For me it would be candy corn, or dots.
Rock candy.
Whoppers are great! I don’t understand the hate.
White chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Mounds/Almond Joy. Yuck. Always threw those out as a kid (well OK probably gave them to my mother).
Stock cubes
Joke’s on you, I loved munching on those as a kid, they’re basically savory candy!
My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.
(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)
Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.
Whoppers never make it to the bowl on my house. They’re too good.
How about circus peanuts?
The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.
The second bite tastes like accepting your fate.
Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.
Same. The instant it touches my tongue I’m transported back to being a kid and my grandmother thinking these were amazing treats and giving them out to us and then getting really upset if we didn’t finish them.
And then I remember I have to actually eat the rest of it. So I finish off the first one and then I see the tiny little 59 cent bag that’s only got four more of them in it and I feel like it would be a waste of my money and my effort in acquiring the circus peanuts and so I force myself to eat the rest of the bag and then vow to never eat them again.
Until I forget and get another bag.

I was going to say black licorice
Can I get some? Please?
If you’re reading this and have never tried this, get some, it’s a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.
Yep, I’m a big fan. It’s definitely an acquired taste, though.
Some of that is amazing.
If you ever see a Pantteri Mix bag, pick one up.
Some or most salty licorice is pretty shit tho imo
It is definetly an acquired taste
Sure, yeah.
Some are more…“beginner friendly”, as it were. But if you get some proper salty licorice from the pharmacy (and our pharmacies aren’t like US pharmacies where they sell everything like a grocery store), that’s definitely an acquired sensation.
I say sensation, because it’s honestly more about sensation than taste. Kinda like chili in food. (Although ofc chilis have taste as well. Habaneros are very different from Scotch Bonnets etc.)
Sensation, because it’s ammonium chloride that’s in there.
I got introduced to the DZ ones by a dutch friend. At first it was wow OK, not what I expected from liquorice, but the grow on you.
Whoppers are 95% great. It’s that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.
Are you taking about those weird chewy ones? Because those are my favorites.
I found my people here.
Yea, the periodic weird one really makes it an exciting gamble.
What are whoppers?
They’re like Maltesers
Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.
I leik whoppers
I leik em too.
Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech
A bad one?
Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat
Bouillon Cubes
Me knew it was a bouillon spoon
Airheads.
They taste like I imagine flavored window caulking would.
M&M’s, Reese’s, skittles
All in the same bowl
WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS SLANDER
