the flavour combos grape/orange and lime/cherry drove me CRAZY, since cherry and grape were my favourites, but they were in different goddamn packets. it forced me to buy both.

I ate a "Crazy Dip" last night while unpacking, which is like a Fun Dip, only you dip with a foot-shaped lolly. Into pop rocks.

that's crazy.

Big League Chew when I was little there was this shredded beef jerky stuff that came in a snuff tin and looked, felt and tasted like steel wool

I discovered this in Hong Kong and brought back three packets. It is the most painful thing I've ever eaten, and is truly awesome. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/511BTD5KKSL._AA280_.jpg

I think the cover star is over the age of 12, though.
we used to call fun dip "lik-em-aids" and, yeah, CLASSIC
― sunny successor, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link
does anyone else get dreadful heAdaches from pop rocks?
o man i love super lemons. used to buy them in chinatown. super! lemon!

Chocolate and Vanilla BB-Bats are ridiculously awesome...I doubt my teeth could handle them now, though. I might go to the gas station tomorrow for fun dip.

I used to eat whole bags of candy in one sitting. I think i'm gonna do that tomorrow.

My wife eats Nerd Rope (pictured upthread, I believe) and my dad loves Swedish Fish. Both over the age of 12.
Does anyone remember the penis-shaped tube that squirted syrupy red goo out of a small little hole at the top? Those things were obscene. They tasted like the stuff they mix into the soda water for fountain drinks. I think they were actually called 'squeeze pops.'
also, push (up?) pops to thread.

I LOVE Nerd Rope (and hate regular nerds, weirdly enough).
Also Sixlets are absolutely gross

I have a weakness for those mini Sugar Daddys. But I think that's for the Sugar Daddys (and other candy no one with any self respect under the age of 102 would be seen with) - Classic or Dud?!!? thread

While I find Nerds Rope beautiful, I don't much care for the taste or texture.
Really, really love what it looks like, though.

OMGZ I adore Nerds Rope. I wish I could just have a big pile of nerds rope for wedding cake, but the man votes no on proposition that.
