1. Whats your favorite candy?
Rum balls! I like the fluffy texture and the sprinkles on the outside; they're so good!

Nessa16, I love those dark chocolate, sea salt squares!  I keep mine in the fridge, so they have a nice snap when I eat them.
I can't do the survey right now.  I'm on my tablet and I don't know to copy and paste on it.

1. Whats your favorite candy?

Kazoozles, probably (though Wonka have renamed them to SweeTarts Ropes, but screw that I'm sticking to calling them Kazoozles). Nerds are a close second.

2. What's your least favorite?

Necco Wafers. Awful, awful things.

3. Do you have a preferred type of candy (chocolate, gummies, hard candy, etc.)?

Depends on what I'm in the mood for, really. Chocolate is really nice, but I also love gummies a lot. Hard candy is nice, too...

4. What's a candy you like the others often don't?

Not sure... a lot of unpopular candies I can think of are ones that I also don't like (like Necco Wafers...)

5. Are there candies you don't like that everyone loves?

Hmm.... I'm not sure.

6. Nuts or no nuts?

Yes! Especially peanuts!

7. White, Milk, or Dark chocolate?

Can I say all three?

8. Can you stand sour candy? What's your limit?

Yes, not sure as to my limit though. Many of my favorite candies are pretty tart (I'm a huge fan of Wonka candies in general, and they've got a lot of tart candies like Nerds, SweeTarts, etc), but I don't think I've even tried any super sour candies yet.

9. What's your favorite candy from your country?

Kazoozles.

10. What's your favorite candy from another country?

I haven't had many foreign candies, but I'm a huge fan of Kasugai's strawberry gummies (Japanese). There's a few stores around here that sell them and I like to buy them every now and then.

1) I'm not sure if I have a favorite: I like Starburst, Skittles, Cry Baby Gum Balls, Mamba, Airheads, Reese's Pieces, Cadbury, and a bunch of others.

2) I don't like Peeps at all.

3) I like fruit-flavored chewy candies

4) I love anything that is extremely sour. The brand that makes the Cry Baby gum balls, makes this really sour gumball machine sized variety. I don't know anyone else who likes them. There's also a newly released sweet & spicy Starburst that I really like.

5) I don't like Twizzlers, Kit Kats, or M&M's.

6) I'm okay with nuts, but if given a choice I'll usually go without them.

7) I really like white chocolate. There are these white chocolate truffles that are really good that I get anytime I'm at Dollar General.

8) I love sour candy. I have no limit and will go through an entire bag of Cry Baby gum balls in one sitting.

9) & 10) I'm not sure which candies are made here in the U.S., and which are made internationally.

11) Do you have any weird candy quirks?
(I always swallow my gum)

Oh, same here. After that old myth got debunked I stopped caring, and the habit formed when I'd chew gum before bed and got too lazy to get up to spit it out but was too sanitary to stick it behind my bed. So I swallowed it! And now it's just a force of habit lol

1. Whats your favorite candy?
It's a tie between a few things...Ferrero Rocher, Buttercream eggs, and Twix are my top favorites.
2. What's your least favorite?
Egh, jelly beans. I pass on them every time. Runner up is malted milk balls.
3. Do you have a preferred type of candy (chocolate, gummies, hard candy, etc.)?
Chocolates for sure!
4. What's a candy you like the others often don't?
I guess black licorice? I've met more people that like black licorice than hate it, though, so I'm not sure how rightfully-earned its reputation is.
5. Are there candies you don't like that everyone loves?
Jelly beans, I guess! I'm also not that big of a fan of gummies.
6. Nuts or no nuts?
No nuts! Ferrero Rochers are the exception, not the rule.
7. White, Milk, or Dark chocolate?
Depends on the mood I'm in! I am liking dark chocolate a lot more now than I did as a kid. It makes me feel so adult. White chocolate is just as great, though.
8. Can you stand sour candy? What's your limit?
I don't eat it a lot, I can handle about as much as a normal lemon can give.
9. What's your favorite candy from your country?
The three I just mentioned, I suppose!
10. What's your favorite candy from another country?
The Milka biscuit and chocolate bar.  :lovey:

I am the opposite. I cannot swallow my gum and if I am forced to, it feels so so wrong. It takes a lot of will to swallow it down.

Post by: Griffin on March 11, 2018, 01:44:28 AM

Oooh candy! To be honest I try to avoid candy these days apart from chocolate and liquorice, but that makes the rare occasions I have it all the better.

1. Whats your favorite candy? Can't name one, but some of my all time favourites are Fazer Skolekridt (black liquorice with hard white coating) and Marianne (mint candies with chocolate heart).

2. What's your least favorite? Cheap candy in general; gummies, jelly beans

3. Do you have a preferred type of candy (chocolate, gummies, hard candy, etc.)? Black liquorice and salmiakki (salt liquorice)... my current favourite is chocolate coated liquorice! Also chocolate.

4. What's a candy you like the others often don't? See above... although many Finns do like salmiakki and liquorice. Salmiakki especially divides opinions, you either love it or you hate it. :P

5. Are there candies you don't like that everyone loves? Mignon nougat eggs. In fact I don't much like nougat in general except in small quantities. I've also never cared for cotton candy.

6. Nuts or no nuts? Sure, I love nuts!

7. White, Milk, or Dark chocolate? Any, I prefer dark because you can have it in moderation. :D White chocolate has grown on me (didn't like it when I was younger) and there's nothing like gorging oneself on good quality milk chocolate every now and then.  :biggrin:

8. Can you stand sour candy? What's your limit? Sour candy is okay but not a favourite. This question sounds a bit scary though, I don't think I've ever tried anything super sour...?

9. What's your favorite candy from your country? See above

10. What's your favorite candy from another country? Galaxy Minstrels, Maltesers, Toblerone...

What a fun topic!  ^.^

1. Whats your favorite candy?
Dove Chocolate, or strawberry suckers.

2. What's your least favorite?
Nothing comes to mind. There are very few types of candy I eat, and the rest of it is all in the same simple category of "I don't eat". lol

3. Do you have a preferred type of candy (chocolate, gummies, hard candy, etc.)?
Chocolate!

4. What's a candy you like the others often don't?
Apparently strawberry suckers are not liked because they are so darn hard to find nowadays.

5. Are there candies you don't like that everyone loves?
Oh, I'm sure there's a lot, but nothing comes to mind immediately.

6. Nuts or no nuts?
I'm allergic to nuts.

7. White, Milk, or Dark chocolate?
I would say Milk, however, I really do like White, but only in very small portions.

8. Can you stand sour candy? What's your limit?
It's not really my thing.

9. What's your favorite candy from your country?
I live in the USA - to be honest, I'm pretty clueless on what originates here and what doesn't... It's such a multicultural society nowadays.

10. What's your favorite candy from another country?
I don't know what comes from other countries.  :blush:

9. What's your favorite candy from your country?
Since the US is so big, I'll go with my favorite from my state, which is Jelly Belly. I get big bags of belly flops for $3/lb or $2/lb from the factory or outlet.

Kinder/Ferrero! Ferrero Rocher, hands down.
