Title: Favorite Candy Post by: Mr. DS on May 14, 2007, 07:02:39 PM Whats everyone's favorite candy? I love a lot of the Wonka stuff like Runts and Nerds. Also like Sprees, Gummi Worms, Sour Patch Kids and so on.
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 07:36:18 PM 5. Sour Patch Kids
4. Reeces Peanut butter cups 3. Felix Gum 2. Milk Duds 1. Heath Bars Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Snivelly on May 14, 2007, 08:00:13 PM Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, and chocolate. I also like chocolate-covered chocolate dipped in chocolate and topped with chocolate shavings.
Also, Jolly Ranchers, Lemonheads, and anything caramel. Oh, and I like chocolate too. :teddyr: Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: ulthar on May 14, 2007, 08:17:21 PM Don't eat a lot of candy any more (dang diet), but ...
My favorite candy bar was Hershey's Bar None. Can't seem to find it any more anyway. At the movies, my favorite candy was always Goobers. Chocolate and peanuts - does not get much better than that. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Zapranoth on May 14, 2007, 08:27:02 PM Don't have A favorite.
But I like tootsie rolls, twizzlers, junior mints, and most of the regular type candy bars. But I don't like those horrible Skor bars. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 09:05:03 PM here ya go candy lovers (and they don't just sell candy)
http://www.hometownfavorites.com/shop/candy_store.asp (http://www.hometownfavorites.com/shop/candy_store.asp) Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Shadow on May 14, 2007, 09:10:25 PM In no particular order:
1. Skittles. I always have a big mug full of these within easy reach right next to my monitor. 2. Lemonheads 3. Reesesticks wafer bars 4. Red Licorice Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 09:27:14 PM ohhhh me too, i wanna add strawberry liquorish even though i can't spell it. And i'm such a nerd who plays with my food i'll even bite the ends off and put it in my soda and drink through it like a straw - i dunk suckers in my soda too. sigh, i need serious help
PIXIE STICKS! and has anyone had one of the giant ones? someone bought me that for halloween and i nearly cried Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Shadow on May 14, 2007, 09:58:14 PM I do the same things with licorice (using them as straws). I also get the long ropes and wrap them around my neck when I sit at the computer or while watching TV. I'll put one end in my mouth and just eat until I've pulled in the entire thing.
I have not had Pixie Stix in over 20 years. I think I'm still coming down from the sugar high the last one gave me. :teddyr: Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Allhallowsday on May 14, 2007, 10:05:59 PM "Bad" diet should go with "bad movies,"no? Chocolate in its myriad varieties is always good . . . I also like HEATH BARS to a fault, they're my favorite, also hate SKOR (they're so tacky) am seriously fond of JUJYFRUITS and DOTS; FERRO ROCHER is great and BUTTERFINGER or CLARK bars are pretty hard to resist.

