Isn't that the gum where you could chew the wrapper in with it? I always thought it made it lose flavor quick and become "less chewy."

For me though, only one candy is the best ever. Don't need no stinkin list.

Skittles

My wife buys me a jumbo box of these every year for Valentine's Day. It takes me about two days to kill off the entire box. :laugh2:

I would eat them faster, but the enormous amounts of that sugary syrup inside them starts to burn my throat forcing me to slow down. :laugh2:

I always freeze my Snickers first.

Interesting candy. Most of my staff are huge Skittle fans. There are bowls of the stuff all over our unit.

I still don't know for sure who fills the bowls. Im pretty certain the bowls have skittle themes. None of the bowls are like the other.

Carnival skittles seem to be the most eaten (someone has a big stash) w/ the Sour flavor being a close 2nd. The original Skittles not so much.

Good candy though. LOTS OF SUGAR...wow

I never understood the fascination with these. They are usually more expensive than other chocolates, but they aren't any better and certainly aren't anything to write home about.

Reality may have a site issue. Performance really isn't there when you edit or are posting.

This is why folks are getting the dreaded double posting and timeouts when editing/posts.

I have actually refreshed the site and began reading again when my new threads wouldn't show up, only to have it show up a couple of minutes later.

strange..

Issues w/ copying external images and pasting them into the body of a post isn't exactly working properly. It's displaying the image but also is displaying the entire URL of that image.

The only way to get around it is copy the image to your post body and then select it/ctrl-c to copy it again and then delete it and the url and then ctrl-v your image again and the link doesn't appear.

Drives me nuckin futz...

They glowed in the dark when popping. Everything about them was fun. We snuck them into people's food so the popping would freak them out.

You'd drink the syrup and then chew the wax like gum. I loved them. I have no idea why now.

Ha! Yeah, remember them since I used to keep a couple around the house when I had braces as a kid. Emergency source of wax when the braces would force a canker sore.

Did anyone else used to unwrap these and put them in a Luden's cough drop box to get them into school?

Favorites now are Snickers with Almonds and some of the really crazy stuff the chocolatier next door to work whips up. Amaretto white chocolate almond...a little slice of heaven there.

Shockers. Sour and chewy. Loved these things. Don't buy candy bars too often anymore though.

Used to HATE getting those last two in my Halloween loot. Dad loved 'em so they didn't go to waste, but man I was not happy with them especially if I saw someone else in the neighborhood giving out Nerds or Mini-Krackle bars from a house I had skipped.

Absolutely loved these.

When I was like 10 years old a couple of my friends and I bought a bunch of these and we thought it would be funny to the public pool and we would toss these things behind people and watch the color of the water change around them. It was funny til we got kicked out of the pool for that Summer.

I also loved these. They had card board coins in them and you could save them and send in for prizes. Made by the same people who made the Mallow Cups.

Better than all three of your original suggestions.

;)

Razzles, Bubble Gum, and more gum which loses taste in 5 minutes.
Don't get me wrong. the gum cigs were fun but same as the fruit stripes lost flavor and chewability (is that a word???).

Nerds are as mediocre as the candy strips they used to sell that got stuck to the paper. Candy necklaces were better. :D

Anyone besides me enjoy pop rocks? It wasn't my favorite but dang it was fun.

I loved chick o sticks that someone mentioned and Jolly Rancher sticks of which I loved the Fire Sticks. I've always had a thing for cinnamon like red hots, fire balls, etc.

I loved pop rocks. I used to manager a store and I searched ,found and started to sell pop rocks and I couldnt keep them on the shelf they were so popular,

I also loved the Clark bar. it is close to a 5th Ave but better
