For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

Whoppers are 95% great. It’s that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.

Maybe they meant raisinettes, a lot of people don’t like raisons.

Edit: never mind, milk duds are chewy as hell, but also good. I ruled them out because I figured most people would like them (assuming their teeth don’t get pulled out).

Side note: if you didnt chew now&laters and instead sucked on them. You have infinitely more self control than I do.

No, some whoppers end up with the inside not all whipped and crunchy, but a little chewy. They’re great.

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite taste like accepting your fate.

Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.

Same. The instant it touches my tongue I’m transported back to being a kid and my grandmother thinking these were amazing treats and giving them out to us and then getting really upset if we didn’t finish them.

And then I remember I have to actually eat the rest of it. So I finish off the first one and then I see the tiny little 59 cent bag that’s only got four more of them in it and I feel like it would be a waste of my money and my effort in acquiring the circus peanuts and so I force myself to eat the rest of the bag and then vow to never eat them again.

Until I forget and get another bag.

Cut them up and melt them into something edible. Things don’t have to be uses in the form they come in.

Wait… Is it always the same circus or a brand named circus? What are circus peanuts?

Edit: Nope found it. WTF? Do they taste like peanuts?

No. They taste like chewy sugar rubber goo. Idk how to properly describe it, but I haven’t eaten them since childhood.

My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)

Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat
