I'll take the grape ones if you don't want them.

Particularly Pixie Stix. Grape's the best flavor of those.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah, wtf? Grape is fantastic. Its literally the flavor "purple".

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

In Britain, if not Europe, "purple" is often blackcurrant, not grape.

You never see my man kiwi without that damn upstagin' strawberry

As a certified Orange Enjoyer, it always perplexed me how other kids were always so ready to trade away their orange Starburst.

As someone who also thinks the pink ones are way overrated, though, it ultimately didn't matter to me, because li'l me was out there making some deals

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Some iffy candidates:

  • root beer
  • black licorice
  • grape
[-] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Root beer barrels come to mind. Obviously black licorice has it's own candy. Usually I see grape flavored fun dip and pop rocks

Surprised to see Grape so many times! The fake grape flavor of grape candy is my favorite!

[-] Thebular@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Let's play hide and seek, I'll hide and you seek professional help.

All joking aside, I'm glad you enjoy them! I've never really met anyone who does so I always have to just begrudgingly eat the grape candy myself when it comes in a bag with different flavors. I hate food waste too much to throw the damn stuff out

Am I the only one who doesnt care for watermelon flavor?

Of all the "red" flavors, watermelon is the most disappointing. Just give me cherry, strawberry, or raspberry. Far, far superior.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Watermelon and strawberry both, just gross.

[-] ChaosCoati@midwest.social 12 points 1 month ago

Cherry for me. Common flavor in lots of fruity candy mixes but not my favorite. I do like cherry sours on their own though

[-] 667@lemmy.radio 10 points 1 month ago

Luden’s cherry cough drops for me. I can eat them like candy, and honestly they probably are.

[-] Poots@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

My disdain for cherry candies actually comes from a childhood of sore throats and, therefore, gratuitous cherry-flavored medicines. I know it’s all mental but I can ’feel’ my tongue go numb from anything with that cherry flavor…

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

Lime? Don’t see a lot of lime candy all by themselves.

Butter too. So many candies include butter, but it’s rarely hyped as the star flavor.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

What about butterscotch, though?

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

No thanks, I’ll take it without the butter.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

A man of culture, I see

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

Whatever the hell candy corn is.

[-] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Eat it with a handful of peanuts. Goes from awful to awesome.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Like the crunchy ones that come in shells or the god forsaken orange foam ”candy"?

[-] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Lol yes real peanuts. I wouldn't wish the orange foam on my worst enemies.

[-] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Wish them on me instead, I adore them!

You have exclusive rights to any foam peanuts that come my way.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago
[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Aw yes, my people are here! I love that stuff!

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Circus peanuts! Even as a kid, those things were disgusting.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It's made with honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla, and I loooove it.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

I don't understand the question

[-] lolola 6 points 1 month ago

My sense is it's getting at "what's an overated candy flavor"

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Onion.

It's in almost everything; but almost nobody claims it to be their favorite.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

onion flavoured candy is the best

[-] canitendtherabbits@kbin.earth 5 points 1 month ago
[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Archie McPhee is cheating. They have ketchup hard candies among other incredible atrocities.

Sadly it looks like they no longer have the Nihilist 'mints' that taste like nothing.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

You know if a candy line has a fruit punch flavor you're in for an iffy time.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fruit punch is just all the fruits that you wouldn't eat individually mixed together. A jambalaya of mediocrity.

[-] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

'Jambalaya of Mediocrity'. Excellent.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

A Gumbo of Meh

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[-] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

hard disagree. Favorite flavor in any candy

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Well it's my star! But I feel bubble gum always gets main credits.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Grape. When I am eating Skittles they are consistently the last remaining ones in the bag...

White jelly beans. I like them, but I have never heard anyone ever say it was their favorite.
