Now that Halloween is over, you probably have some loose candy laying around, or if not you at probably least have some candy opinions, so vent about em here.


Everlasting Gobstoppers: 2/10
What the gently caress even are these things? They're basically just rocks. Even when you finally crunch em there's no fuckin flavor at all, gently caress these things.

Charleston Chew: 5/10
Fine. Whatever. It's like the candy equivalent of ocean sounds playing in the background.

Yorks Peppermint Patty: 7/10
Pretty dece. Refreshing. Can't eat a lot of em tho.

Jelly Belly jelly beans: 9/10
Idk who gave these things out to my kid but God Bless You.

100 Grand: 9/10
Crispy, chewy, super good. Point deducted for cravenly bending to public opinion and changing the name from 100,000.

Krackle: 7/10
Its good but if I have a choice I'm gonna go for the 100k bar every time. No caramel? Why isn't there caramel?

Botan Rice Candy: 7/10
Would be 5/10 but YOU CAN EAT THE WRAPPER!! Its made of rice paper!! So cool!

please do not place 100grand on the same tier as crunch/krackle, it is insulting to 100grand

there's no caramel. that's a simple fact of the real world that you can't just pretend doesnt exist. 100,000 is simply superior.

insane candy bar for weirdos. soft chocolate flavored toffee with chopped peanuts densely saturating it. and yet- incredibly satisfying. -1 point for no fun-sized offering
