; turkeyish. Nothing to write home about. I still have cucumber Stax (I had had cucumber Lay's before and liked them very much); chestnut Stax; bayberry Lay's; and "Italian Red Meat" Lay's. :stare: Bolognese, I guess? We shall see. I'll report back.

Yeah Necco is no longer in business, which is sad because they also made these:
