…black licorice
Sue me
But like proper swedish black licorice / salmiak or jelly belly?
Proper!
Salty or no? If yes, are you from Finland?
Sometimes, sometimes not. It depends on the day.
And sadly no, I come from a less enlightened country. Nobody here likes black licorice it seems.
Crunchies. Kind of glad they aren’t sold in the US because the Hershey made Cadbury tastes like wax.
Zagnut bars.
Zagnuts are so good but I can only get them from the jar candy store
I have to order in bulk online. It ain’t right.
Where do you get yours from?
It’s been years, but I got mine from Amazon, when I still shopped there. I hate to boost their bottom line, there are bulk candy sites out there that are probably much more deserving of your money.
Necco wafers
If you’re serious, can I ask why? I’ve never met someone who likes them and I’m curious what it is about them that people like.
Personally I think it’s mostly nostalgia for me at this point. I liked them as a kid because we didn’t get candy too often, and I could make these last a long time. I’d usually split each disc int 4 peices and just suck on each quarter until it was gone before eating the next one.
I also like them. Their flavors are very unique compared to other candies, and the texture is too. It’s satisfying to crunch them, and the packaging+colors looks nice.
Do you suck on them or just like…crunch/chew? Do you eat more than one at once?
I was reading on their wiki page that they have gone through some formula changes, was it noticeable to you?
The formula change was before my time. I crunch every candy (except like, jawbreakers) so yeah crunch for these too. I do one at a time usually I think.
When I’d spend a summer week at my Grandma’s in the early '60s, my cousin would take me to Luke’s Store, where a dollar would buy a bag full of candies. Always included was a sleeve of Necco wafers.
I liked the flavors and would try to eat them slowly, but usually ended up crunching through them.
In 2018 when the Necco company went bankrupt, I was traveling a bit for work and would buy bags full wherever I found them. It was a relief when the Spangler company bought the brand and resumed production.
I didn’t know Satan was on Lemmy.
Chocolate dipped pretzels and gummie bears
Peppermints, as basic as that sounds. I could have one in my mouth 24/7
Hmmm maybe Girl Scout Thin Mints
I’m usually more of a savory guy. I’ll fucking eat all the sharp cheddar cheese and salty crackers
Candy Corn. Some people insist they taste like wax, and I’m like, “What?!” I will chew those things all day long.
I can eat a bag per year then I decide I’m done

Sour patch kids for me.
I’ve discovered that the temperature affects how good sour patch kids are way more than you’d expect. They’re best soft, in the summer.
I wouldn’t turn down any temperature, but you are SOOOOO right!
Mango ginger chews, these Polish pineapple ginger candies which are 1.39 a bag despite inflation, and dark chocolate covered dried mango. Absolutely wonderful.
Skittles
Norwegian caramel, Smørbukk
Anything Reeses.
Andes candy is great too.
Also cotton candy.
Those Reese’s eggs around easter are so good
They seriously have the best peanut butter to chocolate ratio. The regular Reese’s just have too much chocolate imo.
Got Reese’s and Andes in the freezer right now 👍
Nerds. If I ever buy a box of them, I’ve eaten them all by that night. They’re basically just flavored sugar clumps and I love them.
Do you love the nerds clusters?
Oh fuck yeah. Those things are delicious.
Take 5. It is a gridded pretzel with peanut butter, caramel, whole peanuts, and chocolate. If you love salty sweet and you like texture this candy is everything.
that was gonna be my answer. if they ever come out with a bagged unwrapped mini bites version it’s fuckin over for me
