Favorite Candy

The Sandbox General
21

Milk chocolate is a child like preference over dark.

22

Banana Laffy Taffy, Banana Marshmallows, Starburst Jelly Beans, Regular Jelly Beans (good ones), Hot Lips, DinoSours, those hard candies that are in the shape of fruit but not Runts (I also like Runts; I’m partial to the bananas), Bottle Caps, those sour sugar coated string things, bubblegum ice cream, many other flavors of ice cream, Mike & Ikes, oooh I really like Hot Tamales but my taste buds get inflamed, …, does favorite have to be just one because I have a lot of favorites …

I have a problem.

I also ate ice cream for breakfast.

Translation: VJVJ is from Chicago and has indicated a fondness for their locally grown, dice-sized cubes of minty meltaway chocolate. I fully concur. Fanny May is a local candy chain, and Frango was a brand sold exclusively by the department store Marshall Fields (now Macy’s)

Of common candies, most chocolate things are good. Peanut M&Ms are my favorite. Milk chocolate Dove pieces are 2nd best.

I like some less common ones too: Ritter Sport Cornflake bars are awesome.

I’m heading over to Chicago in August, so this information is relevant to my interests.

my kid went on a work trip with me to cayman. wife also there. they beached it up while I worked (where “work” is defined as a sequence of meetings all day where I eat and drink very well).

the kit kats (canadian/UK) were her favorite. she and i both could notice a difference. had to explain to work that the 10 kit kats itemized on the hotel bill were “personal”.

I used to eat one practically every day, but my blood glucose level was way too high last time I had it checked, so I’ve cut way back.

Oh no Dove chocolate bars are the best! Don’t find them very often but when I do I buy them all

the lack of ferrero rocher is homophobic

40

Those are good. I was thinking of things you would get on Halloween, ferrerro rocher are more like high-end chocolates and similar to a box of chocolates you would get on valentine’s day. I consider that a different class than standard fare “candy”.
