Sometimes a person simply needs a big ol' box of jujyfruit to chew on.

I'm also a big fan of gummy fish but only the good ones you get from the bulk foods aisle, most of the time the pre-packaged ones get sticky and moist (and never those little red 'swedish fish' things).

lotte chewy milk candy: sounds weird and gross, but tastes weird and good. contains beef. 8/10

what the heck are these? i found a couple in a jacket pocket, probably got them from work at some point. p good, fruity hard candy of some sort. 7/10


fav recent find: trader joes sour sea shapes. can smash the whole bag in one sitting if not careful. their black licorice chews are p good too. both 10/10

dishonorable mention: any hershey-process chocolate. i used to like it, but then someone mentioned that it tastes like puke and now i taste that everytime. improved by leaving in the freezer for a week. 2/10

i think they can be discussed and rated in a general sense, at least against each other rather than compared to standardized candies

butterscotch noodle things

gently caress yes. buckeyes were a staple growing up. i hadnt had the noodle things until my sister basically decided "oh hi im an expert baker now" and made them (along with actually hard stuff) and i was retroactively mad that they werent part of my childhood.

so my sister in law is a cordon bleu trained chef, owned a pastry bakery for years, is currently a professional pastry chef, etc etc etc. she bakes all day every day. my sister runs a painting business. im quite certain that the former has like 10x the throughput of the latter, but when it comes to quality of an individual item theyre about equal which is _fucking insane_ to my mind

hmm, indeed it might be. its been a while since i ate the other one (and i haven't eaten this one yet), but "a little tart but mostly sweet, fruity" sounds about right. i like tamarind and i liked this, but im havig trouble recalling the actual flavor
