Pookiablo Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I seem to suffer from some sort of tourette's lately as for the past 7 months or so I've had a tendency to randomly yell out "Candies!", be it at home, at work or even in public. It's a bit strange but ever since playing Mario Party 8 at Christmas, using the candies in-game WHILST eating candies in real life, I've become addicted to saying it! Anyway, back to the point, what candies do you all love? I'm a big fan of flumps (not the lady type) and lately I've had a hankering for Rowntree's Randoms. They're just so tasty! So tell me people, candies! Edited July 29, 2010 by Shorty
Nhamo Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 My favourite would have to be Almond Joy. Mmmm~ But I also love Sweet Tarts. I like chocolate, but I usually eat a lot at once because it's so yummy, but then I eat so much that I feel sick. A really bad kind of sick. ;<
Rinha Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Hm... to pick faves... how can i do that... I eat Wonka's Nerds like there was no tomorrow(faves are wild cherry/watermelon). They're terribly addictive... Rowntree's Randoms can be problematic as well. To stop eating them, that is. Chocolate wise.... Pocky. The snack pf the gods. And 'nough said! ^_^
Paj! Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Most sweets just give me a headace. I like tangy/fizzy/sour ones though.
Rummy Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I don't eat as much sweets as I used to, but as a kid I was a proper sugarfiend(probably evidenced by my recent dentistry). I think my favourites would have to be Haribo's, gummy sweets and all that, usually Tangfastics but anything'd do really. Or a good ol' bag of penny sweets from the newsagents. Daft raises the most excellent point of skittles, though after a while they all just start to taste like a generic mass of sugar and texture to me. Does anyone remember nerds/dweebs/etc? Recently I have gotten quite a hankering for fruit pastilles, and the occasional jelly baby. EDIT:Totally just noticed Rinha already mentioned Nerds. Can you still even get them??

ReZourceman Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Goafer gave me a cherry flavour alien, the new sweets in Harribo Starburst/Starmix/Starstripes, and they are really nice. Not too....strong.
dwarf Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Candy is such a horrible word. It feels sickeningly American and juvenile and eughhhhhhh. But uhhh... I used to really like sidenote- i see what Rez meant by shitty Google Images. Edit: gotta love this phail

Wesley Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Jolly Ranchers are my favourite non-chocolate sweet. They used to be sold in the UK but stopped being sold years and years ago. I've still got a decent supply that I brought back from America.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I have an incredibly sweet tooth. Feck that, ALL my teeth are massively sweet! My favourite treat is still chocolate, though. We had Skittles in Denmark once for a short period of time. Then they disappeared. WHY MUST THE GODS OF SODA AND CANDY PUNISH US DANES?!
Jav_NE Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Pick 'n' mix all the way. Fizzy Cherry Colas Bananas Coconut Mushrooms I nearly cried when Woolworths closed its doors. I've yet to find a worthy replacement
nekunando Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Jav_NE.. those last two would be two of my least favourite Very poor choices My favourite sweets don't exist any more.. and haven't for an awful long time
Happenstance Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I miss Nerds, cant get them in most places over here unless they're imported from the US and then they cost about £1.50
nekunando Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 ..ah yeh, I miss Nerds too.. particularly Neon Nerds! When I was really young, I actually remember trying to make a jelly out of Dweebs simply by just throwing them into a bowl of water for a couple of hours.. ..needless to say, it didn't work
ReZourceman Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 HOLY FUCKING SHIT FIZZY JERKZ!!!!!!!!!! MOTHER FUCKER!!! CREME/CREAM SODA PINK WAS THE TITS!!!!!!
nekunando Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 HOLY FUCKING SHIT FIZZY JERKZ!!!!!!!!!! MOTHER FUCKER!!! CREME/CREAM SODA PINK WAS THE TITS!!!!!! ..hell yeah Cola was probably my favourite.. but they were all so good
Jav_NE Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Jav_NE.. those last two would be two of my least favourite Very poor choices My favourite sweets don't exist any more.. and haven't for an awful long time You have tried them though right?! Each to their own i guess. The price of Nerds is criminal. I love those too. And Frosties. Mmmm.
Guy Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I want to go on a quest in London this weekend to find every item pictured in this thread and consume it all like a fat kid on halloween. Except the Fizzy Jerkz, which as noted no longer exist and are greatly missed.
nekunando Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 You have tried them though right?! Each to their own i guess. Yeh I want to like them because they remind me of DK and Mario.. but it's just not to be
Jimbob Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Jeez, Fizzy Jerkz. Loved them when they were around, no longer with us for me to sample once more. I do have a urge sometimes for Cola Bottles, Fizzy Laces (Strawberry ones) and Haribo (various types, not really fussed).
arnold Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Chocolate Cocaine, I'm so tempted to get my mum to bring me a tub when she comes over to visit >>
