ive thought a lot about this and the answer is--

1. reeses peanut butter cups
2. peanut m&ms
3. snickers bars
4. lion bars
5. butterfingers

this is a really good list i dont have much to add except that ill rep pretty hard for gummy-type candies too - they fulfill a slightly different kind of candy craving theyre just that one step further removed from actual food

circus peanuts kinda suck. They're like perennial marshmallow easter eggs.

they're nothing special tastewise, but waxy, colorized high fructose corn syrup has never assumed a more perfect form, imo. snap off the white tips and affix one to each upper front tooth for instant vampire fangs, mold the other two sections into big, mushy cornballs — you know the drill.

"dairy milk snack" is a funny name for candy. so is "pineapple lumps" wtf, why not call them pineapple tumors

(lbrah) (harbl), Thursday, 26 March 2009 18:53 (fifteen years ago) link

because they dont require surgery i guess?

I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Thursday, 26 March 2009 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

it reminds me of a convenience store i live near called "dairy family"

lol britishers.
most of these must have US analogs; I assume malteasers are whoppers?

continuous flow crustastunna (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:02 (fifteen years ago) link

oh yeah i don't like whoppers, that crunchy stuff in the middle is not great-tasting

(lbrah) (harbl), Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link

i go on a candy corn bender every few months

(lbrah) (harbl), Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:19 (fifteen years ago) link

Malteasers and whoppers taste nothing alike. Whoppers are distgusting for sure. Pineapple lumps are from New Zealand I think.

okay, can we get some description for the non-american candy?
i m curious. Some of this stuff is available at better corner delis but is crazy expensive, like three bucks a candy bar and I wanna know where it's worth it.

continuous flow crustastunna (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 March 2009 20:04 (fifteen years ago) link

okay maltesers are malty fluffy things that you can crunch but if you hold them on your tongue for a minute they collapse in on themselves. they have the same description as whoppers but taste NOTHING like whoppers.

violet crumble is this crunchy honeycomb stuff that breaks off in shards when you bite it and then goes all sticky in yr mouth.

cherry ripe is cherries squished up and coated in dark chocolate

snack is a block of chocolate with about 6 different types of centers - pineapple, strawberry, caramel, orange come to mind. each square is shaped like the fruity flavor it holds. kids fight over the pineapple then they fight over the strawberry.

bananas are a banana tasting candy that is very hard to describe. its soft, not at all chewy and completely delicious.

sherbies are a hardish but chewy orange flavored taffy with sherbet in the middle. im talking about the fizzy white powder not sorbet.

pineapple lumps are chocolate coated squares of pineapple flavored soft chewy stuff.

aren't bananas just runts? but instead of all the other "fruits" you guys just have "bananas."

(lbrah) (harbl), Thursday, 26 March 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link

No. they arent hard at all

violet crumble is pretty much a crunchie, the honey part is maybe a little lighter. both are A+

velko, Thursday, 26 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

pineapple lumps:

estela, Thursday, 26 March 2009 23:22 (fifteen years ago) link

violet crumble is pretty much a crunchie

two months pass...

have u ever wanted candy so bad unnnnghghhghggggggghhhhh

harbl, Saturday, 13 June 2009 23:46 (fifteen years ago) link

I ate so much candy in college. like, disgusting amounts. I have a late-night sweet tooth that is so strong that I might end up killing somebody one day if they get between me and sugar.

iatee, Sunday, 14 June 2009 00:27 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't have a favorite tho. go through phases.

iatee, Sunday, 14 June 2009 00:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't really either. i have to make an effort not to buy it except like once a month maybe because sweet teeth are self reproducing, like if you eat refined sugar regularly you want it all the time ime. i dunno.

when i was a kid i loved the pink, heart shaped runts. they sold them in a vending machine at a chinese restaurant we went to often. were these meant to be peach flavored?

i used to buy candy from mennonites at the public market and they had the best orange slices

harbl, Sunday, 14 June 2009 10:36 (fifteen years ago) link

s1ock doctrine (roxymuzak), Sunday, 14 June 2009 10:36 (fifteen years ago) link
