Darwin is right! Pop Rocks... Rock!!
I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family.

When I hear the name candy dots, I think of these:

I never liked eating them as more often than not, it involved eating some of the paper they were glued to.

Candy corn. They're flavorless, merely sweet, grainy, and ugly.

Oh, yeah, and those dense, strangely marshmallowy "peanuts", too. Yick. They had this weird, dusty, vaguely orangesque flavor.

Most annoying candy? Any candy not made of dark chocolate.

Those are called Circus Peanuts. I didn't think they were so bad. They didn't really have
anything to do with peanuts other than the shape which seemed really weirdly wonderful.
I thought the texture was neat, and the color was so inexplicable given the peanut shape. I though candy corn was neat---you would bite one color off at a time, endlessly entertaining. Hmmm, should I nip off the rounded end or the pointy end? They were not ugly!!! I can't imagine being annoyed at a candy. It might taste terrible but there's always something interesting about it.

Those things *gesticulates wildly around to show what "those things" might look like* that look quite innocent and rather delicious and sweet - and they turn out to be extremely sour. That's just plain EVIL.

we used to find the candy corn with really large white portions - bite off and eat the yellow and orange parts - and stick the white portions on our teeth for "vampire" teeth.............

I voted Dots.

I'd be okay with Jujy Fruits if they didn't stick to the teeth so badly.

The flavor is banana. I like them. Fluffy-weird like divinity candy. They're one of my great grandmother's favorites, along with chocolate drops (well, they call them creme drops, since the government doesn't actually allow them to call that coating chocolate).

:lol: Banana? Maybe I just concentrated on the texture. Banana flavor is not one of my favorites I must say. Well, it has been quite awhile.
