The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.
Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.
Same. The instant it touches my tongue I'm transported back to being a kid and my grandmother thinking these were amazing treats and giving them out to us and then getting really upset if we didn't finish them.
And then I remember I have to actually eat the rest of it. So I finish off the first one and then I see the tiny little 59 cent bag that's only got four more of them in it and I feel like it would be a waste of my money and my effort in acquiring the circus peanuts and so I force myself to eat the rest of the bag and then vow to never eat them again.
My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.
(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)
I was going to agree, but I haven't had Brach's candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it's hard to be sure.
Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.
Skittles, except it's 100% green apple skittles and no other flavors.
I love how they reverted green back to lime in the regular bag. They knew they blew it. You gotta know some higher up loved green apple and wanted it in every skittles bag. Fuck that person. You have terrible taste.
I'm glad to be able to purchase skittles again after a decade+ boycott
