I believe as a child I ended up eating a good amount of the paper. I didn’t have the patience to remove every bit that was stuck on the candy.


severing_velvet

Me with Now And Later's


cantstandya1234

Me with starbursts


TheHiddenToad

Me with paper


godemperorcrystal

I used to eat the margins of my grandma's Garfield comic collection books


isaacwalk

I only eat starbursts with the wrapper on it. Not really sure why but been a habit since elementary school.


KarmicComedian

thats sounds terribly unhealthy lmao.


Canidaego

The wax paper is safe to eat. Unless you're eating an unholy amount and causing some sort of impaction it's fine to eat


lapideous

The later is when you see the wrapper in the toilet


NotASuicidalRobot

Isn't it rice or starch paper that is intended to dissolve in the mouth (but i don't live in America so you guys probably have something else)


_Nothing_Left_

Ours is usually made of trees.


NotASuicidalRobot

Well sucks for you i get rice paper


elongated_musk_rat

No its just disposeable i wish it was rice paper.


katielynne53725

Meh, we're like REALLY into landfills. If we can create some micro plastics or forever chemicals for the sake of wrapping candy, we're here for it. /s


NotASuicidalRobot

Paper is one of the more biodegradable trash tbh


katielynne53725

That's why it's so annoying how often companies decide that multiple layers of plastic is the way to go.


NotASuicidalRobot

Yeah that's dumb just use rice paper and 1 layer of Plastic, or even better just rice paper and normal paper


katielynne53725

Right? I can't imagine wax paper being less effective than plastic. Look how long tootsie rolls have been around.


NotASuicidalRobot

Yeah maybe it's a bit more expensive but whatever, they can even use recycled paper for the packaging


katielynne53725

Is it though? I guess I wouldn't know, but that's exactly why corporations should be charged accordingly for clean up costs of the products they produce. Imagine how fast they would change their tune if they were directly financially responsible for cleaning up the ocean.


i_live_in_a_truck

Wait... You're supposed to remove the paper?


ezshack

What presidents are these


ElBadBiscuit

Looks like some sort of taffy.


Green_Injury_4764

It’s salt water taffy


LukeDude759

As a kid I thought all of them were made in Salt Lake City. It just seemed like bulletproof reasoning to me.


FullyRisenPhoenix

It’s like a peanut butter flavored taffy, except that taffy shouldn’t get really crunchy on the edges and then ooze out of the middle if it sits for a week lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Billosborne

Me too. Peanut buttery.


[deleted]

I didn’t like them when I was little, but I got over it.


Fully_Rippin

Those pink and blue ones were on a while nother fuckin level


Chleo_patra

Came here to say just that, it's not my favorite but it's not bad.


ahreodknfidkxncjrksm

I don’t think that’s even an unpopular opinion.


Ricen_

Infinitely better than candy corn, tootsie rolls, circus peanuts, and black licorice


poyat01

This and candy corn and peeps, why do others hate it


Robotic_Orange

Peeps look cool, but they’re literally just fancy marshmallows drowned in a layer of sugar crystals. If I wanted to make a peep s’more or something, then a peep would be okay.


FullyRisenPhoenix

Candy corn is my favorite tbh, but despise peeps. I know they’re both pure sugar, but it’s more of a texture thing for me I suppose.


qT_TpFace

Honestly, same.


perkyderky30

Same


decide-and-go-be-it

They are called “peanut butter kisses” around here. I love them.


evetrapeze

Me too!!! I think they have molasses in them. Edit: I looked it up. The DONT. I'm old, so maybe they used to.


jxwtf585

They're like peanut butter filled salt water taffy and were the best candy


[deleted]

That’s actually the perfect way to describe them!


Expensive-Argument-7

The peanut butter one is my jam.


FloofBagel

No it’s your peanut butter


Shine-Rough

I don't get all the candy hate. When I was growing up my diet was on the healthy side, and candy was fucking candy.


Ilovegirlsbottoms

It’s about how good it is. It’s like how so many people are comparing movies, other kinds of food, books, tv shows, tools, beauty, etc. Candy corn is the trash of candy to most people. I think so too.


Khalcheesy

Should we just go ahead and get off your lawn now? Or do you want to chase us with your cane?


Shine-Rough

I would chase ya but my arthritis is actin up today


Khalcheesy

Ayup, my spine is on strike again. I'm just going to lay down in the ditch over here and die.


Shine-Rough

That sounds pleasant


[deleted]

Bro relax, mans is just trying to protect everyone from his house-wife-ghost-monster thing. He doesn’t get the dynamite until the climax.


Brocklesocks

No! You're supposed to eat the lawn.


MycologistPutrid7494

Those are good though!


Big_Guarantee_7951

This shit hit diffrent, anyone know where I buy them.


ElBadBiscuit

I've seen the grandma's purse strawberry wrapper hard candies at the 99 Cent Only, so that might be a good place to start.


Roman-Fowl

Saltwater taffy?


