When I was a kid, I got 25 cents allowance, which was spent on a Milky Way (10c), a Three Musketeers (10c), and a Charleston Chew (5c): The trifecta of perfection in 1974. You guys obviously haven’t tried a frozen Three Musketeers on a hot summer day….aaahhhh.
Ugh, any kind of taffy, but particularly the peanut, banana or strawberry flavors. I like strawberries, but I can’t think of anything strawberry-FLAVORED that isn’t nasty.
Cinnamon, grape and cherry JRs rock. Keep the watermelon away.
Fun JR bonus: stained glass cookies. Make thin (1/8″) rolled cookies on parchment, cut out a shape in the middle and fill with crushed JR. Underbake the cookies a little (no browning), and the candy will melt back into a clear solid layer. If it’s full of bubbles, you cooked them too long.
You can make a fade from one large (> a thumbnail) area of color to another, but don’t bother trying to put in little spots of color–they just merge into a bad purple.
The candy I never could understand was those wax tubes filled with colored sugar water. What the hell was that all about?
#53: absolutely. Wax tubes? (*shudder*). And candy corn is something I talked so badly about that my daughter was sure she’d love it because I hate it. When she finally tried it she spit it out in horror. “Mom, you’re RIGHT!” (not sure if the horror was because of the candy corn or because I was right). I think it was Jolly Rancher that has that god-awful “watermelon” flavor. Horrible. Now, what’s wrong with Pixie Sticks? No surprises: flavored sugar. Yum!
violet is not an appropriate candy-flavor.
Candy corn, hands down.
Wax lips. They had no flavor. At all. And you were eating lips.
Gods, you can still BUY those horrible things! WHY?
