It’s that time of the year for this debate.

Where do you fall on this matter?

 

[Kat]

Candy and corn are both usually delicious, so I'm unsure how candy corn is so gross.

I'd rather eat wax vampire teeth

 

[MC74]

Not for me.

[dimmerwit]

No idea what this stuff is, but I'd probably eat it.

(...is also my strategy in Japan and China)

 

[Kat]

Somebody send dimmerwit some candy corn please.

Imagine someone gave you a wax candle, and then shit in your mouth.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Never have I ever.

Ever.

Yet my kids and wife love them.

 

[rktaker]

I....I like candy corn......*runs out of thread*

 

[Fool's Requiem]

these chalk flavored coins taste better than candy corn...

 

[Jon]

Candy corn can join peeps in the the "this should be disinvented" category.

 

[rktaker]

i also like peeps..... yeah that's right I said it

 

[Jawneh]

I used to be the biggest fan.

Then the durability of my teeth fell below necessary comfort and usability levels.

Now I might pop one or two, but whole crap do those things find any and every single crack and cavity in your chompers.

 

[Kat]

I don't actually remember what candy corn tastes like. I just remember not liking it.

 

[dimmerwit]

I'm far too close to pressing the order button.

It can't be worse than Turkish Delight.

It's not. Turkish Delight is worse

I don't love peeps, but Christina makes Peeps Apocalypse Brownies which are basically just brownies with a peep stuck in them that melt in the oven and look like something out of a nuclear holocaust.

They're yummy.

I would give those a shot. Probably still wouldn’t like them. Peeps are vile to me. But I trust her baking.

I am allergic to most of the non-spices in Turkish delight, but I’d probably still eat that over peeps and candy corn lol

 

[Nae'blis]

Candy corn doesn't really exist in Sweden, so I wouldn't know.

 

[Ben]

I hated Turkish Delight whenever I encountered it in the UK. Although that does remind me of a fucking classic, the Walnut Whip. There was a video shop we'd rent movies from and they always had the Walnut Whip and Turkish Delight placed next to each other, so I just remember being disapproving of the snack neighbor.



I'd always toss the walnut, but they were top tier beyond that.

I'm not big on Swedish Fish. Also just too waxy feeling. Same with Twizzlers I guess.

 

[Ben]

I know this thread had a bad candy thing going, but thinking about English candy that I miss made me remember Sherbet Fountains and now I'm wondering if @Crystal or @dimmerwit remember them.

Literally just a paper tube of sherbet powder, with a black licorice 'wick'. I'd always toss the licorice and dump it into a bowl, then eat it with a spoon like I was having cocaine for breakfast.

Had them, never a fan, but sherbet in general was never a me thing.

But sugar is millions of little crystal... And you are what you eat, so you must eat what you are.

It's fine, you can have the licorice while I devour the fast-dust.

I hate licorice. Eww.

 

[Crystal]

I'll give you every packet of sherbet, you give me every packet of Nestle Munchies. You can build a mountain of fake coke and and I'll just sit and get fat on munchies

Sherbet Fountains still very much exist! Only 35p according to Tesco.

I don't like liqourice so I always got similar products like swizzels or dip dab, which are the same concept but with different flavoured wicks/lollies. Like you I would often do what god intended and just crack open the pack and snort it off a table pour it into my mouth.
