I kind of miss the days when you could just get caramel flavor stuff and it didn't have to be all salty. I love salty food too but when I do have sweet stuff I guess I want it to be just sweet most of the time? Everyone talks about salted caramel like it's the best thing. I don't hate it and I'll usually still eat it it's just I'll usually pick something else given a choice.

I still have to send constituent consumer complaints to Werther's because I have to carry around a bug-a-salt and unwrap a handful and blast my palm to make them edible.

Yeah like imagine an old seaman who has been making caramels his whole life, and he finally finds the perfect balance of under salted caramels and adding the salt at the end. He has like, the recipe, you know? And he sells his house and drives to the coast in a beat up old car, running on fumes when he gets there, pulling up at a taffy store. Walks up to the lady at the counter, says "hey you have nice palms" and she looks at the trees and he shakes his head, "no, THOSE palms" and when she turns her hands over he slips in a salted caramel. Was it worth it, was this lifetime worth it? Yes, she orders a thousand. A thousand caramels.

i've never been a fan of caramel in general. it's fine. i dont hate it, but i'd never pick it. like the ol cheapo mcdonalds sundae, Hot fudge >>>>>> caramel any day of the week. if i ordered cheesecake and it normally would come with a caramel drizzle i'd request it without. it just doesn't add anything for me. just tastes like sugar. i like me a snickers bar just fine, but the caramel is almost an afterthought in there.

Caramel is better when it's runny instead of the taffy consistency
