why is everyone here so means?!

White Rabbit candies and black jellybeans? You crazy kids... eating stuff that isn't meant to be food. I know the White Rabbit candies well, I once popped one in my mouth after they were given to me as a complimentary gift from a Manga shop in LA (they sent them to me along with my online order), forgetting how incredibly foul they are. After I exorcised it from my jaw, using my kung-fu grip. I vowed, rubbing my tender jaw, never to subject myself to Evil Rabbit Candy Hell, ever again!

As for black jellybeans...Ever seen a liquorice lover eat those things? Because I haven't. They are so nasty, even the Liquorice Queens, you know the foul beasts that eat rope after rope of that vile crap, stop and say "Black Jellybeans? Oh EW, AS-IF! That's not food. It's not even candy."

I adore black jelly beans - the black ropes are pale licorice....but the best is the all-sorts from England.

I saw something about white rabbit candies being recalled today on the news:

White Rabbit candies are probably one of the most common Halloween candies that are given out around here (and have been for years and years). I remember as a kid that when we all portioned out our candies in terms of "eatable-ness" they were generally near the middle bottom; for that point when you'd run out of caramels and toffees but not desperate enough to break into the candy corn, marzipan or flavored marshmallow stash . Weirdly enough, it wasn't that we didn't like them, but more that every year we would forget that we actually thought that they were tasty.

Yep, they had to be recalled recently due to a tainted milk issue (not the White Rabbit maker's fault; the powered, I think, milk came from a separate company with some dodgy quality standards).

No...it was because there were trace amounts of melamine. There's an instant coffee and another product that were recalled due to tainted milk.

Ah! Thanks. My memory isn't what it used to be (although I will note that it was milk powder that was contaminated by melamine, although the problem is much more widespread than only one source ).

[mustluvcatz]

Oooh....well, I clicked and must've mis-read:
"In addition to White Rabbit candies, the agency has already singled out Mr. Brown 3-in-1 Instant Coffee and Nissin Cha Cha desserts for possibly being been made with tainted milk products."

I took that to mean that JUST the Mr. Brown3-in-1 Instant Coffe and the Nissin Cha Cha desserts may have been made with tainted milk products. Silly me. My rum levels must be getting dangerously low...

My family used to buy White Rabbit candies all the time. At first they were nice and soft and chewy. I think they must have stopped making them and relied on 40 year old back stock, because the last few times we bought them it was like trying to chew on metal. We finally stopped purchasing them after that.

Marzipan, near the bottom of tasty treats?  No wai!

I adore marzipan.

I enjoy it, too! Around Halloween time, you can find those peanut butter kiss thingies... Those are addictive, even if they will pull out a filling or two.

I like candy corn.

[Paden]

I don't mind candy corn now and then, but if I eat too much of it I wurf it up fast.

I really (REALLY) enjoy Andés Candies. Those things are like heaven to me. I always get scolded every year around Christmas time because I steal every last one of those delicious little devils from the candy bowl.

Every year, I piss off at least 10 relatives. I should have learned at age 5 that turkey and chocolate don't go together. But I'm a hard head, so I'll never learn.

Ya know those licorice all-sorts?  I dont like the solid ones, but go for those little ball covered round soft ones.

Traditional candy-wise, I'm a gummi bear and jellybean fanatic. But only certain gummi bears and jellybeans. Haribo gummi bears are heaven and I loooove Jelly Bellys, especially the vanilla, dr pepper, and watermelon flavored ones. The buttered popcorn ones are EVIL, however.
