Starburst rule. I also love Skittles and anything sour and gummi ("Surf Sweets" makes a good all-natural gummi bear, if you're looking for something vaguely healthful).<br /><br />I've always hated Twizzlers. They're so bland. Red Vines are way better, but it's even harder to find fresh/soft ones. Anyway Twizzlers and most other licorice are off limits for me now because they contain wheat flour (gross). So I'd have to pass on the beer bread too.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67881661576743990.post-38047253997867784942011-04-19T23:22:26.259-05:002011-04-19T23:22:26.259-05:00Carrie - CANDY!

I spent part of my childhood hanging around with a kid who fetishized (and stole from the local gas station) Airheads, including the mystery white-wrappered flavor Carrie mentions.<br /><br />3) Chuckles: I remember these fruit-flavored jelly candies pretty favorably; as I recall, they were tasty and dissolved fast on the tongue. Also, my journalism teacher told me if he was a serial killer, he would stuff one under every victim's tongue, so each of them died with a chuckle in his or her mouth.Tim Dickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108326838218032812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67881661576743990.post-66785854475787168802011-04-19T22:43:27.694-05:002011-04-19T22:43:27.694-05:00i love airheads, even the mystery white one that s...i love airheads, even the mystery white one that sometimes tastes like pine-sol. we should talk about candy sometime, mike. i am a candy FREAK, although lately i've been eating this german chocolate that i started eating at my friend's apartment during AWP. the brand is ritter, and it is transcendent. <br /><br />i'll eat any kind of candy, basically. i'm partial to hot tamales, starbursts, anything hershey's (especially almonds, and don't EVEN get me started on hershey's nuggets with almond). salt water taffy is one of my main jams. i'll even eat mary janes, old now & laters, and those HUGE sweettarts that cut a whole in your cheek. any candy at all, pretty much, aside from licorice (but i will eat good & plenty)....i will eat it. i get this from my dad who had the biggest sweet tooth of anyone i have ever met , hands down. he was a true candyfreak.carrie murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938326535633694699noreply@blogger.com
