The Cool Candy Thread

[HTHBellcaptain]

Currently I'm eating some "Jogger Gums." They're a gummi candy made in Germany. They're really tasty, even though they are shaped like sneakers.

OK, I really don't care for the gummi-fill-in-the-blanks, what ever happend to Marzipan?

And what is it about the Germans that make them want to make their candy resemble other household objects or foods?

What? A candy thread started by HTH and no mention of Peeps? HTH, has your ardor for that sugary confection finally waned?

Well, I figured I'd save Peeps for another thread. But since you mentioned it
Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps

Peeps truly are the Candy of the Gods.

Yes, yes, yes! I am a huge licorice fan. Black or red, it doesn't matter. But just don't try to get me to eat those dreadful Twizzlers. They may look like licorice, but they're not....

I used to really enjoy buying the bag of the long red licorice vines at DLR. You know the vines that were a couple feet long? Then they switched to regular size, which was okay. Now, DLR is selling those licorice bits instead. It's just not the same, I tells ya. Which is a good thing anyways, because eating a whole bag of candy is not so good for your waistline or your health.

Aww! I love Twizzlers! And the best part of a Twizzler is that after sucking on one for awhile, they slightly stain your lips a really sexy cherry red. If only they made a lipgloss called "Twizzler"..

Having just shared my confection confession, I will admit I love way too many candies to post! My favorites are what my Mom calls really "junky cheap candy". The Wonka stuff!

I love....

*Everlasting Gobstoppers (I'm a jawbreaker freak!)
* Bottlecaps
* Jellybellies (I love the black ones! )
*Red Licorice Whips
*Candy Corn
*Conversation hearts
*Candy Necklaces ( I love to nibble on those while I'm actually wearing it! )
*Candy Dots! The ones that kinda look like this --> on white paper sheets. (Okay, I just really wanted to use that emoticon! )
*Cherry Sours
*Sour Sugared Cherries, Watermelon Slices & Green Apples
*Gummi Bears!

Is this a good thing to tell you that I have Twizzler flavored lip balm in my purse right now?


And Lashbear... I gotta get you some refill packs man!

YOU KNOW IT IS!!!! I definitely need to know where to score me some Twizzler lip balm! Does it tint your lips the sexy red? I have Twinkies lip balm-it tastes just like the real deal but alas, thankfully does not turn your lips sponge cake yellow. Jaundiced lips would be wicked sad.

HTH has a Peeps maker which is doomed to never be used.

I like chocolate. The good kind--dark dark dark dark dark.

Pocky's fun. World Market didn't have Men's Pocky (dark chocolate) so I bought regular Pocky yesterday. Why is it that dark chocolate is guy thing in Japan? I guess my chocolate preferences are subversive.

The secret is out Mutterhorn Fan is a cross-gender candy eater.


Blueerica, I like the way Ribbon candy looks, too. It usually sticks in my teeth, but it looks cool.
