Lemme know. I definitely prefer candy over all. Nerds in particular.

You ever get down with a Take 5?
The best chocolate bar I've ever had was dark chocolate with Aleppo pepper and pink peppercorn from some bougie chocolate shop. It was sharp and spicy and floral and so fucking decadent, I'll be thinking about it for the rest of my life
-
Gummy candies. Specifically Haribo.

Dark chocolate with some red wine, I’m a bougie black chick when it comes to sweets.

Once by accident. I think it must have been stale because it was weirdly chewy.
-
I'm fucked when it comes to sugar. I gave up everything else basically live straight edge but lollies and soda always creep back in. Don't know about elsewhere but in Aus they bring out a new product every other week to make sure you keep coming back just to try.
Right now I'm enjoying lifesavers snakes (guess what Americanos call gummies) and the caramel kit kat chunky. Fry's Turkish delight, Cadbury boost, m&ms,sour patch kids red and purple licorice are always sneaking their way into my house too tho
-
All chocolates. But some candy is cool too. I used to be friends with a girl that would bring me Quality Street tins back from England. I do love Reese's as well. 3 Musketeers too.
Do donuts count in this thread? A chocolate donut and coffee eh? The athlete's meal.
-
Sour patch kiddos.
-
Hot take but my favorite is fruit. It’s citrus season rn so the oranges are so good. No sugar stomach ache from eating too much
-
I just went through a box of Welch’s fruit snacks in two days, after not eating them for years I forgot how good they were.
Also shoutout Starmix satisfies every Haribo craving at once.
-
Im a sucker for anything chocolate, especially if it’s dark chocolate. Gummy candies are a very close second tho.
-
I love all of it. Lately I've been getting into those sour patch kids, but mostly it's chocolate. Ice cream is king though.
-
Sour and gummy candy, some of the less common ones are the best to me.

Purple and yellow sour keys
Haribo gummy bears
and more specifically whatever these purple things are in the middle of this picture of one of their candy mixes

I wish I could find a bag of just those in that flavour... I think it's like a sour black current crocodile maybe? I dunno but they're damn good
-
I'm way too into the sour candy but haribo eaters are on another level. Everytime I have it I just feel like I ate a bag of plastic. Worst thing for me is they started making these bigger packs of sour patch kids so of course at first it's like oh that's good value I'll get one of those instead of two regular packs and it will last a while then of course I just now eat the big packs like I would the smaller ones
-
Sour gummies. Or chocolate. Or ice cream. Obviously pralines if I feel fancy.

Fam, I don’t know the last time you had some fruit gushers but those are still crack. Doesn’t matter how old I get fruit gushers and fruit rollups will still be elite
You know what’s very underrated? 100 Grand bars, nobody buys them but me but they’re a big fucking chunk of caramel on a little snickers nougat bottom covered in dark chocolate. Amazing
Most overrated is Snickers, those things don’t deserve to be most popular
Also almond joys are incredible

Team Haribo for the win.
But I agree with @Candied cigarettes fresh in season fruit rules.

Never expected to see Greyson Fletcher in this thread but those are some solid points.
Fresh fruit is also a great call, I always try to pick a bunch of raspberries and blackberries during the summer

I remember this as part of being a kid in Louisiana. We'd go out and find all the blackberries we could so we could be rewarded with delicious blackberry cobbler. So good.

anything chocolate based first and foremost. ice cream in general is my go-to tho. i think hard or gelatin based candies are fucking awful.
p.s. whoever the first person to salt chocolate was needs the highest honored award there is.

A little bit of salt makes such a difference, it adds so much depth to a chocolate bar

havent owned a box/bag of these in years but got DAMN they good

I know i shouldn’t, but these are so addicting. the gas station by my house constantly has to restock them because of me…

Gushers would be my go to but the goo fucks with my teeth. Definitely delicious but I can’t eat em consistently.
Also do any other weirdos eat orange slices? Not the fruit but the sugar covered old people candy.

I’d fuck wit em…..I like licorice allsorts too which are gross….Cherry Blossom is nasty too but I’d eat it.
To me the weirdest shit is Turkish delight or big Turk….it’s like a red jujube dipped in dark chocolate…who asked for that?

Oh man those are all my most hated candies.
By Turkish delight you mean the Fry's Turkish delight chocolate bar thing? Similar to the Big Turk I'm guessing. Those are terrible. True Turkish delight from a nice confectionery shop are pretty good though. Especially lemon ones made with real citrus as opposed to an extract or artificial flavour.