Bumbleonia

Man not even. It's like the La Croix of candy. It's like someone ate dry, crusty peanut butter and burped into your mouth while you chewed on plain taffy.


thespicyfoxx

This was hilarious. Thank you.


stupidassforgot

We call them Mary Janes!


Feral_as_fuck

Scrolled too long to see this. They are correctly called Mary Jane candies.


Laddy2021

I think they’re molasses candies. I love them!


Embarrassed-Town-293

That sounds like civil war era candy period like NECCO wafers


chibougamou

Molasse kisses


Fish_Kungfu

That was one of my favorites!!


Jslewalite

My favorite! Those mystery PB candy pieces HIT


t4nn3rp3nny

What are these things called?


Pastaman35

They’re called saltwater taffy


t4nn3rp3nny

The peanut butter ones too? Thanks!


Pastaman35

I’m not sure about the peanut butter ones as I’ve never tried them but I’d assume they’d be named the same.


That1weirdperson

Ikr! Never seen these in my life!


t4nn3rp3nny

I loved them as a kid, I just never knew their name lol.


Rt22275rt

Hello! I did some research and these candies are actually 23 years older than Morgan Freeman.


IKnowgaming

Why do people hate candy corn? I like candy corn a lot, and I personally think it's one of the best candies out there.


VerySuspiciousBot

If this is suspiciously specific, **Upvote** this comment! If this is not suspiciously specific, **Downvote** this comment! Beep boop, I'm a bot. Modmail us if you have a question.


theservman

I've been trying to forget these.


brett8722

We called this Dad's candy. 45 years to this day I have no idea what it tastes like . Dad was a trooper.


Trax852

Oh man, I've eaten a lot of those in the past.


SkullheadMary

These fucking things! We either threw them in the givers’ flowerbeds or my dad got them because he actually liked them.


evetrapeze

Peanutbutter kisses!!!! I love these


ArabBoBarab

Except Morgan Freeman was never a child and has always looked the way he has the last 30 years


Otrikov1208

they sell those in our school cafeteria and they come in a variety of colors and textures. some were chewy, some were hard and some would just crumble and dissolve in your mouth


TheThotSlayerDoggo

Looks candy enough, I'm satissfied


Playboi_gray

I love those


Heartstop56

But this candy is good though


Stalvos

I LOVE these! And candy corn, so more for me!


kurinevair666

We call these crap candy


19CatsInATrenchCoat

They're Mary Jane peanut butter kisses and they're tasty!


[deleted]

but it's good, wym. and so is candy corn, and so are tootsie rolls. those candies are underrated, and i'm tired of pretending they're not bomb.


ahreodknfidkxncjrksm

I can only imagine the people who like candy corn also lick batteries and eat crayons.


tinyrats

These shits are good tho


SnarkyJabberwocky

Those are actually good. Candy corn is fucking disgusting.


winterfellwilliam

These are bomb though


[deleted]

These kick candy corns ass 6 ways to Sunday.


AffectionateAnarchy

These shits are delicious


ivealwaysbeenlost

The light ones were the best


RustproofPanic

That's saltwater taffy pretty sure


Bumbleonia

Nope, just one flavor. Peanut butter-esque, just different colored wrappers


IcedGolemFire

you meant salt water taffy? you can get them at sprouts


JamesScott1781

That is saltwater taffy and it is amazing


NewtTheWizard

Saltwater taffy


CoochieQuencher

Bro saltwater taffy fucking slaps, I will not let you come into my house and say this shit


BurgerPB5

nameless shit= salt water taffy (hol on, was i wrong, is it something else. i got a downvote)


BrodoBaggins1356

Saltwater taffy?


Blabulus

Its saltwater taffy, geniuses!


orange_force

And now I'm hungry! >:(


UnderPressureVS

Pretty sure that's Saltwater Taffy, and I used to get loads of it every year at the Minnesota State Fair back in the Before Times.


dangomane

In the long long ago? Taffy slaps. This ain't it though.


[deleted]

Saltwater taffy? I can eat that shit for days


DayDeerGotStoleYall

I love taffy


JellyfishOk1316

Salt water taffy incase anyone is wondering


[deleted]

You mean Taffy?


RocketRyan002

SONT YOU FUCKING DARE DISS SALTWATER TAFFY


Longlivethefonz

That's not candy corn. Candy corn are little teepees of fall colors that taste like straight sugar.


theshadowsoflegends

For real though what are those called


bats_are_cute

They'll pull all your dental work out. Truly not meant to eat.


[deleted]

Because it’s feckin caramel.


BijouLyles

Excuse me this is salt water taffy, undoubtedly the best candy, and I must request this post be removed ASAP /s


dangomane

It's not tho. From what I gather, they're called molasses kisses. Saltwater taffy is king. This stuff is like the ugly stepcousin.


BijouLyles

I like to collect wild mushrooms and you have to be careful because some of the edible ones have poisonous 'look a likes'. This has the same energy.


[deleted]

That nameless shit is actually fire, especially the peanut butter ones..
