    I can't even imagine what a wasabi kitkat would taste like?

    is it the same spicy/gingery wasabi used in sushi?

    straightzi I too am fond of old man candies

    but I am also fond of Scandinavian salted licorice and that shit gets dangerous

    A co-worker brought some of that in to share with the office a while ago.
    Weird stuff. Tasted horrible, like one of the most unpleasant things I've ever tasted.
    I only had one piece, and at the time, I thought that would be enough.
    But, for some reason that I can't fathom, I've been wanting to try it again. I've been looking at online candy vendors and thinking about ordering it.

    So far, I've resisted though.

    @miscellaneousinsanity mailed me some a few years back and I had a similar experience, but the bag was big enough that I kept on keeping on and now I have a near-physical craving for licorice flavors

    Bold conventional licorice and absinthe are outright delicious to me now, which is a nice bonus. My girlfriend's mom makes these incredible cookies flavored with anise oil, flavors so strong others have compared it to being hit by a licorice flavored gas grenade, and I will eat the entire plate if left to my own devices

    Specialty Kit Kats are so expensive at the soda/candy shoppe I go to with "exotic" offerings.

    A lot of the weirder Kit Kats are limited runs (and not even necessarily common in Japan after the promo ends) it makes sense that they are treated more like collectible imports than actual candy

    ahahaha that's amazing

    that reminds me, i still wanna try salmiakki liquer

    personally i can't stand normal black liquorice, but something about the texture of salmiakki is pretty nice

    I would like to elaborate on my answer by saying that candy corn is trash and it should get out of here but my mouth is an acceptable avenue for it to exit.

    Candy corn is the grossest thing I'll happily eat and I eat a lot of gross food-like processed sugar products.

    I love peeps but I have a hard time eating them anymore. Once upon a time when peeps were on clearance after easter, I bought $30 worth and ate them in a couple days. Vomiting a gallon of partially digested marshmallow isn't the worst way to puke, fyi.

    Best candy bar is milka milk chocolate.

    Best candy bar with stuff in it is Reese cups.

    Best candy bar I can't get anymore is this French mint chocolate bar they used to have at rite aid for 2 bucks a bar.

    addendum to this post, never nuts in chocolate ever. Nuts are bad on their own keep them out of my candy.

    I think it was Russell stover that made those French mint bars back in the early 2000s. But they stopped when they realized the could charge more for less chocolate if they packaged them in fancy boxes and made them little pieces. I'm pretty sure it's like 8 bucks for one of those French mint boxes with maybe the same amount of candy as two of the old bars.

    I'm not hitting play on that because I can't stand to hear that man's voice but some of the other quotes I've seen make the man sound like a for real sexual predator.

    I mean we already knew him to be one but these are children for fuck sake.

    taste: if we establish first that the "peanut butter" in reese's products is more like peanut chalk with added fat and sugar, ie gross
    then they're actually not bad

    probably because the peanut styrofoam mix is not corrupting anything resembling chocolate, for once.

    I always think I like Reese's white chocolate peanut butter products. It's true that the filling is pretty gross but there's something about them where I always forget I don't really like it until about halfway through a cup/egg/pumpkin/whatever. It's why the mini ones are perfect because a single bite is just enough to enjoy before reality sets in.

    I love reese's filling

    but it's definitely peanut butter like, rather than actual peanut butter.

    Chomp hits me right in a specific spot

    a spot where I am reminiscing about being a small child and only having 50 cents to spend on a chocolate bar
