I’ve had Krackel once or twice ever. I think its a bit thick compared to Crunch. I like Crunch’s thinness, melts faster on the tongue.
The Nestle Crunch “Nibs” (small Crunch-chocolate-covered ice cream bon bons) are awesome.
Thanks for making my mouth water! [mad][mad][:P]

Yeah,those things are the best Crunch product…reall good…
Hey Gunnar-I just went to Costco to get a couple of cases of the Sam Adams Winter Classics sampler lager(I get it every year…I like a couple of them and my lady really digs them…plus they have a new one this year that I have to try out of curiosity)…
on the way out I grabbed the Kirkland mega Funhouse Treats bag…it has Lemonheads,Skittles,Starburst,Life Saver Gummies,Sour Patch,Wonka Laffy Taffy,multi Jolly Ranchers,Nerds,Gobstoppers,Swizzlers and Sweet tarts…this thing is fucking loaded…I’m gonna be all wired out…the bag is giant…hahaha

That’s a good mix. All good stuff. Not a dud in the batch. Are the Twizzlers the regular waxy ones, or the “Pull-n-Peel” ones. I’ll eat 'em all but the chewier/gummier pull-n-peels are better.
I always read the Laffy Taffy jokes. I think, “This joke is gonna suck.” And then. Yep. The joke sucks. I like how they ascribe “authors” to them. Oh, that one was from “Dougie F from Sioux City, ND”. Awesome.
I always wonder if they actually collect jokes from people or if they just assign random names and cities to the lame ass jokes.
I always steal all the banana Laffy Taffy first.
Yeah it’s the pull n peel variety…sour apple,cherry and grape…fucking money!!!
I wonder the same about the jokes…you would think nobody would want their real names attatched to those haha…
Never was big into candy, but ever since I quit smoking and cut back on red meats and soda, my taste has mutated into this weird entity that craves onions, mangos, black-ass coffee, and retardedly old-school candies like Abba Zabba and Charleston Chew. Also Swedish Fish and those stupid candy orange/lime slices.
Most candy is way too sweet for me, especially after giving up the coffin nails. Hell, I have a hard time drinking light beer without a meal to go with it. I’d much rather just eat a piece of fruit. I’ll make one hell of an exception for dark chocolate. The darker the better.
Snickers sucked up my life by introducing the dark chocolate variant. A Snickers that’s actually edible to me is going to ruin me.
I used to be okay with licorice, but having a buddy of mine down a bottle of Jaeger and puke it up a minute later killed all desire I have for that.
Mexican candy is superior when it’s not glass covered in lead. We have these mango candies with tamarindo in them that are the greatest thing, and fruit-roll-ups made of tamarindo that go real nicely with a cold beer. Also, there’s this type of caramel made with goat’s milk that kicks the shit out of anything Goetz makes.
I dunno if this is still a thing, but it ruled my life when I was a kid:
NINJA-EDIT: Just saw it’s been discontinued due to lead poisoning. Fuck dammit.
This is the best Prongs thread in a long time.

Haha! Oh my fucking god Lucas. Forgot all about that stuff. Dude, that stuff was like crack! So addictive! It was a staple in my household growing up. The ban doesn’t surprise me, Mexican candy is a gamble xD. It’ll either have lead or feces, but yea dang, explains why I haven’t seen it around in ages.
Black licorice is an abomination that should be eradicated from history…
What is lucas?

I think he’s asking what it actually is. The picture doesn’t help, unless it’s canned duck.
It says hot n spicy chili mix right on the side of the box…
My discovery de jour. Try not to stuff handfuls of this stuff down your gullet. Better than any Sour Patch or Mega Warheads, doesn’t leave a nasty aftertaste.

Bingo!
Why is chili mix making an appearance in a candy thread? or is it candy chili?
Honestly, I didn’t see the chili mix label on the box. I was scouring the product to get a hint but the text is too small. so if it is actual chili mix did you eat that chili powder by itself or with actual chili?
Late,

Yea it’s basically just chili powder, with a hint of sweetness. Or was that the lead? Haha. You just pour some in your hand and lick it up… they had lime flavor too, that one was good.
@grmpy: Yeah, what Xtra said. Mexican candy isn’t usually sweet so much as a weird blend of salty, spicy, and tangy. Lucas was basically salt, chili powder, sugar, and citrus blended together that you could either sprinkle on something like sliced mangos or cucumbers… but as Xtra says, the go-to method of Lucas ingestion was to typically lick it off your hands, hahah.
Mexican candy rules and if you don’t like it you’re a racist.
Saltadillos FTW!!!
Hahaha!!
With summer just around the corner I picked up packs of the ice cream Mars, Snickers and Twix bars. Now if only they’d last until summer.
