I might be more on my own with this, but I don't understand how people eat these goddamn things:



Maraschino cherries in general are vomit-worthy, but slapping cheap chocolate and some sugary spooge into the mix just makes it all worse.

I love that flavor but goddamn the texture and smell and flavor of circus penuts is hell

okay my hypothesis about the banana flavor is wrong.

i don't know why i like circus peanuts. they have always seemed like, perhaps the perfect candy to me. they send me into raptures.

i almost never eat them. no interest in searching them out. but whenever they fall into my hands i am in heaven.

I keep getting tricked into eating these things and everytime it's bad

you pop one in your mouth and that dismal calliope "Doot doot dootin doota doo doo doo" music starts playing in your head while the overripe banana ester flavor pours out of every hole in your head and it's like ugghhhhh


I'm too dumb to stop though

this probably explains why i like them so much

Artificial banana flavoring is based off of the Gros Michel variety of bananas, which were basically wiped out by a blight in the 1950's.

a general law of candynomics states that blue candies will always taste the best of thei rrespective candy color group

this law like any law has certain special exceptions but scientists are not sure what dictates these exceptions

Grape flavor tastes like concord grapes. The first time i had a concord grape was a lightbulb moment.

this is correct

"grape" is still the worst candy flavor, far worse than green apple for whoever the gently caress said that

Peanut Chews are a good somewhat obscure candy, in fact probably the best of all somewhat obscure candies