Fry's Turkish delight rules lol. It's not dark chocolate I think even tho it's labelled as Fry's it's actually Cadbury. They do all kinda taste like shaving cream or some kind of soap or something tho.
Other end of the scale in that group would be the crunchie/violet crumble which I will say tastes good but I hate the texture and having that shit stuck in my teeth after
-
I like those sour cola bottles but for chocolate Cadbury makes this shit called marvellous creations and it’s a block of chocolate with gummies and pop rocks embedded in there
Also rocky road, coconut rough and violet crumble

Did anyone else get candy cigarettes from the ice cream man? Do ice cream trucks still sell them?
I feel old just typing that… it seems like something they’d sell to kids 100 years ago, but it was pretty commonplace in the 90’s-00’s.
Of course it never occurs to you when you’re 8 that you’re being indoctrinated into a disgusting habit.

It's funny how both of the products you describe are basically attempts at gateway tabacco addiction conditioning. I only remember Popeye candy cigarettes and some other weird chocolate cigarettes that would be trying to look like Camel cigarettes or some type of middle Eastern thing. Usually sold at suspect corner stores who's entite magazine top rack was pornography. Seems strange to me for an icecream truck to sell such a thing but I'm only 36 and have always lived in liberal parts of west coast Canada.
Big league chew will always exist in its own grey area while I can't imagine any iteration of candy cigarettes still existing in our modern world with how demonized cigarette smoking is these days. I'm not sure how it is in the rest of the world but cigarettes basically don't exist here unless you know to ask for them. I don't ever see any advertising and they're all kept in drawers so you can't see them at convenience stores and supermarkets. I'm not sure about smoke shop type stores but I was in one fairly recently and only recall seeing vape garbage and cigars on full display. The last time I bought someone a pack of smokes they were almost $20 for a "good" brand.

In Australia we still have 'Fads' which were called 'Fags' until 1995 which was slang for cigarettes. They had a red tip on them to resemble a lit cigarette. They no longer have the red tip but still come in a cigarette shaped box.
We also still have 'Big Boss' which were like a mafia themed 'candy cigar'. Now instead of it being the mafia boss man's cigars it's his dynamite.

Maybe I'm misremembering but I think there was an older packet that was just a red box that said fags on it. Like what the kids are running towards on the graphic
Also on the topic of problematic candy Aus also had redskins which were just like a 4x.5 inch rectangle of red candy with a native American on the label. They were good tho and usually only 10c.

Just gotta rant here. It is a well known fact that blue raspberry is by far the worst fruit flavor candy. I love jolly rancher overall and their spinoff products are on point. Untill recently. I got a bag of JR sour gummies and half the fucking bag was blue raspberry! WTF are they thinking?

I appreciate blue raspberry as a flavor as it signifies the time that we live in. What I mean by that, is our food supply is so profoundly different from what humans experienced for all of humanities existence that we have these lab-created concoctions. Walking the supermarket aisles in the US recently, I noticed Golden Grahams cereal had a noticeable label that said "NOW MADE WITH REAL HONEY." Like, wtf? What were you putting in there before? Go to the dollar store and see some real wild stuff... trying to buy a breakfast bar type of thing and it says "flavor inspired by blueberry." If humanity continues after this year, this period of history we are living in is going to look REAL WEIRD to folks in the future.

It's as basic as it gets red and blue are the two top flavours for candy but combine red and blue and you get purple the absolute best candy flavour possible. It's basic science. Purple is so good you will risk trying one of those awful black candies just to see if they might be purple

I'm not huge on wine gums but that is the main reason I tried the dark-coloured one despite hating black licorice flavour more than anything in the world.
-
Winegums have a flavor like you can’t decide if you like them or not and have no frame of reference in the candy world to decide if it’s good or not but you eat every one because it’s weirdly addicting and you are trying to figure out what they taste like
Blue raspberry is delicious you guys are crazy

I've been getting these at the gas station, very mild sour but the flavors are smackin.

I like those Flavor Sticks I think they are called
It's like 3 flavors of Kool aid mix and a white candy dipping stick. Comes in a long package of linked individual flavor packets.
When I was a kid it was always Dinosour Eggs and Gobstoppers. The big ones that came in two packs.
I miss those so badly. Stupid things probably got banned or some shit.

Sounds like you're talking about Fun Dip.
I remember my dad bought me a pack once at a circus in Mexico. Pretty sure the vendor was in a half-man half-woman costume to boot. Kinda freaked me out I was pretty young lol...
I love this thread. From hearing about people's weird regional treats to just thinking about all the candy I loved as a child/still enjoy. I don't indulge much anymore but every now and then I still fuck with some sour keys or gummy bears.

I eat a 6oz container of raspberries or blackberries every other day. Sometimes daily.
Twix are my jam, though.
