No idea who buys it but these things are still out there in stores.

A fresh grab of Big League Chew hit the spot for a SOLID 10 minutes.

Nobody is repping that Iowa candy that looks like a calf dropping?

Twin bing.

Sorry @Angie , but Twizzlers > Red Vines.
Twizzlers are like crack for me. I can eat through a package of it way too quickly.

Speaking of Junior Mints, the mini York Peppermint Patties around Christmas are awesome.

Anything sour, particularly sour patch kids. In an unrelated note I had a root canal and a bunch of other dental work done over the last year so I don't eat as much candy as I used to.

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.

Trader Joe’s Red and Black licorice are both excellent.

I am also 100% good with Twizzlers! But the both of them can get terrible if they're stale.

It's probably the best compressed powdered sugar I have encountered.

"I think I remember those."

A good one that I know I remember was PB Max.

I love turtles or about any chocolate caramel nut kind of treat. Actually chocolate and nuts are good by themselves...caramel just makes it more yummy.

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

I read this in Kramer’s voice!
