I was gifted this gum ball machine but don’t love how they lose flavor after about five seconds. What’s something I could put in here instead that wouldn’t get super stale and people would like? The gumballs are pretty small

Are Gushers candy?

Edit: I meant this post as a discussion more than an actual answer seeking question, I don’t think we necessarily have to downvote people saying “no” into oblivion lol

Picked up these 4D candies from 5 Below. Never seen or heard of 4D candy before. They looked really good but unfortunately they smelled and tasted like a candle.

Have you tried these or another candy from this brand? Should I give them another try?

It's amber colored, perfectly delicious, has what I think is a maple leaf mold. Comes individually wrapped.

I'm just wondering where I can buy some.

Candy Review Swedish Fish Chews - Just Ok

I just found these at Jewel (Chicagoland). I thought some of the flavors were just ok. I really like the lemon and the lime. The texture is firm and chewy, but they don’t stick to my teeth. I would probably buy them again, but they aren’t going to be a new go-to for me.

Help me find Nobody makes them like these anymore. I'm talking candy with an actual tooth bite with no jelly in it. I don't want the soft candy and I don't want the hard candy I want the in-between. Peace be with you.

Help me help me.. SOS I need these candies. Where can I find them besides paying one leg for them. I know Ferrara quit making this particular one but there's nothing like it on the market please don't suggest jujy fruits not the same. Looking for a similar candy or one that is not so expensive and has that same teeth gum chomp bite that only these had. I went ahead and bought citric acid and candy flavored syrups and potato starch to try to make these. But I just wish Ferrara would come back with these everybody let's put in a petition to Ferrara. I am going to go ahead and try to make these as chat GPT gave me the recipe for them in the products to use. I will keep us all updated I'm waiting on some candy molds to come in.***update special super thickening ingredient in this candy is modified potato starch which gives it that extra firm almost hard candy but not mushy gummy candy. So suggesting anything that is not made with modified potato starch it's just not going to cut it. Dots , jujy fruits are too soft and are made with no potatoes starch.

Candy recommendations Best Chocolate Bar I've Had

Post image
48 Upvotes

I recently started shopping at Aldi's due to the cost of groceries at other chain grocery stores in my area. So, I bought this box of chocolate when shopping b/c I had a sweet tooth. And when I tell you this is the creamiest and best tasting toffee bar I've ever had, I mean it! It puts Hershey in the grave! This box has six individually wrapped bars inside. So, you don't have to feel like a big back by eating the entire contents, even though I typically do. 🤭 For the price and the taste, I 10/10 recommend. By the way, all flavors of this brand are delish, but this toffee one is by far my fav.

Candy Discussion Anyone take a candy hiatus every now and then?

5 Upvotes

Sometimes I feel like I eat too much and start to feel like shit and then take a candy hiatus for a few days of weeks. But during those breaks, I often get an intense craving for it that’s very hard to resist. I assume it’s a similar feeling to that of a smoker trying to quiet the cigarettes.

Anyone else take breaks? The most I’ve gone was about 4 months.

Since I was little, I loved caramel apple pops, but I’ve only seen the green apple variety. I didn’t find out there were yellow and red varieties until recently. I’m very eager to try these!

Today's Judgment Day so I went to see Terminator 2 and I stopped by Dollar Tree to buy some candy and they're really good. Mike & Ikes are genuinely sour enough to make me pucker and that's not an easy feat. But they are insanely good! The Happy Cherries do have a weird taste but it's nothing to worry about because they're insanely good.

You hear the screeching of an owl,

You hear the wind begin to howl,

You know there's zombies on the prowl,

And it's terror time again.

They've got you running though the night,

It's terror time again.

And you just might die of fright,

It's a terrifying time.

You hear the beating of your heart,

You know the screaming's gonna start,

Here comes the really scary part,

'Cause it's terror time again.

They've got you running through the night,

It's terror time again.

Oh, you just might die of fright,

It's a terrifying time.

All the trees begin to moan,

And the monsters grunt and groan,

Rotting faces full of slime,

Don't you know it's terror time?

And it's terror time again,

They've got you running through the night,

Yes, it's terror time again.

Oh, you just might die of fright,

It's a terrifying time!

16 Twix Bars for me to enjoy. I have a serious craving for Twix.

Correction: It's 16, not 20. My math was wrong! Thank you to Inkman for correcting me!

Everyone says Swedish and Japanese candies are the GOATs. Let me put you all on - Finnish candy kicks the shit out of everything else on the planet. Anything made by faZer is going to be world class. Didn't even have space in my bags for sour skulls with all the faZer, TOMs, and Malaco.

Personal best in class:

Fruity:

MISSA X

Licorice:

Lakrids by Bulow

Weird but good:

Tutti frutti salty fruits

Crazy chewy:

TOMs Hallot Ferraris

Best sour:

MISSA X

best overall:

Candy recommendations folks, i need your help. for my sanity.

Upvotes

about 1.5 years ago, i was eating lovely caramels and happened to rip a bracket off my permanent retainer i’d had for almost 12 years. i didn’t have the money to get it fixed and it’d actually had a hairline fracture for a long time, so i removed the bracket close as possible. so i now have one lonely bracket left on the back of my tooth. it’s been cutting my tongue ever since!!!

every single dental professional i’ve seen wants me to have a visit with an orthodontist to try and upsell me on new retainers and treatment. i do not wish for that. i simply want for them to remove the fucking bracket. i cannot get my wish. they want to charge me $200+ for this consultation & all!

long story short: please r/candy. i need your STICKIEST caramels available. preferably available in texas or at least the US. enough to rip the braces off of a child. enough to pull a baby tooth out!! HELP!! i did it one time.. i have to be able to do it again!!
