The Candy You Always Eat.

[BodomBeachChild]

Pez. I fucking love Pez. Smarties rank a close second place but Pez forever win. Thrid place goes to Mr. Goodbar

 

[WarpedLord]

Cinnamon Bears... which, like Dots, must be properly "aged" by openening the package up a few days in advance to let them firm up so they don't stick to your teeth as badly.

I'm sad with the lack of snickers in here...

I know, right? *twitches*

OT: SNICKERS!!!!!
They are my life, in terms of candy bars! I have yet to meet a singe candy bar that would even begin to replace the awesomeness of Snickers!

Spoiler: SNICKERS!!!

Even Mr. T knows who's the king of candy bars!

...And, for the life of me, I never want Snickers to stop existing! EVER!!!! *twitches*
Excuse me for a bit... I'm going to get my daily weekly "normal" Snickers fix...

I'm going to be the smartass and say: "the closest one".

Mars bars are usually what I get though, jesus loving chirst Mars bars are made of heaven itself.

 

[Zakarath]

Reeses PB cups, definitely. Always the first things to go whenever I have a selection of candy at hand. Butterfingers are good too.

 

[Zakarath]

Double post, whoops. presumably because I was trying to get Captcha to let the Helix into its heart.

 

[JupiterBase]

Sorry guys but as a expert of all things sour the award goes to Warhead's. Toxic Waste is just a cheep knock off in my opinion.

You build a time machine right now and tell that to 12 year old me. Punk.

You think i wont do it! I totally will! I got 1/2 a time machine in my garage rite now. All i need is Pu-238 and twelve year old you gonna have his mind blown. Also alternate future you mite have radiation poisoning but you/he/have/will brought/bring this on himself/yourself!

 

[Lucius Ivanov]

If you ever find yourself in Romania or a shop that has merchandise from Romania, you should hunt these down!

Spoiler: Chocolate bars filled with rum cream

Now I feel the urge to eat one..

Was never that big a fan of butterfingers, but the bite-size Reese's cups (the best chocolateeanut butter ratio which offers just the right amount of resistance as you bite into it of all of the Reese's varieties) I will gobble down entire bags of without a second thought. Like, literally. I think at this point it's just a reflex. I honestly don't think about it until I realize I've eaten a good couple dozen or I have to start actively seeking them out to grab another.

For something which is good to occupy your mouth for a while (which isn't gum) I'd go with jolly ranchers. Good stuff those. Not a bad flavor of the bunch. Blueberry and/or watermelon have gotta be the top flavors though. Or maybe I'm mis-remembering; I haven't had any in like... 6 months or more and my memory kinda has just disappeared over the course of october to now.

These things are delicious. They have become increasingly hard to find for no good reason. After years of not seeing them anywhere, I gave up, but then I came across a local gas station that actually carries them, with new boxes pretty regularly.

HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN PICTURES OF THOSE THINGS IN LIKE 5 YEARS!

I really do wonder why they kinda dropped off the face of the earth. Those things were the shit! There used to be a vending machine in my middle school which had them by the gymnasium/auditorium and I'd have em fairly frequently.

My junior high vending machines had them as well by the gym and auditorium I used to try and grab a pack on my way out. However that didn't last long as, like many schools, they were forced to take them away. ._.

You can still find them, but at least here in PA, they've been becoming more rare every year. I find it hard to believe there's a lack of demand for them, as a simple google search will show people trying to buy them in bulk.

The maker's name is Werther.

No, Werther is the place they come from. My problem is that in German there is no apostrophe there.

No, Werther is the place they come from. My problem is that in German there is no apostrophe there.

In English, there are two ways to denote belonging: "Werther candy" (candy made in Werther) and "Werther's candy" (candy previously belonging to/purchased from Werther).

The grammar is sound.

German grammar is probably different, soooo...

Yes, I know how the grammar works in English... And German grammar IS different. In German there is no apostrophe there. So the German candy from the German town of Werther from a German company sold in Germany with German on the package having that apostrophe inserted there when it was originally named "Werthers Echte" rubs me the wrong way.

I'm not sure what is so hard to grasp about that.

Because you're literally the first person I've met in my entire life who can get irritated by correct translation?

If I could id eat York

I don't believe I'm the first person you've ever met who gets irritated by completely unnecessary and gratuitous English in their own language.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Skittles.

Skittles.

I spend at least £20 every week on skittles, and the shop that I live next to constantly has sales in the candy isle (general sales, like three packs for the price of two, or stuff like that). I'm starting to stop, now. I suddenly realised that if you take your time eating them they taste kind of like pee (decidedly not a favourite confection).

Also, anything produced by Barr (yes, two "R"s) [http://www.agbarr.co.uk/ces_general.nsf/wpg/welcome_page.aspx]. Their Cola tastes better than Coke. Their most famous drink, Irn-Bru, on the other hands, butchers both language and tongues.

No... no, you really are.

You literally are the first and only person I've met who expresses displeasure at "Werther's Echte" and its ilk.

When gratuitous other languages end up in my English labels, I and others find it charming/hilarious, never aggravating.
