Friday OT - How Sweet It Is

[Gonzo]

I've always been a Heath and Skor fan, then my daughter introduced me to this gem that she discovered in Norway and it was game over...

My tastes have changed a lot over the years. My current favorites are:

Peanut M&Ms
Orange or Cherry Slices
Peanut Butter M&Ms
Black Licorice
Almond Joy

In my mind you look EXACTLY like your avatar and that makes a conversation about candy addiction much more entertaining to me.

I love it!! Mabel from Gravity Falls is sort of my cartoon alter-ego.

Butterfinger is another one that is great when fresh, but it severely drops in the ranks when it gets older.

What is your favorite kind/brand of candy? Sour, chocolate, fruity? Are you faithful to one type?

I am super mood-oriented with sweets.

My all-time favorite is a vanilla Bun. You can't get Buns just anywhere, however. You can order them through Amazon, but I wouldn't suggest doing it in the summer, because they'll melt in the truck. For those who don't know, a Bun is kind of like a chocolate peanut cluster with a vanilla filling. They also come with a maple filling, but the vanilla ones are my favorite.

Not a huge fan of sweets but Sour Scandinavian Swimmers and Tony's Chocolonley with Caramel and Sea Salt hit the spot when I'm craving sweet...

I don’t eat a lot of candy but freeze dried sour skittles are amazing. Peanut M&Ms and Junior Mints are my go to movie candy.

well, who is gonna turn down a junior mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint, it's delicious!

Just one rule to eating junior mints, don’t eat them while watching an operation.

...also has life saving medicinal value for staving off infections.

Discontinued years ago and I've never been the same since.

Not a huge sweets fan but as a kid, Chocolate Charleston Chew. Ironically we go to Charleston, SC every year for vacation.

I have a tremendous peanut butter/chocolate addiction. Has anyone else had the Reeses Crunch candy bar? I am physically incapable of entering a Casey's without purchasing at least 1 if they have them.

In the non PB category Twin Bing must be mentioned. A true Iowa classic!

Everyone in our family likes the chocolate oranges, get them every year at Christmas.

I see black licorice as proof that the days of the past were bleak as ****. I can only imagine how ****** your life would have to be, to consider black licorice a "treat" and not some horrible punishment for not shoveling enough coal into the blast furnace at the factory you're forced to work at, because your father died from cholera, the previous winter.

 

[NWICY]

Any type of chocolate bar usually works for me.

I used to eat these once in a while as a kid but haven't seen them for years. Anyone else remember these?

Did anyone get basically addicted to these as a kid?
