As someone from NM: what the hell are tootsie pops?
Wtf is this East Coast West coast Twizzlers v Red Vines?
Why Florida gotta do themselves like that?
Look at that bougie shit down in Texas.
And HI!
I once found Twizzlers in a german supermarket for a lot of money. I bought it out of curiosity.
Do you really like that stuff? I found it disgusting and threw it away.
Dum Dums so fitting for Florida
Hi-chew? If Alaska wasn’t already detached I’d make a petition. Who the fuck likes hi-chew?
Who the fuck doesn’t like hi-chew’s?
What the fuck is hi-chew?
Sir we have Starbursts. We are civilized.
Starburst are the Great Value brand of Hi-Chew.
You have that backwards. Hi-chew are the hydrox of chewable fruit treats.
A while back, I looked at a list of the most-widely-sold candy bars in the US, and it blew my mind how old they were.
Like, yes, they’ve seen formulas revised, and they aren’t quite the same thing, but I’d have thought that the advent of technology would let people come up with new and interesting bars. Very few consumer products are as elderly as a lot of these and still selling widely.
I did a table with a list a while back – the majority of popular bars are at least 70 years old. I don’t want to do up a whole table right now, but let me pick a random one: Snickers.
Now, I’ve got nothing against Snickers. I like it. But Snickers hit the market in 1930. It’s 93 years old. That means that in 93 years, we haven’t been able to come up with anything sufficiently-better to displace it. That amazes me. In that period, we’ve seen radical changes to our diet and to technology. The refrigerator became widely deployed in the US, the freezer, the microwave. Automats came and went. Vending machines showed up. Year-round availability of many foods became the norm in grocery stores as transportation and storage capability improved. But the candy bar has remained surprisingly unchanging.
That’s kind of how evolution works. Once you get something dialed in, it just kind of sticks around forever. Happens in other instances as well, like the fashion industry and Blue Jeans. Or Radio. When something works well, we just keep it as is.
No way people in Mississippi eat candy corn. It might be where all the candy corn from the rest of the country gets dumped, but no way anyone eats it.
The Hawaiians are the only people who know what’s up. Why is everyone else got bullshit and the Hawaiians are out there giving kids posh dinner party chocolate balls
Man. I. Tired. I kept reading it as Halloween candles and got so confused.
I mean this very sincerely and not as a joke. Just a friendly suggestion. You may want to get your eyes checked.
Lol. Yeah I actually am going to an optometrist soon.
Good for you! I totally used to confuse “i” with “l” before getting my glasses. I was also shocked by how you can see individual leaves in a tree’s foliage with glasses. Before that they just looked like one uniform green thing to me.
Ferrero Rocher are candies? These are chocolate. It’s a weird definition of candy to include them.
Anyway, the best candies for Halloween are Brussels sprouts.
I’m surprised people actually like candy corn
gotta be something in the water down in FL
