      I really like them. My coworkers and family hate them, and mock me for liking them. But I get all of the unwanted Whoppers at Halloween, so it’s worth their contempt.

          They are a candy, malt balls covered in milk chocolate. Malt is one of those divisive flavors. The name is confusing!

      This is funny to me. I just got told by my co-worker that Albanese is the best gummy candy and way better than everything else. I mentioned Haribo and he was not impressed. I tried the Albanese sour gummy worms and I have to admit were really good.

    Red vines, once I open a bag it’s game over, it will 100% be gone that day. The size of the bag does not matter. The only ones that last longer are the multi-pound tubs.

    Literally anything from Aldi. Every single sweet they sell there is amazing, stupidly cheap, bafflingly well made.

    Outside of that, Easter egg reese’s pieces eggs. They have a way better ratio of peanut butter to candy shell than the little bits.

        I will give you a heads up that if you buy vinegar powder (acetic acid, basically) in an attempt to make your own, be very careful. I made salt & vinegar popcorn once, but the seasoning was too loose on the surface of the popcorn and if i breathed in at all while eating I got a hefty dose of burning lungs
