Albanese gummy bears are pretty high quality bears.

For an every day thing you can find anywhere, surprisingly just the regular LifeSaver gummies are pretty alright. I'm sure there's better stuff out there but I can't recall any off the top of my head that are like "Oh yeah wow" right now.

I'll tell you the WORST gummy candy: Those blue sharks with the opaque white backs.

They taste like some kind of weird, sickly gummed up fake vanilla frosting or something, they're just absolutely gross and I don't understand why the scientists keep making them

How much vodka could one absorb, and would you serve it like a sheet cake?

I don't think it would absorb any. If anything it'd melt into the vodka so you'd have lovely gummy worm flavored vodka.

If you did this with, say sourpatch kids or something of better quality, that'd probably be good.

Swedish fish for sure. They're one of few candies I like outside of dark chocolate and black licorice. I don't really go for sugary stuff much

Do you like salted black licorice?

I've had one variety that was fantastic, and ordered a different kind maybe a year/two ago and it almost killed me. It was pure salt and what tasted like ammonia. The LIGHTLY salted kind was pretty flippin good, however. I've been leery of attempting to find more since 'the incident' however.

gently caress you guys y'all are ruining my carefully planned diet with this thread

I mean, they're empty calories I guess, but pretty much universally gummy candy is fat free across the board.

I haven't bought any for awhile but theres an aussie brand that you can find stateside that I used to buy once in awhile. haven't tried the salted variety

Wiley Wallaby is the most common australian brand that I've seen in the states but never seen a salted version.

Their normal black version is fairly good

Try it. They go gummi in your mouth, not in your hands.

I myself will be cold and buried deep in this dead gay earth before I refrigerate a single gumm'ed candy.

...now if you want to talk about putting snickers, kitkats, or charleston chew candy bars into the freezer for a few hours before eating them, then we can have a happy truce.

I mentioned them earlier and the thread stayed silent on the matter, so my guess is that liking them is a Downton Abbey style faux pas where everyone is mortified we even brought them up in polite company, but I don’t care; I’m going to gently caress that gummi and move to Ireland with it.

They don't make them in the states.

When we go to Canada to visit my in-laws my wife picks them up.

I've found them extremely underwhelming and bland, with poor texture.

I will destroy any bag of allsorts within 500' of me. I LOVE ALLSORTS.

Same, but that pile looks pretty shabby. The australian ones they sell here in the states are friggin great however drat I could hold up a walgreens just to knock over an end stand of those bad boys and then take off into the night and flee across state lines in a stolen 98 Camry as 'End of the Line' by the Traveling Wilburys plays out of the 3 working speakers. Later I'll stop at a motel 6 and eat all the bags and pass out while crying, and assume the cops are still onto me, stagger out back to look for a new car to steal and fall into the river.

drat those are good licorice candies.

Yeah, and he's losing 48-0 at the half.

In spite of many non-US posters believing America is a blasted hellscape of nothingness, today in my northern, midwestern bleak existance I purchased 3 different types of puchao brand gummy candy right at my local grocery store *gasp*

...they're alright. Interesting flavors but not like, shockingly good.
