OT What's your favorite candy?

Submitted by corundum on

So is it OT season yet? Yes? No? Maybe?

 

Either way, I'm having an absolutely fucked day at work because our IT department's incompetency is Dave Brandon as CEO level. I thought I would kill some time by starting a heated MgoBoard debate.

 

What is your favorite candy and why is it Peanut M&M's?

Peanut M&Ms. they have the perfect balance of sweet chocolate and salty peanut. They are the most perfect candy ever created. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong

It's a tie for me between Nutrageous and Whatchamacallit. Honorable mention to Cookies and Cream Twix, which I haven't seen in like 20 years, and I still miss it every day.

Swedish Fish Reese's Pieces - probably influenced by E.T. Twizzlers Nibs Switzer's watermelon licorice One candy I'd really like to have again is Super Ropes. I had them every now and then when I was a kid and I remember them being awesome.

Black licorice. I kid I kid. That shit’s garbage. My 3 year old ate a black jelly bean on Easter and had a hilarious reaction to it. Blah. I told him that I’m sorry and that I can’t believe the Easter bunny did that to him.

Miniature Milky Way Midnights. It's Milky Way with dark chocolate. I used to take my kids' Halloween candy and steal the MWM's for myself. I kept a stash in the kitchen cabinet. Damn, I wish I had one now.

A couple I remember from my childhood but haven't seen in a long time:

Nik-L-Nips (had to look it up to see what they were called--little wax bottles filled with flavored liquid). Bite off the top, suck out the liquid, then chew the wax for awhile.

Candy cigarettes--I have actually seen something similar--candy sticks but without the red tip on the end and the packaging to make them look like a pack of cigarettes.