I can top you in playing with food. Go to walgreens or something this weekend, treat yourself to a bag and relive the memories. Ahh..nothing like a straw full of sugar Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 10:13:03 PM I love heath bars so much i suck off the chocolate before eating the toffee. :teddyr:
btw if you love toffee try Dreyers Toffee Crunch ice cream. It's a large version of the pint sized dreamery that i can no longer find. It's caramel flavored ice cream with toffee chunks and swirls of caramel. if someone asks me the 'stranded on a deserted island' question you can bet this is gonna top my list along with a solar powered freezer Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Ash on May 14, 2007, 10:15:31 PM But I don't like those horrible Skor bars. Heh! I have a Skor bar sitting on my desk right now. Think I'll eat it. :smile: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've never been a licorice fan. Can't stand the texture of it for some reason. I'm a gum freak. I must have a pack of gum at all times and I usually keep a couple of packs of Wigley's Extra in my car too. I also like Life Savers...those things are so good and they're only like 50 cents per pack. Remember Lick M Aid? Now it's called Fun Dip. I had some of that the other day and it was great! Haven't had that in years. (http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/4779/2112ky4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) And Susan, I had a Pixie Stick that was like 3-4 feet long and made of plastic. Took my 2 days to finish it. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 10:27:38 PM Ash-
Life savers used to make the best suckers, not anymore. The ones i see have changed, but they used to have large whitish suckers with swirls of color. now they look like a life saver on a stick and don't taste nearly as creamy and good. Gum - The best gum in the world is FELIX GUM. This is coming from a former gum freak who would stand by this and my love of Hubba Bubba. I don't know if it's even made anymore but we got it overseas in the 70's . Whenever someones mom went to Hong Kong we would beg and fork over money for this gum. My bro sent me an envelope a few years ago with felix drawn on it and "Guess what's inside?" It is THE most coveted gum by ..well by me. Because it stays soft FOREVER, and never loses it's flavor. The elasticity is amazing..it's probably made of whale blubber like some gums from the day used to be but omg. (http://suckerpunched.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/felixgum.gif) so if anybody happens to be going to japan, i'll give you money. and my firstborn... Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Torgo on May 14, 2007, 10:28:21 PM I don't eat that much candy anymore (trying to watch the ol' wasteline :teddyr: ) but I've always liked Heather Bars, Score, Gobstoppers, Nerds and Jolly Rancher the best.
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Ash on May 14, 2007, 10:44:58 PM Susan,
That Felix gum sounds like... (http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9858/bigleaguebq1.gif) (http://imageshack.us) It's so soft when you chew it. :thumbup: Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 14, 2007, 10:47:08 PM nothing compares...trust me...lol
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: RCMerchant on May 14, 2007, 10:53:39 PM When I went on the wagon,I found myself craving lotsa sugar...it's slowed down somewhat. But If I had to pick a #1...it would be Jujy Fruits....also like
.BOSTON BAKED BEANS! Yummmm..... Dots! BABY RUTH!!!! (Even if they do look like turds.) Whatever happened to BUBS DADDY gum? They were big foot and a half sticks of gum,and you could jam about 3 in your mouth and psychadelic drool would run down your face... Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Scott on May 14, 2007, 10:55:03 PM Didn't like candy much as a kid except at Halloween and that was only for the candy bars like 3 Musketeers, Snickers, Milky Way, Reese Cups, etc.
One time we took a vacation to Gettysburg and Hershey Park when I was about 8 years old and we were camping not far from Hershey Park and we got a giant Hershey Chocolate bar and ate the whole thing. Well.....it was 100 degrees that week and the whole thing made me sick and remember waking up in the middle of the night to throw-up at the camp ground restroom. My wife introduced chocolate to me again later, but now we only eat Dark Chocolate for the anti-oxidents. We like to take Sour Patches with us on long trips. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Shadow on May 14, 2007, 11:27:20 PM ([url]http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/4779/2112ky4.jpg[/url]) ([url]http://imageshack.us[/url]) I remember as a kid, my mother refused to buy this for me because it was just pure sugar. Of course, multiple boxes of candy cigarettes and cigar-shaped gum was ok with her. Years ago, I went through a Gummi Bear phase. I'd get the big huge bags from Costco and just eat them by the handful. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: JaseSF on May 14, 2007, 11:29:50 PM Canada's Jersey Milk Bar is now tops with me. Also have a love of Skittles, Tic Tacs (but only the orange ones), Mentos (fruit-flavored), Maynard's Wine Gums and Fruit Gums, Cadbury Creme Eggs although they're only out around Easter time. The Caramilk bar is an old favourite too as will as Caramilk rolos type candy and of course there's Rolos themselves.

Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 15, 2007, 06:58:41 AM seriously rebel? well you know you should check out the candy shop anyhow, japan has lots of really tasty candy
and well, if you just so happen to see any felix. I'm still not sure if it's made anymore or if distributors online (if you can even find them) are selling old boxes. sigh Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Snivelly on May 15, 2007, 07:30:50 AM I'm going to japan in septmenber... Oooh, look for some good Engrish examples while you're there! I'd love to visit Japan, may I ask what the occassion is? Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Derf on May 15, 2007, 08:33:38 AM I've never been much of a candy eater (my sugar fix comes from Dr Pepper), but I'd have to list Heath Bars, Nestle Crunch, Twix and $100 Grands among my favorites, along with caramel squares and (more so as a kid) SweetTarts, Spree (not the new "chewy" Spree, but the good old hard, candy-coated sugar rock kind), butterscotch hard candy and Wild Cherry LifeSavers. For a cough, I'll still buy Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops even though I know they are just candy with some vitamin C added; they just taste so good that I'll suck down a bag of them whenever I get a sore throat. Nowadays, though, most candy is too sweet for me; for example, eating a Hershey's Kiss literally makes my teeth hurt.
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Mr. DS on May 15, 2007, 11:14:14 AM Dear lord look what I've started...
Let me add a few more favs of mine into the mix; Chocolate Necco Waffers(I'm convinced I'm the only one in the world who likes these) Tootsie Roll Pops Twizlers Peanut Butter Cups (although I can't eat much thanks to my cut back in Saturated Fats) Atomic Fire Balls How about opening this conversation up to seasonal items; Easter Sweet Tart Bunny and Chick Mix Marshmallow Peeps Christmas I used to get those Lifesavers storybooks every year Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Andrew on May 15, 2007, 11:18:43 AM Reese's peanut butter eggs are probably my favorite. However, I also like the pull and peel twizzlers and real German gummy bears. The whole speech about American gummy bears in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" cracked me up.
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: DodgingGrunge on May 15, 2007, 11:31:54 AM I am allergic to dairy and as such as a kid I never developed much a taste for sweet things. Any sugar I do get comes from colas.
But this gentleman stole $250K worth of Skittles: http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/05/15/skittles.gone.ap/index.html Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: raj on May 15, 2007, 02:23:55 PM Circus Peanuts! :bouncegiggle:
They're addictive. I seemed to have lost my sweet tooth over the years though, and don't eat much candy anymore.

Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Shadow on May 15, 2007, 06:14:39 PM I can't bring myself to eat Peeps anymore after watching things like this : [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpZQIOmBY_c[/url] ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpZQIOmBY_c[/url]) This past Easter I bought some Peeps for the first time since I was about 9 or 10 (so about 28 - 29 years). I took one bite and spit it out. I threw the rest out untouched. YUCK. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Ash on May 15, 2007, 07:25:34 PM This past Easter I bought some Peeps for the first time since I was about 9 or 10 (so about 28 - 29 years).

I hadn't seen this in years, I had no idea it was still around. I wonder if I could find some Charleston Chews also? (http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6987/charlestonchew2kq8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 15, 2007, 08:07:02 PM i think i've seen charlston chews at the dollar store. But check out that hometownfavorites.com link i posted - you can find almost any candy there that is retro. They specialize in selling candy that is sold regionally and not easy to find (as well as food) and are very responsive if you sen an email inquiry.
I was trying to see if mortons donuts was still in business, they did the research for me and alas...my journey ended. They also have a list of retired candy no longer made. But it's a great site if you want to get some hard to find food, or maybe make a gift box for someone with some retro candy..i keep meaning to do that someday Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Dennis on May 15, 2007, 08:39:39 PM Black licorice
Peanut M&MS Three Musketeers Mars Bar and my personal favorite, so much so that I don't get them too often, I'd go broke, See's Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries. Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Ash on May 15, 2007, 08:52:22 PM Did you know that the smell of black licorice is an aphrodisiac?
Read here for more (http://health.howstuffworks.com/aphrodisiac3.htm) Scroll down on that page to where it talks about licorice. I love the smell of black licorice....can't stand the taste though. And Snivelly, I thought you were a guy. :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Shadow on May 15, 2007, 09:04:50 PM There are certain flavors that I love. My top three being Watermelon, Cherry and Apple. I will eat almost any candy that has one of these flavors, whether it be a jelly bean, a gumdrop, a hard candy, a gummi or something else.
What are everyone's favorite flavors in a candy? Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Snivelly on May 15, 2007, 09:07:05 PM And Snivelly, I thought you were a guy. :bouncegiggle: Um, I did post a pic in the member's pic thread........I think I was probably 10 the last time someone thought I was a boy. :question: We'll let it slide this time......... :hatred: Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Andrew on May 15, 2007, 09:33:52 PM Um, I did post a pic in the member's pic thread........I think I was probably 10 the last time someone thought I was a boy. :question: We'll let it slide this time......... :hatred: Snivelly, I wouldn't be too concerned. Ash is just used to it being all of us guys on here. It was not until recently that a number of female posters started showing up. The change threw us all for a loop. Dennis had to get used to wearing clothes, I started keeping the door to my room locked, and Menard...okay, well, Menard still urinates wherever he wants, but the rest of us are trying. Oh, and Peter Johnson reduced his intake of William Shatner films by 50%. Tell me that is not making an effort!

Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: Susan on May 25, 2007, 05:29:40 PM wow - thanks! Hopefully they're reputable enough to give my credit card too - not familiar with this company. I remember awhile back ago doing an internet search on the gum and found very little. Except a few other people who also grew up overseas and remembered it. It's one of smells i never forgot, i remember keeping a wrapper for nostalgia and years later i could still smell the gum on the wrapper :twirl:
Title: Re: Favorite Candy Post by: AnubisVonMojo on May 30, 2007, 08:41:34 AM I think my all time favorite (simply because it seems like I was the only one in my family who could eat them without heave-hoing my lunch), is the deadly Circus Peanut. I try to sneek a few when the wife is out of town, but that's when I can never seem to find them... :question:
